In lyrical prose that embodies the fragmented form, Saint Dymphna's Playbook mixes with hybrid verse, poetry, and lyrical essay detailing a ferocious and unapologetic viewpoint of how a woman's body is seen and governed in a world determined to control and dominate. Themes of suicide, sexual assault, and the male gaze-even in the professional world of being a private investigator, a child, a mother, a lover-each piece pulling from experiences hard to confront. In this playbook of survival, Leftwich allows the reader to bear witness, handing the reader a gift of vulnerability and what it means to be alive in a society where women vanish in more ways than one.

About the book "Saints and Sinners" A religious man educated by the Jesuits, Larry Henares is fascinated by the God of men and the men of God, and with a wit and wisdom that passeth all understanding, posits how shit drove men to populate the earth and enlarge their brains. With incisive humor, he narrates how religious conflicts started with the Father Principle espoused by the Jews, Christians and Muslims and how Our Lady is bringing the world back to the tolerance and understanding of the Mother-based religions of ancient times. He writes of the Donation of Constantine, the greatest forgery ever perpetrated in history, by the Popes no less, lasting 1,400 years and promoting the dominance of the Catholic faith, how Spanish Dominicans deliberately manufactured saints in the Philippines including eight Asian saints and one Filipino saint, Lorenzo Ruiz. Then there are the hilarious accounts of the two Hounds of Heaven, Jesuit Father Kinik Bernas and Opus Dei numerary Bernie Villegas. Then Henares turns serious and writes of the Liberation Theology document called The Road to Damascus - which for the first time celebrates a church that stands for the poor and the oppressed. There are a couple of articles about the mysterious Opus Dei, one written by Henares with the assistance of a higher-up Opus Dei supernumerary, the other a series written by the prot g of Henares, a former Opus Dei priest who was number 6 in the local hierarchy of the Spanish dominated religious order, and is now Henares' executive assistant in Malaca ang, and producer of his television show, Make My Day Live.------ ooooo------ FOREWORD by Monsignor Nico Bautista Parish Priest, St. Maria Gorretti Parish Pius XII Catholic Center, Manila I am a Catholic priest. I met Hilarion M. Henares Jr., or Larry for short, in the days before the EDSA Revolution, when I was pastor of the St. Alphonsus Mary de Ligouri Church in the Magallanes Village. His parents and sister were my parishioners. I once delivered a stinging homily about the need for a consciencitized citizenry to counter the oppressiveness of the mighty and powerful. And lo and behold, the First Lady, Imelda Romualdez Marcos, came for mass the following Sunday. So did Larry Henares, and that is how I met him. He was even then an iconoclast who wrote thinly disguised attacks on the economic policies of Marcos and the IMF in the Bulletin Today, Business Day, and the Marcos crony press, and poking fun at the powers-that-be in the Mr&Ms Special Edition, the oppositionist press at the time. I am a bit of an iconoclast myself, in the same way Larry Henares is a bit of a priest. I say that because like every Jesuit-trained Atenean, Larry at one time wanted to enter the priesthood, inspired by the adventures of St. Francis Xavier in India and Japan, Edmund Campion in Elizabethan England, Matteo Ricci in China, Isaac Jogues and Jean de Brebeuf in Quebec. His Jesuit mentors incredulously observed, "Do you really think, Larry, that the life of a priest is like those of Tarzan and Superman?" and ended Larry's priestly vocation right then and there. --------------(more inside)-----------

As the galaxy spirals into open warfare, Tyler Stone has joined forces with his former enemies, the Terillians. Stone now knows the new war has been manufactured by the First Families to satisfy the Xen Empire's demand for more slaves--a move necessitated by the spread of a deadly virus that is killing off huge portions of their human chattel. Complicating matters is the Saint, a con-man turned messiah who begins to unite the planets under his brand of religion--one that creates fanatical followers.
