A Christmas Movie

Maddie Sharp returns from the big city to her small home town for Christmas only to discover that the holidays are going to be far from merry. First there's the issue of local bigwig Mel Pinchbeck III's plan to redevelop the high street. Then there's the interesting question of what to do about Wally Bookbinder, who has somewhat blossomed since he was the school nerd. And finally there's the not inconsiderable problem of the con artist who has talked the town into making a Christmas Movie.

A Christmas Movie is just one in a series of Christmas stories. Merry and magical stories that take Christmas seriously (or as seriously as it should be taken, which is both not at all and entirely too much). They are originally put out as a podcast, 24 episodes of a new Christmas story for adults read aloud every December - an audiobook advent calendar.

There are already many different stories. There's the fairy tale Last Christmas in Hexwood, the cosy tale of The Apartment Store, the madcap murder mystery of Deadvent Calendar, the weird experiences of Mr Benedict Nail among The Ghosts of Christmas Presents.
