In this episode 164 in the spirit of the holiday season, host Landis Wade, award-winning author of The Christmas Courtroom Trilogy, visits with narrator Bill A. Jones about the making of the audiobooks for this collection where belief in Christmas is on trial and time is running out.
The Christmas Heist is a “script somewhere between the screenplays for My Cousin Vinny and Miracle on 34th Street,” says the former Dean of Wake Forest University School of Law “and that’s a wonderful place to be.” It’s the first cozy holiday mystery in The Christmas Courtroom Trilogy, narrated by Bill A. Jones, best known as an actor for his humorous role as news anchor “Rod Remington” on Fox TV’s Glee. Bill A. Jones also has appeared on Comedy Central’s Workaholics, The King Of Queens, CSI New York, Everybody Hates Chris, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, and many other shows, has done voiceover work for such clients as The Disney Channel, Warner Brothers, and The Fox Movie Channel, and was named one of LA’s Best Concert/Cabaret Artists.
Bill’s voice brings to life this clever but heart-warming collection of stories crafted by a career trial lawyer who wondered how difficult it could be–really?–to defend a man who claims to work for Santa Claus. Book 3 in the trilogy, The Christmas Redemption, won the 2018 Holiday category of the 12th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards and was the 2018 Holiday category Honorable Mention in the 10th Annual Readers’ Favorite Awards.
We start the show with an audio clip from the first book and during the course of the show, we play clips from the second and third books in the collection.
