"The company is a commedia dell'arte group who wander by mistake into the eye of an allegory. They are humanity, wayward saints all, who are far from home and without means. A nobleman may be their salvation if they can put on a good show for him. Surprisingly, the Company chooses to present the history of man, from the Garden of Eden through Everyman in birth, adolescence, marriage and death. Along the way they enact other wayward adventures such as the assassination of Julius Caesar and the homecoming of Odysseus. It is a fine mosaic of life redeemed by humor and human understanding."--Back cover.

A story that includes spiritualist seances, conspiracy, and an important church trial, Wayward Saints chronicles the 1870s challenge of a group of British Mormon intellectuals to Brigham Young's leadership and authority. William S. Godbe and his associates revolted because they disliked Young's authoritarian community and resented what they perceived as the church's intrusion into matters of personal choice. Expelled from the church, they established the New Movement, which eventually faltered. Both a study in intellectual history and an investigation of religious dissent, Wayward Saints explores nineteenth-century American spiritualism as well as the ideas and institutional structure of first- and second-generation Mormonism.

From a folk-rock legend comes a tender, comic story of family, music, and second chances. Mary Saint, the rule-breaking, troubled former lead singer of the almost-famous band Sliced Ham, has pretty much given up on music after the trauma of her band member and lover Garbagio's death seven years earlier. Instead, with the help of her best friend, Thaddeus, she is trying to piece her life together while making mochaccinos in San Francisco. Meanwhile, back in her hometown of Swallow, New York, her mother, Jean Saint, struggles with her own ghosts. When Mary is invited to give a concert at her old high school, Jean is thrilled, though she's worried about what Father Benedict and her neighbors will think of songs such as "Sewer Flower" and "You're a Pig." But she soon realizes that there are going to be bigger problems when the whole town -- including a discouraged teacher and a baker who's anything but sweet -- gets in on the act. Filled with characters that are wild and original, yet still familiar and warm -- plus plenty of great insider winks at the music industry -- Wayward Saints is a touching and hilarious look at confronting your past and going home again.

A charismatic priest suddenly appears in Rome and claims to be both holy man and a master of black arts. He conducts "summonings" in the old Roman Coliseum where thousands of demons appear and call for the deaths of certain cardinals and eventually the Pope, Alexander VI-all are realized within days. With help from forbidden books in monastery libraries, and the undercover investigations of street urchins known as Vavias, Leonardo uncovers the tricks used to create the demon illusions. At the request of Cesare Borgia and Cardinal della Rovere, Leonardo challenges the priest to a battle of magic, which exposes the tricks. The outcome puts Leonardo in danger of being entombed alive.

Download Little Rome, Iowa Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Set in a mythical small town in Iowa - but rooted in stories and experiences of the author while a professor at Clarke College in Dubuque - these three one-act plays were first published by Samuel French as individual pieces. Now the author has reworked them and added a prologue and epilogue to bind the three into one play that paints a portrait of small-town America that is at once both unique and universal. "Brighten The Corner" tells of the people and places surrounding the death of an old nun at the motherhouse of her order. "A Simple Little Affair" deals with the complex and often comic relationships and the affirmation of faith that is at the heart of every wedding. "An Echo of Wings" calls upon the dead victims of a parochial school fire that claimed the lives of over 90 students and their teachers in an effort to discern a purpose or a meaning behind such a tragedy. Little Rome, Iowa is written in the style of the author's prize-winning play, "A Company of Wayward Saints", a form he calls "phrasing" and which is intended as a guide to the delivery of the actors.
