Julie Powell charmed readers with Julie and Julia, in which she chronicled her quest to cook, in one year, every recipe out of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. After its huge success and that of the subsequent blockbuster movie, she's back with a new memoir: Cleaving: A Book of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession. Far from a fluffy follow-up, she writes about learning to cut up animals at a butcher shop in upstate New York, while trying to make sense of her marriage after having an obsessive, two year affair.

Interview with Julie Powell

Interview with Chelsea Cain
Chelsea Cain's debut novel, Heartsick, was a New York Times bestseller that garnered enthusiastic praise from...basically everyone. Stephen King placed the thriller on his ten best books of 2008 list, along with its follow-up, Sweetheart. Booklist gave a starred review to the recently released third book in the series, Evil at Heart, saying, "Popular entertainment...just doesn't get much better than this." Chelsea Cain took some time during her book release mayhem to talk about the role of Larry King as muse, Heartsick the movie, and why disembowelment is sometimes funny. (Or at least, why it should be.)
