The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude by Davis Aujourd'hui
Are you ready for a class in Advanced Holiness for people from all walks of life? Then, perhaps you're ready to 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.
The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude is a satire with a spiritual message, but there's a lot of hanky panky going on here. 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, one's own." She also loves her Marlboros and her bourbon. Just don't let the Reverend Mother in on her secret. The next class in Advanced Holiness may be canceled.
Here 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.Hilarious, laugh out loud, must read book!!

 If you love humor and satire then this is the book for you.

 I was put off a bit by the title and I am not real religious nor Catholic but I decided,

what the heck, I will give this book a chance as I like to discover new authors.

"The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude" is a book told in the viewpoint of 65 year

 old Sister Mary Olga Fortitude who resides at the Have a Heart Convent where she teaches

various religious classes. At each class she tells a story about a different resident of

Bucksnort Wisconsin. Also at this convent is Father Cowberries, a priest with a passion for

'the drink' and Mother Superior Carmen Burana, who was a prostitute in a former life..

Sister Mary Olgashares the Father's passion for drink, she also loves her cigarettes,

 but of course she tends to clash with the Mother.

A lot of the story tells us the ingenious ways she finds to slake her thirst for these vices ie.

the four hole outhouse and the crucifix. The descriptions of the townsfolk and their names,

Diddles Dinkledorf and Fartley Dinkledorf alone are enough to have you laughing.

Put all the zany characters and their foibles together makes for a hilarious story.

I found myself laughing out loud at most of the book.

You absolutely have to read this book if you enjoy in your face humor.

You don't have to be religious or Catholic to enjoy this book!!

I highly recommend it.

Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude," I have already completed nine other books in the series and I plan to keep them coming. The next books to be released will be "Babes in Bucksnort," followed by "Have A Heart."

I am a new author, yet I possess a rich life experience that has enabled me to draw from it in order to create a colorful canvas upon which to paint very human lives. I am a retired social worker, having worked for Adult Protective Services in New York State for nearly twenty years.

As will be the case with Sister Mary Olga in my third book, I am a recovering alcoholic. I also happen to be gay as are several of the endearing and humorous characters within my novels. I can speak from my own experience. I have possessed all of the foibles of my cast of characters who are naughty, nasty, and nice.

I have also written my autobiography which is about a gay man's spiritual journey toward recovery from multiple addictions and mental illness. The title of my autobiography is "King David" and I hope to have that published at some point in the near future.

I live in Upstate New York where I am currently sharing my life with my partner of nearly five years. We are both socially-minded and our spirituality is the most important ingredient which empowers us to maintain a happy and abundant life. We belong to a transdenominational church which embraces the sacred truths of all religions, especially the teachings of Jesus. This has been a natural outcome from my lifetime search for the meaning of God. It embraces my belief that all people are equally loved in God's eyes.

Thanks for the great review. Most of my reviews on Amazon.com have been five out of five stars. Be sure to look for the sequel and get them both at the same time to save on shipping. The sequel is entitled Babes in Bucksnort.

Glad you enjoyed my interview. Hadn't counted on it going off the topic, but always like to illumine people about sexual addiction. It is rampant in our society today. Please check out my reviews on Amazon.com for The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude and Babes in Bucksnort. I promise side-splitting laughs from beginning to end

Make no mistake about it, although I think the author is inflating some aspects of his life, his books sound like a lot of fun and besides, I want to support a fellow self-published author. I vote YES!

Hope you'll check out my books on Amazon.com. Great reviews for The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude and Babes in Bucksnort. As for inflating my escapades, I did not. Sex addiction took over my life for so many years and caused me a lot of pain. No fun. Best of luck with your books.
