This is the show where we meet Charlotte area authors and those who visit the Queen City and we hear them read their work. Author Landis Wade is a recovering trial lawyer who encourages authors to read and talk about their award-winning, published and emerging works, the kind of stories and poems that touch the emotions, followed by the kind of questions and answers that offer depth and insight into the readings. The show offers complete stories and poems, the kind that have a beginning, a middle and an end, as well as book excerpts, but not to worry, because good authors tend to skip “Once Upon a Time” and start closer to the middle, with that “Dark and Stormy Night.” The mic is open to multiple genres in multiple forms, including short stories, flash fiction, essay, memoir, humor, narrative non-fiction, long fiction and more.
