Top drawer journalist, Steve Roberts, with his wife, Cokie.
At 9.45AM this morning my novel, The Hundred-Foot Journey, was ranked #5,746 in sales among all the books on Amazon.com. At 6.08PM this evening my book officially was among the top 100 books sold by Amazon. Precise tally:
The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais
Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #97 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
#23 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Literary
#64 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Contemporary
What happened between nine this morning and six this evening? NPR’s Diane Rehm Show, guest-hosted by the consummate pro, Steve Roberts, had me on the air for an hour. It was an extraordinary experience. I was in particular moved by the depth of the questions, not just from the urbane Roberts, but also from fellow Americans all across the country who called in to ask me questions, and to share their own food and family and cultural experiences. My special thanks to the show’s producer, Nancy Robertson, who plucked me for the show and did all the heavy lifting behind the scenes. A huge radio talent.

The incomparable Diane Rehm Show
I am, as the English say, “chuffed” to be invited on The Diane Rehm Show on WAMU FM 88.5 in Washington DC. For those outside of America, The Diane Rehm Show is one of the jewels of National Public Radio, and it’s a great honor to be a guest on the program to talk about The Hundred-Foot Journey. The show will be live and an hour long, and it includes listeners calling in to ask me questions. Ms. Rehm will be out that day, so I will be interviewed by her stand-in, Steve Roberts. Anyone who has perused Roberts’ bio might understandably come to the conclusion I should be interviewing him. Can’t wait. Should be a hoot.
My appearance on the live show is on July 28th, and is usually around 11.00AM or 12.00PM on local NPR stations around the country. To find a NPR station near you that carries The Diane Rehm Show, click here.
