Kevin Wade
With me today on Writers at Work is Kevin Wade, best known for his work on the police drama Blue Bloods, where he served as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. The show ran for 14 seasons on CBS. Prior to that, Kevin wrote or co-wrote such feature films as Working Girl, Mr. Baseball, Meet Joe Black, and Maid in Manhattan, and polished the script for the James Bond film GoldenEye, among others. His play Key Exchange was produced off Broadway back in 1981. He's been honing his craft for a good long while. In 2025, Kevin published his first novel, JOHNNY CARELESS, featuring Jeep Mullane, police chief in Bayville, Long Island, who was once an NYPD detective. When the body of a childhood friend washes up on a beach, blue collar Mullane does battle with the victim's wealthy family and the man's ex-wife while he works the case. It's a gritty tale that calls to mind the great cop-out-of-water tales that raised high the bar for crime fiction. Kevin's JOHNNY CARELESS was nominated for a Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best First Novel. Another Jeep Mullane novel, ONE GOOD EYE, arrives in August. What happens when a screenwriter and playwright decides to try his hand at writing a novel? How must he adapt to meet the readers rather than the viewers' needs? Who better than Kevin Wade to tell us.

Gayle Feldman
With me today on Writers at Work is Gayle Feldman, author of NOTHING RANDOM: BENNETT CERF AND THE PUBLISHING HOUSE HE BUILT. There was a time when Cerf, co-founder of Random House, was a household name in America. In a massive and meticulously researched biography, and thoroughly enjoyable, I should add, Gail tells us how he came to be that and more. In doing so, she also tells us how publishing prospered in Cerf's time when books were at the center of American cultural life. Gail is the perfect writer for the task. She's written for Publishers Weekly for some 40 years, including serving as a senior staff editor, and is now the US correspondent for The Bookseller, the British magazine that covers the book business. Her journalism has appeared in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, the LA Times, The Times of London, and The Nation, and more. Across its 1,000-plus pages, Gail puts us in close contact with James Joyce, William Faulkner, Gertrude Stein, Eugene O'Neill, Truman Capote, James Baldwin, Ezra Pound, Sinclair Lewis, John O'Hara, Philip Roth…you get the picture. Not as celebrities, but as writers dealing with getting their distinctive books to the public in the best way possible. Thus, for all the luminaries in NOTHING RANDOM, none shine brighter on the page than Bennett Cerf. Was he actually all that? Let's find out.

Allegra Goodman
With me today on Writers at Work is Allegra Goodman, whose latest two books reveal the range of her abilities as a novelist and author of short fiction. Published in 2025, ISOLA, is a masterful work of historical fiction based on the true story of Marguerite de La Rocque, a sixteenth-century French woman who, abandoned on a remote island to end a forbidden romance, fights to reclaim her life. It was named the best book of the year by Time, The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, The Globe and Mail, and on and on. Allegra's latest, THIS IS NOT ABOUT US, is a collection of linked short fiction published between 2011 and 2024, mostly in The New Yorker, that tell of a fractured family struggling to find footing following the death of a charismatic sister. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Hawaii, Allegra Goodman earned her undergraduate degree at Harvard and her PhD in English Lit at Stanford. Established as a gifted short story writer, her debut novel, KAATERSKILL FALLS, was published in 1998 and was a finalist for the National Book Award. Now, I must stop here to tell you that KAATERSKILL FALLS is one of my favorite novels. A tale set in an Orthodox Jewish community in upstate New York in 1976, it exists in my mind as a lived experience that I had been there along with her characters in the world she depicted. I tell you sincerely that every now and then, a scene or a moment within a scene will flash in my mind as vividly as if it had happened in my presence.
