Rain and Other Stories

Rain and Other Stories is a book of eleven short stories about people in crisis. Stories like Rope and The Last Day are about educators who have reached crisis moments in their lives and must find some kind of resolution. A man wants to live forever in Immortal, and in The River and Snow Falling readers will find out how dangerous it is to betray the trust of the McKinley women. Rain tells the tale of a young boy abducted by a rebel army in Africa, and The Green Chain deals with the dangers of working in a sawmill in Northeastern Montana. All of these stories are about the pivotal moments of ordinary people, and their responses show us something about how we survive as human beings.

Medieval Welsh Monasteries examines the nature of monastic life in medieval times and seeks to explore what kind of place a monastery was and how the religious houses developed in Wales. It does this by a close examination of the main Welsh abbeys, abundantly illustrated, and of the documentary evidence provided by the Rule of St. Benedict, the Welsh chronicles and the foundation charters of individual houses. It also looks at the monasteries as property holders and their eventual fate in Tudor times.
