WVBR News Director Jack Donnellan sat down with author, editor, and publisher Mark Wish. Mark and his wife recently founded an annual short story anthology, Coolest American Stories, which pushes its contributors to make their fiction as compelling as possible, reminding them that readers crave “unputdownable” storytelling. Mark’s latest book, which will be released in January 2024, is Necessary Deeds, published by Regal House Titles. We hear an excerpt from the novel, in which Matt Connell, a former literary agent who’s been in prison for four years for a crime of passion—homicide by strangulation after learning his wife slept with a friend—receives an early release to join an FBI undercover investigation of multiple murders in Manhattan.
