"GOOD MORNING" FOR LAHAYE AND JEKINS

"Left Behind" series authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins will appear on Good Morning America tomorrow morning to promote their new book, The Regime, which hits shelves the same day. The book is the second in the 'Before They Were Left Behind" trilogy.

Here's the book description: The second exciting installment in this series will continue the story of the rise of the Antichrist and the journey of the other main characters as time, unknown to them, hurdles toward the Rapture. Readers will want every possible soul saved to avoid the 7-year Tribulation, and they will see why characters such as Rayford, Chloe and Buck fail to believe. Events in Israel will be heating up, and some main characters like Rayford and Buck are thrust into the thick of the drama.

WORK IN PROGRESS

For those of you who miss those posts that were more about the inner workings of being a novelist, I have re-launched "Learning Curve" as a separate blog. I am still fiddling day-by-day with some of the functionality of it; today, I discovered how to add the RSS Feed so readers can subscribe to it with an RSS reader.

When I get a chance, I'll be posting some of the behind-the-scenes adventures as we ramp up for the release of my next novel, the quirky crime drama Deliver Us From Evelyn.

(P.S. -- I love the plot description they just posted at Christianbook.com.)

CLASSIC KIRK AND WILLIE

Before Left Behind: The Movie, actor Kirk Cameron made a name for himself, of course, on the TV sitcom "Growing Pains." Before "Bibleman," actor/director/writer Willie Aames was one of the stars of "Eight Is Enough." Now you can relive both series online as AOL begins webcasting these classic TV shows -- as well as a slate ranging from "F Troop" to "Pinky and the Brain" to "Spenser: For Hire."

USA Today reports that beginning in January, AOL and corporate partner Warner Bros. will webcast 300 episodes a month of 100 classic TV series. AOL will offer six "channels" of shows -- including drama, comedy and cartoons, with at least 10 episodes of each show.
