Nantucket III

Nantucket III

We’ve been dining at the Pearl in Nantucket since it opened 11 years ago, Asian fusion in an upscale atmosphere. (It’s much easer to park these days on the cobblestones, because the crowds are smaller and the Ferraris had only 4 inches of clearance!) I had a wonderful, rare big-eye tuna with Japanese cold noodles. The drive back on winding roads with the top down, pretty much deserted, is always a treat, but the canopy of stars didn’t develop because of the overcast hovering over the island.

I’m sitting out on our terrace this morning, looking at the bay, just finished the next segment of my newest book, The Consulting Bible,due out early next year from Wiley. McGraw-Hill tells me that Million Dollar Speakingshould be out in September since I beat the submission deadline by so much.

Went all the way down to the edge of the dock this morning, strong winds, white caps, boats bobbing, had to hold my hat in my hand. Invigorating. Life is grand.

    Alan,

    I’m intrigued by the title of “The Consulting Bible”. When I wrote my first book, The Three Secrets of Green Business, my original title was “The Green Business Bible” but my (UK-based) publisher maintained that non-religious books with the word ‘Bible’ “wouldn’t sell in the US”. I assume your perspective is different and I’d love to hear it!

    Thanks, I’ll bear that in mind when I come to write the third in the series (second out next year) as I preferred the original title.

    I look forward to The Consulting Bible.

    It’s not my perspective. Major publishers such as Wiley love the title and that slant. Have you Googled books with this title. The editor in your publisher is out of touch with the US market, to say the least.
