Publications
Wolfe is the author of four published books and many articles.
Books
In 2016, Wolfe penned his first book, You Can't Die: A Day of Clarity. The book details his 25-year battle with alcoholism. In this 300-page book, John has detailed the issues addicts experience.
In 2018, he wrote his second book, The Funny Thing About Being Sober, a humorous account of his first year of sobriety. In between punchlines and funny anecdotes, Wolfe reveals that he suffers from a mental illness.
In 2019, he wrote his third book and the first work of fiction, The Dead Man's King. The book tells the story of 59 homeless men who establish their own city, Misfit City, in a portion of New York's Central Park. The book also includes the theme of alcoholism and government's failure in supporting addicts.
In 2020, he completed his fourth book, A Little Uprising: The Muskrat Rebellion, which ominously portends civil unrest in New York State. Completed weeks before the worldwide pandemic, the book predicts the resignation of the disgraced fictitious character—Governor. Eighteen months later, after A Little Uprising was released, the New York's real Governor, Andrew Cuomo, resigned in disgrace.
Since Wolfe has suffered from alcoholism, his major topic of interest revolved around alcoholism in one or the other form. Three of his books discuss the theme of alcoholism and alcoholics.
Articles
Wolfe has published many articles in The New York Times, the Times of Israel, Albany Times-Union, and other daily newspapers in New York State.

Personal life
On February 3, 2004, Wolfe suffered a near-fatal overdose on the prescription drug Klonopin. It was ruled a suicide attempt, and Wolfe was mandated to a psych center for a month.
After a month-long hospitalization, he volunteered to take a raise and move off the Governor's floor to an office at SUNY Board of Trustees at the position of Chief Writer and Associate Vice Chancellor for the State University of New York, since the Governor was not sure what to do with Wolfe.
However, he started drinking again and spent the next intervening decade in and out of rehabilitation and psychiatric facilities. He has detailed it in his first book.<ref name=sober/>
Later that year, following a divorce, Wolfe moved to the family's lake house on Loon Lake in Chestertown, New York.
