Authors on the Air: Hurricanes, Unwrapped; Remembering Zevon; Peeing in Peace

Compiled by Diane Patrick, PW Daily -- Publishers Weekly, 6/1/2007

This morning on Today: Bryan Norcross, author of Hurricane Almanac: The Essential Guide to Storms Past, Present, and Future (St. Martin’s Griffin, $11.99).

On The Leonard Lopate Show:
Crystal Zevon remembers her late husband in I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon (Ecco, $26.95). PW’s starred review declared it “a sharp, funny, jaw-dropping rock biography that's among the best of the subgenre.”

Editor Dan Crowe and contributor Siri Hustvedt discussed How I Write: The Secret Lives of Authors (Rizzoli, $35). PW considered it a “playful and snappily designed book of text and photographs.”

On The View, actress and designer Jane Seymour showed Making Yourself at Home: Finding Your Creativity and Putting It All Together (DK Adult, $40). From PW’s review: “[H]er budget-minded tips and eye for composition are sure to give novice designers the techniques and the confidence to express their own style.”

Montel sat down with Beth Feldman and Yvette Manessis Corporon, authors of Peeing in Peace: Tales & Tips for Type A Moms (NK Publications, $15.95).

Sunday on Meet the Press, campaign strategist Robert Shrum offers No Excuses: Concessions of a Serial Campaigner (S&S, $28). PW’s review had this to say: “Casual judgments and frank disclosures along the way make this a provocative and entertaining behind-the-scenes look at American politics.”
