Earl Merkel: Sunday, 9 p.m. Eastern Time, on "The Book, With Earl Merkel": authors Shane Gericke, Steve Doocy, Del Stone, Julie Hyzy, and Sean Conrad! • • • It’s a new month, and in keeping with the reputation that July has fully earned as the height of summer-vacation indolence, Sunday night "The Book, With Earl Merkel" is loaded with our cunning philosophy of letting other writers do our heavy lifting. This evening, we have a shipload of them on our lineup. You’ll hear from journalist and columnist Del Stone, forelonely bumped from last week’s Technology Disaster of mixing live call-in segment with our usual pre-recorded –that is, kept under tight, even ANAL, production control. Del will ruminate on the joys and perils of column-writing in today’s world of Internet-assisted immediate reader-feedback. In addition, we’ll bring you chapter-segments that include “audio essays” from other fine writers who have submitted their works to us. Tonight, there are our “Classic Conversation” interview segments –tonight, two of them. We’ll showcase our interview with bestselling thriller writer Shane Gericke, who talks about his success as a writer of suspenseful novels set not in the gritty urban centers… but in the REAL belly of the beast, suburbia. In addition, tho perhaps not quite as harrowing, we’ll present a funny-bone-tickling interview with TV morning-show host Steve Doocy, whose adventures are chronicled in his hilarious non-fiction book “Tales From The Dad-Side.” Prepare to snort coffee –or WHATever you drink when you listen to The Book—right out of your nose as Steve Doocy talks about his life as a father. ALSO: best-selling author Julie Hyzy, who writes a genteel variety of murder mysteries called “cozies” –and is proud of it. Just as proud is radio disk-jockey and on-air personality Sean Conrad, who talks about his new memoir in which he details the dizzying heights and stunning lows of a career behind the microphone.
