SITE NEWS: Idylls Press - Catholic Fiction -Catholic Film Reviews - Bardolatry

Pauline Cooperator and Idylls’ friend Rae Stabosz has a lovely blog on the new “Storytelling in the Catholic Imagination” sections of five major Pauline Books and Media Centers. (For store locations, see our previous post.)

We’ve been having some technical difficulties with our Idyllist blog, so can’t update it for a bit, but there are new posts and reviews on both Catholic Fiction and Catholic Movies Online—the latter on OSCAR present and past.
We are majorly rooting for the Coen Brothers’ masterpiece, No Country for Old Men, adapted from (Catholic writer) [...]

We’ve just added three new Christian author portraits to our Cafe Press page: John Keats, Joseph Conrad, and Oscar Wilde! You can have their familiar faces printed on t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, aprons, mousepads, journals, postcards, and (my personal favorite) a beer stein.

Idylls press (and Clan Murphy) is in the process of moving to beautiful Ashland, Oregon! We are very excited on many levels.
