One thing we mostly don't do on this show is interview an "author who has a book out." As you can probably imagine, that's just about the easiest show or segment to schedule. We're barraged all day every day with solicitations from publishers and publicists. And usually we say we won't do it, unless it fits into some larger theme we're working on.
Today we're breaking the rule for authors Luanne Rice and Joseph Kanon. One reason for that is that they're both old friends of mine, and Luanne was actually involved in the launching of this show three years ago.
But it's not like either one of them needs much help from us. They're both best selling authors.
But each of them has written an especially intriguing novel about the games people play, and in each case I can say to you, without fear that friendship is coloring my judgment, that if you like the genre they're working in, you're going to love having this book in your beach bag.
