Media Heat: Robert Pinsky, Gert Boyle

Among some authors making media appearances next week:

On Wednesday on Good Morning America: Anna Wallner, author of Shopping Bag Tips, Tricks, and Inside Information to Make You a Savvy Shopper (Dutton, $19.95, 0525948872).

Thursday the Early Show sports Gert Boyle, chair of Columbia Sportswear, star of the company's advertising and author of One Tough Mother (WestWinds Press, $19.95, 1558689087).

Also on Thursday, KCRW's Bookworm features Robert Pinsky, author of The Life of David (Schocken). As the show describes it: "Robert Pinsky, a former poet-laureate, writes a biography-tribute to the Biblical King David, the poet warrior. Our conversation circles the subject of heroism as it is manifested in the contradictory character of King David--the most paradoxical figure in the Old Testament."

On New Year's Eve Day, All Things Considered gets into the spirit of the evening by speaking with Don Kladstrup, author of Champagne: How the World's Most Glamorous Wine Triumphed Over War and Hard Times (Morrow, $23.95, 0060737921). We'll drink to that!
