Irish entertainer Kevin Hough looks back at his career. Whether it was chasing bluebottles around his father's shop or smashing crockery on the Sunday Night Play, donning the habit with Brendan Grace at the Gaiety Theatre or hitting the high notes on The Lyrics Board, recording behind bars at Mountjoy Prison or rounding up rabbits in Oklahoma!, riding a tank in the Lebanon or hanging from a helicopter over Dublin, his life has been high on energy and drama; it's been `S Wonderful!

If Jesus came to us today, who would he be? Louisiana in the first half of the twentieth century convulses between old and new, antebellum and modern. Zassy, a sharecropper coming to adulthood finds what she thinks is love with a traveling Bible salesman, but ends up with real love from a son she is sure is a blessing from God. Samson, master of a failing plantation, returns from war with dreams of a resurrected South, only to find his wife sinking into alcoholism from his abuse. The daughter born to them grows up to rebel against everything he stands for. And at the heart of the story, Frank Potter, Zassy's son, struggles through the web of greed and lust to find his way to the God who looms above the world like a judging father. The lines of all these lives weave together into the threads of love and service that form the tapestry of religion and asks us to find the Christ in all of us. Entrancing, altruistic and shocking, the Jesus of Miller's bayou is a gritty meditation on the changing times, and will haunt readers' memories long after others fade.

Hell is empty, and all the devils are here. There’s a fine line between heaven and hell, and Simon Duchane is trapped somewhere between. Six missionaries and a saved prostitute enter the jungles of South America to bring the word of the Lord to the savages. But a few bad words can make savages of anyone. And when heaven meets hell, and the sacred grows profane, Simon must somehow survive the unspeakable, and find the God who sentenced them all to damnation.

Seven Devils

The only God Simon Duchane knows is dead, murdered by those who believe they alone know Him. Devastated, Simon tucks his God's ashes into a box and wanders aimlessly—lost. Joining six missionaries intent on carrying the Good Word to the largest jungle on earth, Simon soon discovers there's a fine line between heaven and hell and he's trapped somewhere between. Docked for repairs near Devil's Island, Simon falls under the spell of a prostitute who wields her sexuality the way he intended to wield religion over her. How can he help her find God when even he doesn't know where He is, when the only one real to him is kept in a box? Soon, even the line between God and desire blurs. Can he redeem himself by saving her? But when heaven meets hell and the sacred grows profane, Simon must somehow survive the unthinkable to find the God who sentenced them all to damnation.

Losing Cotton is a story about transitions-young people in a young nation on the threshold of change. Nestled quietly in the desert, the small southern California farm town of Cotton has until now only heard the rumblings of change from a distance. The events of 1963, however, will forcefully drag America into a bold new epoch-and Cotton right along with it.

The snares of the world were its ways of sin. He would fall. Fallen is a collection of short fiction featuring stories of character, humor, military service, personal relationships and history in locales ranging from New York to L.A., from the Caribbean to the Far East and from the early 20th Century to the present day. Taken together, the stories in Fallen are slices of American life in the Hamlin Garland tradition but from a fully modern perspective and often on soil beyond our national borders.

After years of emceeing insipid singing competitions, TV personality Bryan Seafoam can't wait to host "American President," the world's first reality show to elect a country's Chief Executive. It’s the chance he’s waited a lifetime for—an opportunity to be a real journalist, unearthing skeletons and playing hardball with the top ten candidates. But it doesn't take long for the contestants to start digging up dirt of their own and throwing it back at him—literally, in the case of billionaire candidate Ronald Chump when he's challenged to dig his own moat along the Mexican border. To make matters worse, Bryan's producer pressures him to be nicer to the candidates, and his former crush, now an experienced political correspondent, shows up—and shows him up at every turn. When a cheating scandal rocks the show, Bryan suspects it's just the tip of a very underhanded iceberg. Will exposing the plot to wreck the most hysterical—er, historic—election of all time cost him everything? Or lead to an even bigger reward he never anticipated.

Back Then

Photographs deceive. They hide as much as they reveal.
Caroline Jantz listens to and reflects on the tales of five members of her family, stories that change the perceptions she has of them, but more profoundly, change her place with them in her life and in the stories they tell. These accounts center around recently-discovered family photographs, some from albums, some from dusty old attics, but all long forgotten. 
Caroline's Uncle Jesse is charming, cunning, and deceitful, and few can resist his allure until he loses control of his carefully-constructed life. Caroline's mother, Darlene, wants a family different from that of her parents but pays a price for it higher than most of us would ever want to pay. Caroline's brother Tim returns home after a life adrift but finds that the definition of home has taken a turn he and this family never expected. Her brother, Theodore, was born a child prodigy with an astonishing memory and an exceptional singing voice, but lives an unremarkable, unfulfilling life which, in the end, is not overlooked. Through conversations with his daughter, Vernon Jantz finds redemption and hope for a new life after losing his family through his mistakes.
Caroline and her family seek answers to simple, but profoundly challenging questions that have been asked since humans began living and speaking. "Who am I?" "What is family?" and "What am I living for?"

Product Description All families are caught in a whirlwind of change. Not one is now what it used to be.Life for the Jantz family has been predicated by the Mennonite church. But through a series of shifting circumstances, inside their church and in the world at large, each member of this family is ultimately confronted with the decision to remain a part of their religious community. Darlene, Vernon, and Caroline "Shike" Jantz's intensely personal journeys are observed and told through the voice of Shike-a contraction of Shy-Poke-as she comes of age during the 1940s and early '50s.In these engaging, interwoven stories, Shike experiences the slow disintegration of her parents' world.Even at four years, Shike is an intelligent child with keen observational skills, curiousity about her parents' beliefs, and an obsession with the meaning of words. She learns that the religious practices of her mother and father are in conflict with their social desires. Her mother reads her prohibited fairy tales, while her father teaches her about the world at large, including a war in which his pacifist beliefs do not allow him to participate. When her father receives his draft notice, he and her mother must decide whether they can still embrace their family's history and faith. About the Author Cly Boehs (pronounced Klī Bāz) was born and raised in Oklahoma and is interested in how identity and character are revealed through monologue and dialogue in fiction and theater. She has given many readings of her work in upstate New York at national conferences, and on local radio and television.

She makes up fiction, art, and life daily in the Finger Lakes, New York, where she lives in a house filled with books, magazines, and journals on every subject under the sun, files stuffed with papers, and a clock in every room. She tells herself it's because she's a Virgo.
