Host Gerald Everett Jones and his co-hosts Cheyenne Cockrell and Thomas Page discuss “Mystery and True Crime” with special guest author Marvin J. Wolf. Wolf is the author of the Rabbi Ben mysteries: For Whom the Shofar Blows, A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn, and the forthcoming A Tale of Two Rabbis. Marv responds to our questions, including:

1. How does mystery fiction differ from true crime?
2. What is a police procedural? Do all mysteries fall into that category?
3. Have you ever come across a story that you thought was too painful or too troubling to write?
4. How does the training and skillset of a journalist inform the work of a mystery novelist?
5. Is it a truism that social media is killing journalism these days?
6. A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn is full of Judaic scholarship. Did you just absorb all that detail over the years, or was it a research project in itself?

And, as ever, there's lots of advice on how to get published, including the support resources at our website getpublishedradio.com.

We don’t know whether it’s a retro response to today’s media, but there seems to be a lot of interest in books that get made one at a time. We’ll hear from Jacob Samuel, a fine-arts publisher whose limited-edition books are so carefully crafted they’re considered museum pieces even when they’re new. And we also welcome David Drum, a journalist, novelist, and poet who makes and sells his own hand-crafted editions. 

What IS a handmade book? Are there different types? How did you come to do them, and how do you market them?
