When I first started finding out about today’s guest and his books, first thing that caught my eye was his name, rather pen name…
Davis Aujourd'hui remembering my French,
Aujourd'hui means “today, which in the case of
Davis is a good name. The author himself has gone through demons, and his book "
Putting the Pieces Together” is an anthology of a gay man's journey toward self-acceptance. It is a poignant and intimate book chronicling recovery from mental illness, sexual addiction, and alcohol. But what of Davis…today. His wonderful delve into the world of Holiness “
The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude” is a satire with a spiritual message.
Take a trip to the Have A Heart convent in Bucksnort, Wisconsin. There, you'll meet a nun you're not likely to forget -
Sister Mary Olga Fortitude.
Sister Mary Olga is an irreverent nun who has some unique spiritual views that differ from those of the Pope. She's a great believer of "to each, their own." She also loves her Marlboros and her bourbon. Just don't let the Reverend Mother in on her secret.
In Bucksnort, you'll meet a zany cast of all-too-human characters. There's a lot of secret-keeping going on here, but
Sister Mary Olga will be sure to deliver the goods in order to provide you with good and bad examples of holiness.
The Reverend Mother is a former prostitute. The convent's chef is a gay cowboy.
Priscilla Bunhead is the town busybody who opens some other closet doors. She, along with the other folks on Dinkledorf Drive, serves up examples of what not to do.
One thing's for sure. These characters will lighten your load and help you to not take life so seriously.
Get ready for non-stop laughs.
This first book has been followed up by “
Babes in Bucksnort”, where you meet t the Reverend Billy-
Bob Blunthead and his Born Again or Burn Forever Disciples for Jesus. There is as we learned a third book currently in the editing stage.
Davis told us during the show that he already has twelve books written and the ideas just keep flowing, so you know this series that will have you laughing out loud, will soon be filling people’s book shelves.
So listen to an interesting and hugely entertaining show as I spend thirty minutes sharing "
A Book and a Chat with Davis Aujourd'hui".
