This morning on The Today Show: bestseller Lis Wiehl, co-author of Hand of Fate (Thomas Nelson, 978-1595547064, $24.99; Oasis Audio unabridged CD, $29.99), the second novel in the Triple Threat series, which PW said "offers an exciting if familiar plot."
On The Wendy Williams Show, Father Alberto Cutié discussed his upcoming book Dilemma: A Priest's Struggle with Faith and Love (Celebra, 978-0451232014, $25.95), which pubs in January.

On The Leonard Lopate Show, food journalist Laura Shapiro served up Perfection Salad: Women and Cooking at the Turn of the Century (Univ. of California Press, 978-0520257382, $16.95). PW thought "This serious study is lively entertainment, spiced by the author's wit and wry perceptions."

The Diane Rehm Show chatted with longtime Forbes magazine correspondent Richard Morais, whose debut novel is The Hundred-Foot Journey (Scribner, 978-1439165645, $23). From PW's review: "Morais delves into a rich, imagery-filled culinary world that begins in Bombay and ends in Paris, tracing the career of Hassan Haji as he becomes a famed Parisian chef. Regardless of one's relationship with food, this novel will spark the desire to wield a whisk or maybe just a knife and fork."

PW's review declared "O'Connell has established the new standard for studies of the second conflict between Rome and Carthage. In dramatic and comprehensive fashion, he describes the rivalry, based on temperament and territory, that led to the slaughter at Cannae in 216 B.C.E. and beyond."
