MEET THE AUTHOR – KEVIN WADE

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet playwright, screenwriter, television writer and producer, Kevin Wade, who will join us to discuss Johnny Careless (January 28, 2025), his razor-sharp debut which introduces former NYPD Detective Jeep Mullane. Jeep is working as the chief of police in his hometown on the North Shore of Long Island when the body of childhood friend and scion of a wealthy family washes up. A novel that Carl Hiassen says, “combines grit and wit in a way that conjures Donald Westlake or Robert Parker in full stride.” His credits include the screenplays for Working Girl (seven Academy Award nominations), True Colors, Mr. Baseball, Junior, Meet Joe Black, and Maid in Manhattan. For television, he created the ABC television drama Cashmere Mafia and in 2010 joined the rookie CBS drama Blue Bloods as a writer and since 2014 has served as its showrunner, executive producer, and back-seat driver. Wade will discuss his novel, take questions and sign copies provided by On the Road Book Events
