The next chapter

I was recently having lunch in Greenwich with an up-and-coming author — my father, H.T. Narea, whose debut thriller The Fund comes out May 10. Over a couple of iced teas, we discussed how today’s publishing world is decidedly different than the one my grandfather, novelist Paul Erdman, knew back in the 70s and 80s.
To give you an idea, a Google image search brings up an iconic photo of Paul Erdman from The Sonoma County Independent, reposing on the patio by the pool of his California ranch and overlooking the surrounding vineyards.
It was there that he completed the manuscripts of many of his best sellers on a portable Olivetti typewriter with a cigar in his teeth and a bottle of Wite-Out at his side.
It’s perhaps a quaint scene, romantic even, in comparison to my father’s nationwide multimedia marketing campaign, spanning newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and social networking sites. Indeed, his over 27,000 followers on Twitter speak for themselves — a Google search of H.T. Narea returns a decidedly 21st-Century approach to book marketing.What happens when gas is $10 a gallon?

Tired of paying $4-plus a gallon for gasoline? Well, your pain has just begun.
For decades we’ve lived (and driven) in denial, somehow assuming we have the “right” to cheap gasoline, and therefore, low-cost transportation. Now it’s time to face reality and consider what will happen when (not if) gas hits $10 a gallon.
The following are my hypotheses. These things haven’t happened yet, but seem likely when gas prices inevitably soar to double digits a gallon.
Air transport: Following the demise of a dozen airlines and the shrinking of the remaining carriers, air fares soar and service is cut. Air travel becomes affordable to few. Airport congestion fades as business trips are replaced with teleconferencing. Hotels are shuttered as business travel wanes and “leisure travel” becomes unaffordable.Op-Ed: A Whim — And You Heard Nothing At All

On a whim the other day, my wife Yin-Chu and I decided to stay in Skhirat, a small seaside town north of Casablanca. It meant we would be able to meet with a dear friend of mine who was visiting Rabat, the capital of Morocco, only a few miles north of our hotel.
It is in part why you probably never or only barely heard about a large al Qaeda-style terrorist bombing in Marrakech, Morocco last Saturday. Even though the Prince and Princess wed and Donald Trump ate up the rest of the media’s attention with obviously ‘trumped’ up charges — both making us sigh or laugh — I suspect that had we made a different choice on Thursday, April 28, you would have also eventually learned about our whims, too.
You see, Yin-Chu and I were whimsically thinking about traveling to Marrakech and taking part in the local scene, one which would have placed us in the spot and at the general time of an explosion in the Argana Café that killed sixteen people that sunny day last week. Did you miss that one? No surprise; yet had an American been killed there, had our whim taken us to Marrakech rather than Rabat on one given day, had we been in the city center at that time, you might have seen my wife’s shoe.Saks’ April in Paris helps troops overseas
