YouTube video of interview: Jacob and the Mandolin Adventure

I’m pleased to share the YouTube interview that Ellin Bessner did with me and Dave Fleishman about Jacob and the Mandolin Adventure. It was a delight to discuss how I researched and wrote this historical novel as well as the “back story” about Morris Saxe. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqm8Dpz7q8E

I hope you’ll enjoy watching this video. Please tell friends and colleagues who might be interested.
