I know I’ve mentioned here before that I often watch the Today Show in the morning as I am getting ready for work. This morning, as I buzzed around trying to figure out what to wear, I was entertained by Meredith, Matt, and Anne’s interview with the show’s very own weatherman turned novelist, Al Roker, whose debut who-dun-it is appropriately titled The Morning Show Murders. Take a peek at the video. Looks like everyone involved had a bit of fun at work. Perhaps RH Library should stage something like this… What do you think?

 Whether The Morning Show Murders (say that five times fast!) turns out to be Ms. Viera in Studio 1A with the teleprompter or just maybe Mr. Lauer in the Green Room with the boom, well… you’ll have to read it yourself to find out!

This guy wrote a mystery novel.

So I’m sitting here this morning putting together the upcoming Library Bulletin for Fall and in the Mystery/Suspense/Thriller section I notice that one of our authors’ names is Al Roker. And I immediately think, wow, we have an author named Al Roker. That’s funny; he must get all kinds of…

And at this point I notice the title: The Morning Show Murders.

Okay, so the Al Roker has written a mystery novel? And we’re publishing it? And I guess I’m the last one around here to know about it? Why didn’t anyone tell me? I need to know these things! You do too. That’s why I’m writing about it. Can’t wait to read it. And looking forward to Larry Bird’s paranormal romance next year.

Look for this one in November.
