My BOOK LIST - PUBLISHED WORKS

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The various spiritual classics of
Fr. Marin de Boylesve, S.J. (1813-1892)
How this project started: I recently discovered one of the few books by this French priest that was translated into English: "Little Month of Saint Joseph" and found such unique spiritual insights so simply expressed in this devotional booklet I had to publish it.
Looking into his life, he was an amazing priest, one true Traditional Jesuit, the kind that gave fiery sermons and cared about the salvation of souls and the glory of God. He is still known in French circles for helping to spread devotion to the Sacred Heart and thereby supported the construction of the Sacre Coeur basilica in Paris.
I also found out he was from the Vendeé, that blessed region of France that resisted the Masonic French Revolutionaries. The people of Brittany and the Vendeé areas supported the Catholic King and gave their lives for the Faith despite the horrific persecution from the Revolutionary soldiers. The Vendeans suffered in brutal, genocidal ways, arguably, the likes of which would not be seen in Europe until Hitler and his concentration camps.
Patriotic to the core, this courageous Catholic zeal of the Vendeé and the spirit of St. Ignatius is ever present in Fr. de Boylesve's books. Someone told me you would never know they were written in the 19th century, they sound as if they were written for our dark times today when we need such spiritual encouragement, and it is true. I had to see if there were other books, and yes, quite a few that were never translated into English, which is now my latest project!

LITTLE MONTH
of SAINT JOSEPH
By Fr. Marin de Boylesve, S.J. (1813-1892)
My own works and other book projects:
Creative and impetuous, Katherine Walsingham has
simple but grand plans after she receives her Masters degree
in art--to
defiantly strive
for the highest ideals in her work contrary to modernist
trends, and, like many artists, to open
her own gallery, right in the heart of fashionable Manhattan,
never
suspecting the successes and triumphs, bumps and trials that
will head
her way. Consumed with her career goals and not prepared to
settle down just yet, she discovers life and love have a
strange way
of turning all her best laid plans topsy-turvy with
bittersweet
consequences, especially when she has caught the eye of New
York's most eligible bachelor whose family has a dark and disturbing
past.

Handel's Path to Covent Garden
(Batalha Publishers, August 2010)
Many Classical music lovers are familiar
with the composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) for his
famous “Messiah” oratorio, but are not aware his preferred
area of composition was Italian opera seria.
Biographical books explore his career as an opera composer and
the rise of the new pious genre when Italian opera was no longer
popular in London, but rarely do we find detailed accounts or
discussions of that strange period in the 1730s when this shift
in popularity forced Handel to leave the Haymarket theatre and
join with John Rich at Covent Garden where he tried to carry on
the Royal Academy opera company in competition with the new Opera of the
Nobility venture founded by the Prince of Wales before he was
finally forced to abandon opera in favour of the oratorio. This
book explores this rocky transition period and how it affected
Handel’s work, namely, his addition of French elements into
his operas and other novel innovations in order to regain his
chagrined public. There are discussions exploring the
possibility Handel was his own worse enemy with regards to his
business decisions as impresario-composer, alienating the
Italians of London and his public, which nearly cost him his
career. A fascinating study for Handel admirers.
