SUMMARY:Bethany Beach Books Meet the Author: Gina Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Meet Gina Wilson\, author of "Silicone Valley East"\, at Bethany Beach Books\, Monday\, July 13th at 630pm!\n\n \n"Silicon Valley East" is the 3rd Place Fiction Award-Winner\, Delaware Press Association's 2026 Communications Contest\n\n\n\n "Silicon Valley East" is a novel of historical fiction. Set in the early 1980s\, a period of great technological revolution\, this retro romp centers on a hub of innovation in the Philadelphia suburbs\, which President Ronald Reagan dubbed the 'Silicon Valley of the East.' The novel tells the story of Christina Como\, a determined young woman breaking barriers in a male-dominated field\, as she navigates the emerging tech world and brings hospitals into the computer age.\n\n\n\nThe story explores themes of women in STEM\, imposter syndrome\, ambition and entrepreneurship as the protagonist pushes back against limiting gender role expectations and questions societal norms.  Capturing scenes of 1980s culture and an era of explosive technological growth\, "Silicon Valley East" is a compelling narrative of ambition and personal transformation\, as relevant today as it was in the 80s. \n\n\n\nGina M. Wilson\, MS\, is a holistic executive coach and author\, and founder of System Strategies Consulting and Coaching. Formerly a software developer and healthcare strategist\, Gina coaches healthcare professionals and tech industry leaders using evidence-based practices to foster peak performance\, well-being\, and success.

She has published two non-fiction books "Skills That Build: The Hard Science of Soft Skills for Work and Life"\, and "Fearless First Year: A Student Guide for College Transition\, Success\, and Well-Being". Her latest book\, "Silicon Valley East"\, spotlights themes of imposter syndrome\, women in tech\, meaningful work\, and entrepreneurship.
