I taught undergraduates religion and philosophy for 35 years before discovering what I came on Earth to do: write books about the meaning of life and beyond. With a Catholic background and a Ph.D. in theology from Fordham University, I was well equipped to do this but had been bogged down by the demands of a professorship. Once freed, the books began to flow, both research books and novels based on the research. My most popular book, The Afterlife Unveiled, describes the word beyond death in the words of those who are there. The Womanpriest, my latest book, a novel set in the future, tells the story of the first female pope and the radical changes she brings to the Catholic Church. It will offend strict traditionalists but reward progressiv
