Author and Registered Dietitian Camille Martin Speaks to Women in "Love to Lose" on Charlotte Readers Podcast

In this Under the Covers episode, we visit with Camille Martin, author of “Love to Lose: Love Your Life and Watch the Weight Lose Itself.”

Camille Martin says that women “waste their lives dieting, which is tragic because diets don’t ever work,” and that “they wait until they lose weight to really live.” Her book posits that “if you reverse the equation and live enthusiastically by setting and achieving more meaningful goals, the weight will lose itself.”

One endorser said that prior to her retirement as a psychotherapist, she had read many self-help, weight management, and motivational/inspirational books and she wished she’d had this book as part of her counseling practice, because it “is chock full of everything that is right with starting and staying on the journey to remain physically, nutritionally, and most importantly, emotionally healthy.”

Audiobook Narrator Bill A. Jones and Author Landis Wade Explore The Making of the Christmas Courtroom Trilogy Audiobooks on Charlotte Readers Podcast

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.

Author Jordan O’Donnell's "Zoon Garden" Is Political Allegory and Social Critique in the Vein of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" on Charlotte Readers Podcast

In this Under the Covers episode, we visit with Jordan O’Donnell, author of “Zoon Garden,” a political allegory and social critique of the human experience in the spirit of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”

In “Zoon Garden,” when the mysterious zookeeper of Clarendon Zoo grants his animals freedom to govern themselves, the creatures create a new land founded upon life, liberty, and happiness for all animals. Though the land seems to function well, each species soon realizes they have differing visions for how the land should be governed.

With the help of Eagle and Owl's propaganda, the traditional wolves and the progressive sheep quickly emerge as leaders. The two species fight to spread their contradictory visions, pitting the animals against one another, and inadvertently throw the zoo into chaos. Screeching pigeons flood the sky as animals make their opinions known, fact becomes fiction, fiction becomes fact, truth becomes impossible to discern. The wolves and sheep slowly destroy the very land they claim to lead.

Poets Christopher Davis And Allison Hutchcraft Bring Lives and Nature to the Page in “Oath” and “Swale” on Charlotte Readers Podcast

In today’s episode, we meet award-winning Charlotte poets Christopher Davis and Allison Hutchcraft, authors of the poetry books, “Oath,” published by Main Street Rag and “Swale,” published by New Issues Press with Western Michigan University. Chris and Allison both teach at University of North Carolina, Charlotte.

David Trinidad says “there is a sharp, steel-like edge to the lines in Christopher Davis’s poems-so finely wrought are they, and attuned to ‘the brutality of fact,’ the limits of human interaction.”

Paisley Rekdal says “Hutchcraft examines the delicate balance between rapture and ravishment, in poems as ambitious as they are beautiful.”

We start the show with Chris reading his poem “Examine Her Life” and Allison reading her poem “I have written myself into a Tropical Glow.”
