Strange Bedfellows - A Cautionary Tale for Times of Global Change
Everything is going great for Paul and Christina. Their careers are fast-tracking them to success, and their future prospects are excellent. They take what they desire and live life to the fullest. Everyone and everything around them reinforces their entitlement, and they have no reason to question their right to do what they please, when they please, to whomever they please. But in the blink of an eye, everything they've worked so hard for is at risk. What will they do, when a grisly guest appears out of nowhere? Will they have the courage to make the changes necessary to save themselves from a horrible fate they have helped to create? "Strange Bedfellows" is a cautionary tale for our times, a retelling of an epic, intricately detailed dream Kay Stoner received in 1992. This is a story of truth and consequence... entitlement and impoverishment... conscious choice and change... and the hazards of being motivated solely by self-centered fear and short-sighted ignorance.

Bring Me the Head of Opal Mehta
In the spring of 2006, the book "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life" was sacrificed to the gods of the publishing establishment. Its author, Kaavya Viswanathan, was thrust into the limelight as a plagiarist and lost her huge book deal. After a few weeks of impassioned debate, the scandal faded to an uncomfortable memory.

But the drama that set the blogosphere on fire was not an isolated incident in the American publishing scene. It illustrated current globalizing trends that undermine the integrity of local subcultures, including the world of high tech development.

Drawing on the author's own experiences with Indian offshore outsourcing, Bring Me the Head of Opal Mehta finds parallels between the public failure of a promising novel and often-unreported failings in Indian offshoring of U.S. technical jobs, and sends out a call to the American technical community to meet head-on the social and logistical challenges of offshore outsourcing.
