Marek Fuchs LIVE July 11th/ Hart D. Fisher returns July 18th!

Our 4th of July party with Hart D. Fisher has been nuked because producer Magic Matt Alan wisely decided to go play with his beloved daughter -- never allow great radio to come between you and your children. That's why I used to force my kids to sleep on the couch at KISS 101 so they could see their daddy play the hits on the morning show. We will drag Hart Fisher and his shy retiring wifey-poo to the lighten up lounge on July 18th.

NOW HEAR THIS!

"Marek Fuchs has written a penetrating portrayal of twisted lust, eager betrayal, a savage murder, and a small town's long memory. With the drama of a novel and the nuances of a seasoned reporter, he delivers a sober, blood-splashed narrative about justice delayed, but not denied."

- Ron Franscell, best selling author of The Darkest Night

If Ron Franscell praises this book, you KNOW it's good! We trust Ron, so we are THRILLED almost beyond human comprehension to have Marek Fuchs join us LIVE July 11th 2pm Pacific on TRUE CRIMES!

In 1959, Olathe, Kansas was made famous by the murder of the Clutter family and Truman Capote's ground-breaking book on the crime, In Cold Blood. But fewer know that Olathe achieved notoriety again in 1982, when a member of Olathe's growing Evangelical Christian population, a gentle man named David Harmon, was bludgeoned to death while sleeping--the force of the blows crushing his face beyond recognition.

Suspicion quickly fell on David's wife, Melinda, and his best friend, Mark, student body president of the local bible college. However, the long arms of the church defended the two and no charges were pressed. The case was declared as dead as David Harmon.

Two decades later, two Olathe policemen revived the cold case making startling revelations that reopened old wounds and chasms within the Olathe community--revelations that rocked not only Olathe, but also the two well-heeled towns in which Melinda and Mark resided. David's former wife and friend were now living separate, successful, law-abiding lives. Melinda lived in suburban Ohio, a devoted wife and mother of two. Mark had become a Harvard MBA, a high-paid corporate mover, a family man, and a respected community member in a wealthy suburb of New York City. Some twenty years after the brutal murders, each received the dreaded knock of justice on the door.

A Cold-blooded Business provides fascinating character studies of Melinda and Mark, killers who seemingly returned to normalcy after one blood-splattered night of violence. A fast-moving true crime narrative, A Cold-blooded Business is a chilling exploration into the darkest depths of the human psyche.

Marek Fuchs was a stockbroker for Shearson Lehman Brothers and a money manager before becoming a journalist who wrote The New York Times' "County Lines" column for six years. He also did back-up beat coverage of The New York Knicks for the paper's Sports section for two seasons and covered other professional and collegiate sports. He contributed frequently to many of the Times' other sections, including National, Metro, Escapes, Real Estate, Arts & Leisure, Travel, Money & Business, Circuits and the Op-Ed Page.

In addition, Fuchs writes and stars in "The Business Press Maven" video columns for TheStreet.com, on how business and finance are covered by the media. The videos are syndicated on Yahoo! Finance, where they are regularly the portal’s featured video. For his work on that column, he was named the nation's best critic of business journalism by the University of North Carolina's School of Journalism and Mass Communication. He was also nominated as best online business columnist by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. Fuchs was formerly editor-in-chief of Fertilemind.net, a financial website twice named "Best of the Web" by Forbes Magazine. His book A Cold-Blooded Business, (Skyhorse, distributed by W.W. Norton), based on a murder story he covered for The New York Times, was a Top 10 seller in the Murder book category on Amazon.com, and was called “riveting” by Kirkus Reviews. He also wrote a chapter for a book, Over the Hill and Between the Sheets (Springboard Press, a Warner Book). Fuchs speaks regularly on business and journalism issues at venues ranging from annual meetings of the Society of American Business Editors and Writer to National Public Radio. He teaches journalism at Manhattan College in New York City.

Fuchs, who lives in a loud house with three children, is a volunteer firefighter. The highlight of his life prior to July 11th was being on Mickey Sherman's show. The highlight of Mickey's career was being on our show! This will be FUN.
