Father and son team up-Author and Narrator -William J. Carl and son, David Carl

from Cover To Cover · host Mary E. Jackson

Father and son team up- Author and Narrator - William J. Carl, a Greek scholar, was a pastor and seminary professor then president for decades,living a life that served peace, faith, and society. He wrote 8 successful non-fiction books about religion, and traveled the world, lecturing at prestigious schools and being honored by his alma mater. But now he has left that behind to become an author of a suspenseful, action-packed,international thriller about a one-time CIA assassin who left his trade to become a minister –only to be called upon to return to his old life to uncover and stop a global terrorist plot. Assassin’s Manuscript has been hailed in scores of five-star Amazon and Goodreads book reviews as the next Dan Brown or Daniel Silva, two best-selling authors who know how to hold readers in suspense. One of the reasons the book has received these positive reactions is its attention to detail. For instance, he traveled to seven countries that are featured in the book to do research and observe the people, hoping to make it as realistic as possible. He went to Israel, Russia, Italy, Germany, Egypt, England, and Canada. He also needed to get in touch with what allows real-life hitmen to kill people. So, he ended up meeting and interviewing several assassins.  30 years after Alex Haley told Dr. Carl to write this book he has graced us with Assassins Manuscript. David Carl is an actor/writer/impressionist/solo-performer, known for solo shows like "David Carl's Celebrity One-Man Hamlet" (www.buseyhamlet.com) and "Trump Lear": two shows that he has taken to Edinburgh Fringe (Underbelly Cowgate and Pleasance Courtyard) and all over the United States including Chicago Shakespeare Theater with Michole Biancosino (frequent collaborator and friend).The New York Times called his Busey Hamlet a "deliciously deranged...head-spinning performance" and his Trump Lear "quite damning" and "a biting satire". TV Film Credits include: George Clooney’s The Tender Bar in a scene with Ben Afleck, and the recurring role of Teddy the Cue Card Guy on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon). Other credits include Mr Robot (USA), Divorce (HBO), Blue Bloods (CBS), and The Big Fib (Disney Plus). In addition to narrating Assassin's Manuscript by William J Carl (his Dad...proud son alert), David has also voiced multiple characters of other Audible projects such as The Coldest Case and Daniel X by James Patterson, and 10 Days, Yes We Mustard, and Supreme: The Battle for Roe. He has also voiced characters for two Marvel podcasts called Marvels and Wolverine Lost Trail.
