But then we had the idea to invite someone who is mainly a reader, who has read widely and doesn't necessarily have a personal message to deliver. Our first impulse was to invite one or more authors whose books are popular and get their views on how people have responded to their work. The world of self-publishing is a big tent, with a broad welcome mat - and we want to keep it that way. After all, we're not about preaching to anyone. When we first considered doing a show on the nonfiction book category of spirituality and metaphysics, we weren't sure how our audience would receive the topic. Gerald Everett Jones is the author of Preacher Finds a Corpse: An Evan Wycliff Mystery.Īnd, as ever, there's lots of advice on how to get published, including the support resources at our website.

How does mystery fiction differ from true crime? What is a police procedural? Do all mysteries fall into that category? Have you ever come across a story that you thought was too painful or too troubling to write? How does the training and skillset of a journalist inform the work of a mystery novelist?

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