Dear All,

As you all know, Book Case TV was supposed to launch last Monday, Oct 29th. Well it turned out that the time of the launch, 9:30 pm, coincided with the peak of Sandy’s rage in and around NY. Even though our anticipation ran high, we were just beginning to receive news of the devastation that Sandy causing. It is a weird time to be excited. Suffices to say that the Gods took care of the problem and leveled the mood field. Time Warner went down roughly 10 minutes before our show was due to air…

Because of the exceptional circumstances surrounding our launch (and others), NYC Life has decided to reset the clock back to start. The new launch will occur at exactly the same time as last week but on Monday Nov 5th.

Here is the highlight of the episode, which I hope you will find worth tuning in.

Episode #1: Title: Setting the Tone

For the season Premiere, host Frederic Colier interviews Rambo creator, David Morrell, about his new book, “Murder as a Fine Art.”

Visit to Book Expo America at the Jarvis Center, interviews with Michael Koryta, Sylvia Day, Robin Sloan. News segment about Lee Child.

Books featured: Allan Topol “The China Gambit.” Jessica Keener “Night Swim.” Kambri Crews “Burn Down the Ground.” Steve Berry “The Columbus Affair.”

See you Monday. We look forward to your feedback and commenting on us on all the social media.

The team here at Book Case TV has been working around the clock since the beginning of summer to produce the 12 episodes for this season. Launch is just round the corner, we are ready for it. Max is furiously editing days in and days out, all the dozens of hours of footage, while Tonia spends the day with a phone stuck to her ears, and Jane irons Freddy’s suit. Who is Freddy you may ask? Well within four days, you will know all about him. Suffices to say that he tends to be grumpy and distrustful.

The format for the new season will be quite different from the first one. We also strayed from the talking heads expected mold of book program. For a start, each episode will be 30 mns long, versus the 10 mns length for Season 1. We are also putting together 12 episodes, not just 8. Although the main focus of our program remains the author interviews, we have incorporated several eclectic and entertaining segments. For example in BookWorld, each week, we cover an aspect of the publishing industry. It could deal with an E-book distributor, a visit to a publisher, or a report about straight publishing news. InPOTW (as we like to refer to it), which stands for Pick of The Week, our host, Frederic Colier, gives his opinion about a wide selection of new releases. In Book End, we give our audience members the opportunity to answer some of our most puzzling questions: “In the world of e-books, what do you use your bookshelves for?” Talking about books with their authors should not always be dry and too intellectual.

The new season kicks off on October 29th at 9:30 pm on NYC Life (Channel 25), and every Monday thereafter. The day after an episode airs, it will go straight on VOD (free) via NYC Life’s website.
To help us promote our program, we created two commercials, which are currently airing on NYC Life and in all the NY cabs, Pencils and Noir Fatal.

Max Shuppert and Frederic Colier are the executive producers of the program.
