YEAH, IT'S A BIG MOMENT FOR ISRAEL AND THIS REGION. SINWAR WAS THE ARCHITECT OF THE DEADLIEST TERROR ATTACK IN ISRAEL HISTORY ON OCTOBER 7TH. HE EVADED THE
IDF FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. INCREDIBLY IT WAS AN ISRAELI PATROL IN SOUTHERN GAZA THAT STUMBLED ACROSS HIM AND THEN TOOK HIM OUT. THIS MORNING ISRAEL'S MOST WANTED TERRORIST IS DEAD. ISRAELI MILITARY DRONE VIDEO CAPTURED THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THE MAN WHO MASTERMINDED THE OCTOBER 7TH MASSACRE. SINWAR SEEN SITTING INSIDE A DESTROYED BUILDING AFTER AN INTENSE GUN BATTLE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

THANK YOU. FOR MORE ON THE IMPACT OF THE HAMAS LEADER'S KILLING AND THE U.S. REACTION, LET'S BRING IN OUR CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ. GOOD MORNING. >> Reporter: GOOD MORNING, WHIT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY
A MAJOR WIN FOR THE ISRAELIS AND A HUGE BLOW TO HAMAS. IT IS POSSIBLE IT COULD HASTEN THE END OF THE WAR AND, HOPEFULLY, MEAN THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES. BUT NONE OF THAT IS CERTAIN. WHEN THE NEWS WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED, THERE WAS FEARS THAT THE HOSTAGES WOULD BE EXECUTED IN RETALIATION AND, OF COURSE, THAT FEAR STILL REMAINS. YOU HEARD AVIVA. BUT THEN HAMAS WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO BARGAIN WITH. BUT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SENDING SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN TO ISRAEL IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO TRY AND REINVIGORATE CEASE FIRE TALKS. HAMAS IS CLEARLY
REELING FROM THE LOSS OF SINWAR. THE RELENTLESS ATTACKS BY THE ISRAELIS IN GAZA THAT HAVE LEFT TENS OF THOUSANDS DEAD AND MILLIONS FACING STARVATION. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE END OF HAMAS TERROR. WE HEARD PRESIDENT BIDEN COMPARE THE DEATH OF SINWAR TO THE KILLING OF BIN LADEN, BUT THE PRESIDENT ALSO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT. AL QAEDA WAS CRIPPLED, BUT THEN THE TERROR GROUP ISIS GAINED STRENGTH. THAT IS SOMETHING THE ISRAELIS WANT BADLY TO AVOID. REBECCA? >> Rebecca: ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. MARTHA, THANK YOU.

PRESIDENT BIDEN IS HERE IN GERMANY MEETING WITH WORLD LEADERS AND RENEWING CALLS TO END THE WAR IN GAZA. PRESIDENT BIDEN IS OPTIMISTIC THAT SINWAR'S DEATH WILL FINALLY RESTART NEGOTIATIONS FOR A CEASEFIRE DEAL. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS MADE CLEAR THAT IT WAS SINWAR WHO WAS THE MAJOR OBSTACLE TO GETTING A DEAL DONE. U.S. OFFICIALS ARE ALSO HOPEFUL THAT NETANYAHU WILL TAKE THIS WIN AND SOFTEN HIS OWN STANCE. PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BE SENDING HIS SECRETARY OF
STATE TO ISRAEL IN THE COMING DAYS. WHEN BIDEN WAS ASKED WHEN HE THINKS NETANYAHU WILL END THIS WAR, BIDEN SAID VERY SOON. HERE IN GERMANY, BIDEN IS TRYING TO CEMENT HIS LEGACY AND STRENGTHEN ALLIANCES AT A TIME WHEN MANY U.S. ALLIES ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER TRUMP PRESIDENCY. BIDEN JUST RECEIVED GERMANY'S HIGHEST HONOR OF MERIT AND PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL ALSO BE MEETING WITH THE LEADERS OF GERMANY, FRANCE AND THE U.K. WITH THE WARS IN UKRAINE AND THE MIDDLE EAST AT THE TOP OF THEIR AGENDA. MICHAEL? >> Michael: BIG AGENDAS RIGHT THERE, SELINA.

THEY NEED. THEY DID NOT WANT THIS. >> Reporter: HARRIS CALLING TRUMP OUT FOR TRYING TO SOFTEN HIS STANCE ON ABORTION AFTER HE TOLD A TOWN HALL OF ALL WOMEN VOTERS THIS WEEK THAT HE'S THE, QUOTE, FATHER OF IVF. >> NOW THE MAN CALLS HIMSELF THE FATHER OF IVF. I MEAN, WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? [ LAUGHTER ] HE IS THE ONE, BY THE WAY, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING AT RISK IN THE FIRST PLACE. >> Reporter: HARRIS UPPING HER WARNINGS ABOUT A SECOND TRUMP TERM HAMMERING THE MESSAGE THAT HE IS A DANGER TO DEMOCRACY, GOING
AFTER TRUMP'S SUGGESTION THAT HE WOULD USE THE MILITARY TO GO AFTER HIS OPPONENT. >> JOURNALISTS WHOSE STORIES HE DOESN'T LIKE. NONPARTISAN ELECTION OFFICIALS WHO REFUSE TO CHEAT BY FINDING A FEW EXTRA VOTES FOR HIM. JUDGES WHO INSIST ON FOLLOWING THE LAW INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING HIM. IT IS FOR REASONS LIKE THESE THAT GENERAL MARK MILLE, FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, DONALD TRUMP'S TOP GENERAL, HAS CALLED TRUMP, AND I QUOTE, FASCIST TO THE CORE. >> Reporter: SLAMMING HIM FOR CALLING JANUARY 6TH A, QUOTE, DAY OF LOVE. >> 140 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WERE INJURED THAT

THE FORMER PRESIDENT TURNED FROM MAKING POLITICAL JOKES TO LAUNCHING VERY PERSONAL ATTACKS AGAINST VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND JUST HOURS BEFORE THAT HE QUESTIONED HER RACIAL IDENTITY AGAIN AND CAST OUT ON THE INTEGRITY OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. WITH JUST 18 DAYS TO GO AND THE
RACE LOCKED IN A DEAD HEAT, DONALD TRUMP ALREADY CASTING DOUBT ON THE ELECTION RESULTS IF HE LOSES. >> IF THE ELECTION'S NOT RIGGED, WE'RE GONNA WIN. IF IT IS RIGGED, LIKE I SAID, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. WE'LL FIND OUT PRETTY SOON. >> Reporter: THE FORMER PRESIDENT STILL HASN'T CONCEDED THE 2020 ELECTION. HE LOST MORE THAN 50 COURT CASES CHALLENGING THE RESULTS. THE FINAL STRETCH, TRUMP LEANING INTO ATTACKS QUESTIONING VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS' RACIAL IDENTITY. >> THEY HAVE A WOMAN WHO IS BLACK, OR YOU WOULD SAY SHE'S INDIAN. SHE IS BLACK. BUT SHE REALLY, LOT OF PEOPLE
DIDN'T KNOW, WHICH IS TRUE. >> I LEARNED ABOUT IT JUST A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. >> THAT SHE'S BLACK OR THAT SHE'S INDIAN? >> THE FACT THAT SHE'S BLACK. I THOUGHT SHE WAS INDIAN. >> Reporter: SHE WAS BORN TO JAMAICAN AND INDIAN PARENTS. SHE ATTENDED A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE AND WAS A MEMBER OF THE BLACK CAUCUS WHILE SERVING IN THE SENATE. OVERNIGHT TRUMP ATTENDING THE AL SMITH CHARITY DINNER IN NEW YORK, TRADITIONALLY ATTENDED BY BOTH NOMINEES. ONLY TRUMP SHOWING UP IN PERSON. THE FORMER PRESIDENT GETTING A MIXED REACTION FROM THE CROWD, TURNING FROM POLITICAL JOKES TO
AIRING GRIEVANCES AND LAUNCHING PERSONAL ATTACKS AGAINST HIS RIVALS, EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING SOME OF HIS JOKES CROSSED THE LINE. >> IT'S A TRUE PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU, AMAZING PLEASURE. THESE DAYS IT'S REALLY A PLEASURE ANYWHERE IN NEW YORK WITHOUT A SUBPOENA FOR MY APPEARANCE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Reporter: HARRIS ADDRESSED THE EVENT IN A VIDEO FEATURING MOLLY SHANNON. PORTRAYING HER SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE CHARACTER MARY CATHERINE GALLAGHER. >> IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BRING UP TONIGHT? >> WELL, DON'T LIE. THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS TO THY NEIGHBOR. >> INDEED. ESPECIALLY THY NEIGHBOR'S
ELECTION RESULTS. >> Reporter: THE FORMER PRESIDENT STILL RAILING AGAINST THE VICE PRESIDENT. STILL COMPLAINING THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS NO LONGER IN THE RACE AND CLAIMS HE WOULD, QUOTE, DISPOSE OF HARRIS. >> I DIDN'T LIKE BIDEN VERY MUCH AND NOW I LIKE HIM QUITE A BIT. [ LAUGHTER ] NOW I SAY SHE'S MUCH WORSE THAN HIM. HE WAS A MUCH BETTER CANDIDATE THAN HER ACTUALLY. WHEN WE HOPEFULLY WIN, DISPOSE OF HER, I'LL LIKE HER A LOT. BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T STAND HER. >> SO THERE WERE SOME AUDIBLE GASPS IN THAT ROOM WHEN THE FORMER PRESIDENT
DELIVERED THAT LINE. YOU MENTIONED HEARING THAT HARRIS WILL BE IN MICHIGAN TODAY. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ALSO GOING TO THAT STATE AS WELL. HE WILL BE CAMPAIGNING IN DETROIT. LAST TIME HE WAS THERE HE WAS ATTACKING THE CITY. >> Rebecca: 18 MORE DAYS TO GO. RACHEL, THANK YOU. WE TURN NOW TO NEW CDC DATA SIGNALING THE LOWEST RECORDED LEVEL OF TOBACCO USE AMONG TEENS.

EVEN E-CIGARETTE USE DROPPED FROM 10% TO 7.8%. MEDICAL EXPERTS CONSIDER THIS UNDENIABLE PROGRESS. AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY ONE IN THREE HIGH SCHOOLERS WERE SMOKING, 34%. THERE ARE AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IMPROVEMENT. THERE WAS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN YOUTH NICOTINE POUCH USE TO 2.4%. WE SHOULD NOTE EVEN WITH THESE LOW PERCENTAGES, 2.25 MILLION YOUNG PEOPLE STILL SAY THEY'RE USING TOBACCO AND E-CIGARETTES. THIS IS
STILL A MAJOR CULTURAL SHIFT FROM 25 YEARS AGO, GUYS. >> Michael: BIG SHIFT THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE GONNA SHIFT GEARS. TO BASEBALL AND THE PLAYOFFS. NOT A NIGHT FOR NEW YORK.

GOOD MORNING AGAIN, TOM. >> Reporter: MICHAEL, YES. SINWAR WAS THE ARCHITECT OF THE DEADLIEST TERROR ATTACK IN ISRAEL HISTORY ON OCTOBER 7TH. HE EVADED THE IDF FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. INCREDIBLY, IT WAS THE PATROLLERS OF THE ISRAELI RESERVISTS WHO STAPLUMBLED ACROSS HIM WEDNESDAY. THEY USED A DRONE TO PURSUE HIM INTO A BUILDING AND SOON AFTER HE WAS KILLED. AT THAT POINT THEY HAD NO IDEA
IT WAS SINWAR. IN FACT, IT WAS ONLY THE NEXT DAY WHEN TROOPS RETURNED TO THE SCENE THEY REALIZED THEY HAD KILLED THE LEADER OF HAMAS AND ISRAEL'S MOST WANTED TERRORIST.

WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT. SO MANY PEOPLE WERE INTERESTED IN IT, WE
THOUGHT WE'D CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ADVANCEMENTS IN SUN PROTECTION, SUN SCREEN, LASER TREATMENTS. I HOPE THAT ONE DAY NO ONE HAS TO GO THROUGH SURGERY TO GET RID OF SKIN CANCER. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR EYE ON OUR SKIN, OUR HANDS ON OUR SKIN AND NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL SPOTS AND IF THOSE SPOTS START TO CHANGE IMMEDIATELY GET CARE. >> Michael: GOOD MORNING SAM. >> Sam: WHEN I'M NOT BRINGING YOU THE WEATHER -- 13 INCHES OF RAIN BEFORE THE TROPICAL MOISTURE GETS THERE. I LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN BEING OUTSIDE. BUT
THESE DAYS I WOULDN'T THINK OF GOING OUTSIDE WITHOUT SUN SCREEN. IT WASN'T ALWAYS THE CASE. I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY WAY OF COUNTING HOW MANY TIMES I HAD BLISTERING SUN BURN. THAT WAS JUST THE STORY OF MY LIFE. I RECENTLY HAD TO STEP AWAY FROM THE STUDIO TO TREAT SOME SKIN CANCER. IT'S NOT MY FIRST BOUT WITH THE LIFE THREATENING DISEASE, BUT THIS TIME I GOT A BIOPSY ON A SPOT UNDER MY EYE WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A NODULAR CARCINOMA. WE CAME IN TO DO ONE PARTICULAR SPOT. >> SKIN CANCERS CAN GROW LIKE ICEBERGS.
SOMETIMES WE ONLY SEE THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG ON THE TOP OF THE SKIN. AS WE GO DOWN AND CUT THROUGH WE SEE IT GET WIDER OR DEEPER. >> Sam: TWO WEEKS AGO DR. ROSSI PERFORMED THE SURGERY TO REMOVE MY CANCER. >> MOST OF THE TECHNIQUE OF SURGERY, WHERE NOT ONLY DO WE CUT IT OUT, BUT WE LOOK AT IT UNDER THE MICROSCOPE IN REAL TIME WHILE YOU'RE WAITING. WE CAN TRACK THE MARGINS AND LOOK AT IT IN THE DEPTH BUT ALSO THE PERIPHERY. WE JUST WANT TO GET OUT THE CANCER. >> Sam: THE CANCER
LARGER AND DEEPER THAN I EXPECTED. I'M NOT GOING TO ENJOY HAVING A LONGER SCAN THAN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GOING TODAY. DR. ROSSI ALSO PERFORMED LASER TREATMENT USING A CO2 LASER TO REMOVE SOME OF THE DARK PRECANCEROUS SPOTS ON MY FACE. SOME OF THIS, ALL OF THIS BACK IN HERE, ALL OF THAT THERE. ALL OF THIS BACK HERE. >> AND THOSE ARE PRECANCERS THAT CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MORE SKIN CANCER SO WE WANT TO NIP THAT IN THE BUD. >> Sam: WHILE I CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME,
THESE DAYS WE KNOW MORE. I DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT PUTTING ON SUN SCREEN. >> IT'S GOOD TO GET INTO THE HABIT OF USING IT EVERY DAY. IT WILL BE HABITUAL AND THEN YOU WON FORGET. EVEN USING IT AS A CHILD. UV AS A CHILD CAN WREAK HAVOC LATER ON. >> Sam: SO, LISTEN. THE SCAR IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE SKIN CANCER'S THE PROBLEM. SO WE GOT RID OF THAT. THE NEXT PHASE WILL BE SCAR CARE. TRUST ME THERE'S A LOT OF ADVANCEMENT IN THAT. THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO HEAR THE
WORDS THAT YOU NEED SURGERY. >> Michael: YOU JUST GOT YOUR STITCHES OUT. HOW ARE YOU FEELING AND HEALING? >> Sam: TRULY JUST YESTERDAY WE GOT THEM OUT. THERE'S SOME SCABBING ALONG THE LINE SO I CAN'T PUT ANY MAKEUP OR DO ANY SCAR CARE ON THIS JUST YET. IT MAY BE WEEKS BEFORE THAT SCABBING ENDS. THERE ARE LOTS OF SCAR TREATMENT OPTIONS THAT I DISCUSSED WITH MY DOCTOR. I WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THEM. THERE'S LASER THERAPY. THAT'S GOING TO ADJUST THE COLOR FOR ANY REDNESS OR DARK SPOTS IN COLOR AND A SCAR. SILICONE PATCHES. MAKE
SURE YOU GET A NICE SMOOTH RESULT AND HEALING IN A SCAR. ALSO, LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME THEY TRUST BIO OILS. TRUST ME, MICHAEL. YOU KNOW ME. I'M GOING TO TRY ALL OF THESE THINGS. I'LL TELL YOU HOW THEY WORK. I'M GOING TO END UP LOOKING LIKE I'M 20 YEARS OLD BY THE TIME I'M DONE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Michael: HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT? LOT OF PEOPLE TALK ABOUT APPLYING SUN SCREEN. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TO APPLY. YOUR DOCTOR GAVE YOU A GOOD RULE OF THUMB. >> Sam: HE DID. REMEMBER WE
AVOID SUN SCREEN BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS GOOPY. WHEN YOU PUT IT ON, IT WAS JUST THIS HORRIBLE WHITE CAST. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT THE SUN SCREEN -- HOLD THE PROMPTER RIGHT THERE. I WANT TO READ THAT. NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE. MY FIRST WAS 26. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SKIN TONE, YOUR SKIN TYPE, YOUR SKIN COLOR. THEY'RE CUTTING SKIN CANCER OFF OF EVERYBODY. IT IS EVERYBODY'S ISSUE. MICRONIZED MINERALIZED SUN SCREENS MEAN YOU CAN PUT A LOT ON AND IT WILL DISAPPEAR INTO YOUR SKIN. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT DR. ROSSI
WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW TO APPLY IT. YOU REMEMBER THE GOOPY STUFF? HE SAYS THE TWO FINGER RULE. PUT THIS ON TWO FINGERS. THAT'S GENERALLY ENOUGH TO SPREAD INTO YOUR FACE, GET AROUND YOUR NECK. DO YOUR EARS. DON'T FORGET BACK OF YOUR EAR. GET YOUR SCALP LINE AND ALL THAT. LOOK AT THAT. LOOK HOW QUICKLY THAT AMOUNT JUST WENT RIGHT IN THERE. >> Michael: REMEMBER YOU GET OUT OF THE SWIMMING POOL, REAPPLY. >> Sam: REAPPLY, YEP YEP YEP, REAPPLY. HOW ABOUT IF WE LIGHTEN THIS UP? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER MOISTURIZED WHILE TALKING.

WHILE IT'S NO SECRET THIS IS THE DRIVERS' FAVORITE PLACE TO RACE, THE STAGE IS SET FOR A CRAZY SHOWDOWN HERE IN AUSTIN. >> Sam: I'M SO GLAD YOU DID THAT. THAT WAS FUN. HOG KILLIN TIME. ALL THE TIME.

WE TALKED TO ONE WOMAN ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE WITH IT. JOELLE OPSTAFF IS KNOWN FOR HER CAKES, ESPECIALLY THIS PINK ONE WHICH SHE SAYS SAVED HER LIFE. >> IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT CAKE I
WOULDN'T BE HERE. >> Rebecca: AS AN OWNER OF BUTTERFIELD MARKET, SHE HAD AN IDEA. A YEARLY BREAST CANCER AWARENESS CAKE. THE FIRST LAUNCHED IN 2020. >> I THOUGHT LET'S DO SOMETHING FUN AND RAISE AWARENESS. THE CAKE FIRST CAME OUT I WAS TALKING WITH MY FRIENDS AND I SAID, I'M LATE FOR A MAMMOGRAM. SHE WAS, TOO. SO WE MADE A DEAL TO GET MAMMOGRAMS. >> Rebecca: BUT LIFE AND CAKES GOT IN THE WAY. A COUPLE OF YEARS PASSED BEFORE SHE AND HER FRIEND FINALLY GOT AROUND TO GETTING THOSE MAMMOGRAMS. THAT'S WHEN SHE GOT A DIAGNOSIS OF
BREAST CANCER. >> WOW, I HAVE CANCER, WHICH WAS SHOCKING BECAUSE HERE WE ARE TRYING TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR IT. I NEVER EXPECTED THAT RESULT. >> Rebecca: SOMETHING ELSE SHE DIDN'T EXPECT. MICROMETS OR MICROMETASASIS WAS FOUND IN HER LYMPH NODE. >> MICROMET IS ANY CANCER CELL THAT MEASURES BETWEEN .2 AND 2MM IN SIZE. >> Rebecca: THEY ARE TOO SMALL TO BE SEEN IN THE MAMMOGRAM. THEY ARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE TIP OF A PENCIL AND ONLY DETECTIBLE UNDER A MICROSCOPE. FOR JOELLE, THEY DIDN'T AFFECT HER TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS. BUT NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY CHANCES WITH
HER HEALTH, SHE OPTED FOR A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY. SHE'S GRATEFUL THAT HER FAVORITE FOOD HELPED SAVE HER LIFE. >> IT HAS SO MUCH MORE MEANING THIS YEAR. I LOOK AT THIS CAKE AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS EAT IT. IT SAVED MY LIFE. GO GET YOUR MAMMOGRAM. IT'S EASY, SIMPLE AND CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. >> Rebecca: WE LOVE JOELLE SHARING HER STORY AN DELICIOUS CAKE. IT'S REALLY ABOUT TALKING. IT'S ABOUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. EARLY DETECTION IS KEY IN ALL OF THIS. THANK YOU TO JOELLE. COMING UP THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE FIRST NOVEL IN OUR GMA
YOUNG ADULT BOOK CLUB IS HERE. STAY WITH US. ♪ ♪ >> Whit: WELCOME BACK. OUR GMA BOOK CLUB IS EXPANDING. JOINING US IS SABAA TAHIR BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF OUR GMA YOUNG ADULT BOOK CLUB PICK "HEIR." SABAA, WELCOME. >> THANK YOU. >> Whit: GOOD MORNING TO YOU. >> GOOD MORNING. >> Whit: WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO HAVE THE FIRST GMA BOOK CLUB PICK FOR YOUNG ADULTS? >> IT'S INCREDIBLE. MY READERS ARE REALLY EXCITED, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN WITH ME FROM THE BEGINNING FOR MY FIRST SERIES. THIS WORLD THAT THEY LOVE IS NOW
GOING TO BE INTRODUCED TO A WIDER AUDIENCE. FANTASY FANS ARE GOING TO BE THRILLED. FANTASY USUALLY DOESN'T GET PICKED FOR BOOK CLUBS. IT IS A WONDERFUL FEELING. >> Whit: YOU MENTIONED YOUR FANS AND YOU MENTIONED "HEIR" AN EMBER IN THE ASHES. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS STORY? >> "HEIR" TAKES PLACE IN A WORLD INSPIRED BY ANCIENT ROME. THERE ARE THREE CHARACTERS WHOSE LIVES ARE INTERTWINED. THE FIRST IS AN ORPHAN OUT FOR VENGEANCE. THE NEXT AN OUTCAST VERY MUCH OUT FOR HERSELF. THE LAST IS CROWN PRINCE TRYING TO SAVE HIS EMPIRE. THEY ARE ALL
LINKED BY A MURDER WHO IS WREAKING HAVOC ON THE WORLD THEY LIVE IN. THIS IS A BOOK WITH MAGIC AND MAYHEM AND ROMANCE AND ALL THE THINGS THAT I LOVE TO READ. >> Whit: WE WERE TALKING EARLIER, YOU HAVE A 15-YEAR-OLD SON. HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN PROVIDING SOME IDEAS FOR THIS. WHAT WAS HIS ROLE IN THAT? >> HE LOVES FLIGHT. IT HAS A LOT OF FLIGHT IN IT. HE'S ALSO -- HE READ MY BOOKS WHEN HE WAS 13. I SAID YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO READ THESE. I WANTED HIM TO READ THEM. HE GOT VERY CURIOUS.
REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY. IT WORKED PERFECTLY WELL. AFTER HE STARTED I CAUGHT HIM 1 A.M. RIPPING THROUGH THE FOURTH BOOK WITH A FLASHLIGHT UNDER HIS BLANKET. IT WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY PARENTING LIFE. >> Whit: IT WORKED. ALL CAME TOGETHER. >> TOTALLY WORKED. >> Whit: I TALKED ABOUT YOUR FANS EARLIER. APPARENTLY THEY LIKE TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR NOVELS. APPARENTLY ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT'S VERY POPULAR, WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO YOUR CHARACTERS? HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM? >> THERE'S THE OBVIOUS REASON, WHICH IS THAT IT'S ENTERTAINING AND I LIKE TO DRINK
READER TEARS WITH MY COFFEE IN THE MORNING. BUT THERE'S ALSO A DEEPER REASON. AND THAT IS THAT I LOOK AT THE WORLD AROUND ME AND I AM OFTEN HURT AND TROUBLED BY WHAT I SEE HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD, PARTICULARLY INTERNATIONALLY. I FIND THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY, AS A SOCIETY, CONNECT WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING TO PEOPLE. I CREATE THESE CHARACTERS THAT YOU LOVE, THAT YOU ROOT FOR. AND THEN I HURT THEM. BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO HURT, TOO. I WANT YOU TO FEEL WHAT I FEEL. >> Whit: FEEL THAT PAIN. >> FEEL THE PAIN THAT I
FEEL WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD. TRY TO CONNECT WITH YOUR FELLOW HUMAN WHEREVER THEY MIGHT BE. IT IS ALSO REALLY ENTERTAINING. >> Whit: JUST FUN AT THE END OF THE DAY. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT BUT THERE'S ALREADY A SEQUEL IN THE WORKS? IS THAT RIGHT? >> THAT'S RIGHT. I'M WORKING ON A SEQUEL. TRYING TO WRITE A FAST AS POSSIBLE. YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS WILL NOT BE SAFE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. >> Whit: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. >> Whit: AGAIN, "HEIR" IS ON BOOK SHELVES RIGHT NOW. >>> TONIGHT.
>> David: COULD TWO OF THE MOST INFAMOUS KILLERS EVER SOON BE HEADED TOWARD FREEDOM? >> Debora: LYLE AND ERIK MENENDEZ MAKING NEW HEADLINES. >>> EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION ON THEM.
