Tyson Ramsey, handsome, arrogant, and king of the campus for his football prowess, has earned the title of The Golden Ram. Though rude to student reporter, Edie Billodeaux, in an interview, she can't help but feel a tiny bit of attraction. However, only long-legged beauties ride on his motorcycle, not short brunettes like her. Still, Edie is shocked when rumors of his drug use turn out to be true. He is kicked off his college team leaving him with no future in the game. Determined not to see talent wasted, she hounds him into entering rehab. What she doesn't foresee is her father, a legendary quarterback, taking Ty under his wing to prepare him for the NFL Draft. So much closeness, so much temptation to become involved with a man determined to turn his life around.

Rex Billodeaux has his life exactly where he wants it. He has returned to New Orleans to play quarterback for Sinners. Super Bowl prospects look good and so does Dre Ames, a young woman he has known since the age of seventeen but overlooked because she has a son she gave birth to as a teen. He is about to propose when the death of the team owner throws the Sinners into turmoil. The trophy wife, who inherits the team, hates football and the city society who snubbed her. She plans to sell the team out of state and will only reconsider if Rex agrees to do her every biding and break up with Dre. He takes one for the team and signs her agreement. Will he be able to save the Sinners and return to Dre? That is the question.

When Eddie Love took a 23andMe DNA test, he thought the results would tell him whether he had Irish or French or German roots. What he didn't realize is that he'd find out that the man who he thought was his father was not his father. Thus began a multi-year caper to find out not only who Eddie's real father was, but what happened (besides, you know, the obvious).Eventually, Eddie lassoed his friend Christina into helping him solve the mystery and document their journey. Their adventure took them deep into Orange, Texas, where elderly residents eventually came clean with secrets they'd been keeping for decades.Told through narrative, emails and interviews, "The Saint, The Sinner(s) and Eddie" is a quirky, true story about family, lies and friendships (plus a handful of dogs, countless bowls of gumbo, one pawnshop wedding and more half siblings than you can count).

Though widely lauded as one of the most creative and challenging forces in Irish theatre Frank McGuinness’s plays have often met with a tempestuous reception. This new work details the significance of key productions of his plays in the context of Ireland’s culture and society. Charting McGuinness’s development as a dramatist from The Factory Girls through to Gates of Gold it combines cultural, political and theatrical analysis to position McGuinness as the most significant Irish playwright of his generation. Textual analysis supports considerations of theatrical performance to show how visual art, stagecraft, sculpture and song are central to our understanding of McGuinness’s theatre. Drawing forth the range of sexual, familial and national identities found in McGuinness’s work this book shows the significance of symbols in theatre that often seeks to confuse the simplicities of absolutes in order to show the complexities of difference. Wide-ranging, theoretically astute and written in a lucid and engaging style, Celebrating Confusion will appeal to all readers who are interested in Irish Theatre and its intersection with the politics and culture of contemporary Ireland.

Tom Billodeaux, adopted son of a legendary Sinners quarterback, is making his mark as an outstanding kicker. When an opening occurs for a new punter, he is asked his opinion on the skills of Hall-of-Famer Andy Mortenson's grandchild, Alix Lindstrom. Not only is Alix a superb punter, she is also undeniably a tall, strong woman. For Tom, it's love the first time she removes her helmet, shakes out her blonde hair and gazes at him with her fjord-blue eyes. Alix regards herself as an overly big, clunky female jock who must prove her ability to every man on the team. For years, she has adored Tom from afar. Unfortunately, she isn’t very good at flirting or making her desires known. As Tom helps her integrate with the Sinners, her feelings grow. When Alix proves to be his equal in talent and gets roughed in a few plays, his mentoring and over-protectiveness prove his thoughts are in line with hers. But she doesn't want to be coddled. Can she establish her own identity between the goal posts while scoring touchdowns with him in private?
