About the Author

Lee Driftwood is an author based in Connecticut who spent more than twenty five years untangling complex systems before turning to fiction.
He writes stories where wonder and darkness meet, from supernatural noir to imaginative tales for younger readers, always with a human heart.
When not writing, he can be found with his wife and twin boys, a stack of books, a cup of tea, and never quite enough cookies.

The Forgotten Flame series

When the divine falls, the streets remember.
In the shadows of New York, fallen angel Michael Ryder and NYPD detective Gabi Brant, a woman with no past, are pulled into an ancient war where redemption has a price and no one escapes the balance.

Best Practices for Worst Outcomes

A satirical survival guide for anyone who has watched a good idea disappear into meetings, reorgs, and corporate jargon. Best Practices for Worst Outcomes turns 25 years of tech leadership into painfully familiar lessons on how organizations unravel.

– Former VP of Whatever Was Trending“Reads like a therapy session for anyone who’s survived a ‘visioning workshop.’”
– Middle Manager #452“Too real. Please take this book down before my boss sees it.”
– Terrified Intern“This book ruined our quarterly planning session. Thank you.”
– Director of Strategic Alignment (whatever that means)“We thought it was a parody. Turns out, it’s our operating model.”
– Unpaid Consultan
