Director's cut This edition of Five Golden Rings and a Diamond, dedicated to Keith Martin Rafferty, the author's dear brother, is spiced up with more emotional and subtle sexual encounters by our protagonist, Niamh Murphy, a tinker who is despised by her own tribe, forced to commit crimes to survive, and to succumb to love in order to gain sustenance for her children. At sixteen, romance and love are sweet, snatched away and replaced by lust, abuse and a life of subjugation. Lust tracks her down in Ireland, on the Atlantic Ocean and in Australia, but can this ever replace the fantasy love she has experienced early? Niamh, strong willed, somewhat level headed, fights to keep her children and her job as a nanny in a Sugarcane farm; finding passion, lust and love with Luigi, this seems like her new fantasy life. Tragedy strikes and life deals a deadly card... can love still find her broken heart and take her into a zone reserved for those who are willing to take a risk and give more than they receive...

"Joyfully riffing on a holiday classic, Tom Averill's A Carol Dickens Christmas is a moving and contemporary tale that, like the work of that other Dickens, focuses on what affects us deeply: judgment and compassion, grief and hope, cruelty and kindness. With a warm and realistic cast of characters, this is a story for people who believe in the magic of the season and--more to the point--in simply caring for each other."--Laura Moriarty, author of The Chaperone

Drawing upon his extraordinary life growing up in Italy, studying the classics at St. Louis University in Naples, and becoming ordained as a Vocationist priest, Fr. Virgil Furfaro shares his innermost thoughts and emotions in this stirring collection of poetry, A Tormented Soul. Furfaro is a true renaissance man—a "consummate doer, thinker, and dreamer" as described by one of his parishioners—and with his poetry proposes a return to the classical ideals, ones that will lead the sterile modern age back to the great values and legends of the past. With his nostalgic look toward the ancient world, Furfaro proposes that yesterday's poetry become today's reality. Of his poetry, Furfaro writes that it "is born from combining the fertile moments of my mind with a psychological, physical, and spiritual anguish that has characterized and tormented me for most of my life." This statement is personified within such poems as "A Cross to See" which explores not only this holiest of Christian symbols, but Furfaro's own tribulations and "Disenchantment," a haunting verse that reveals the deceptiveness of nature. At once powerful in scope, yet elegant in its simplicity, A Tormented Soul reaches to the very essence of our souls, plucks the strings of our hearts, and sets us upon the path to enlightenment.
