The Shadow of You
Novel by Brenda Iovino
What would you do if the memories of a previous lover would not leave and that same lover frequented your bed, and, more importantly, this lover was from another lifetime? What if your desires would not allow you - to let him go?
Monica is a 40’ish divorcee raising her teenage daughter in New York City. She writes for a magazine and her life is ordinary in every way, but one. She has vivid memories and dreams of another life, another time, and another place. Her name is Flying Snow Goose and she is a member of the Dine tribe in northern New Mexico, in the 18th century.
After questioning her sanity, Monica decides it was something she read, or the vestige of some childhood fantasy. But, then, he arrived. His name is Hawk, a regal Indian brave, and the husband of Flying Snow Goose. Monica could see and feel him in ways she could not understand, much less explain to anyone else. Yes, he became her lover.
Trying to balance her present life with the invasion and intensity of her former life as Snow, Monica struggles to live as a contemporary woman in a reality that is not as simple as most of us are used to living. The veil has been pierced, and this modern day woman must discover whether she is the victim, or is blessed, by this strange revelation, this Native who happens to be in her Manhattan apartment now.
In both paperback and Kindle format. Book Cover Design by Mona Makela

Come Again
a play by Brenda Iovino
Playwright Brenda Iovino's play "Come Again" was presented by Metta Theatre in 2009 with great success.
AN AMERICAN PLAY – "Come Again" by Brenda Iovino is a dazzlingly complex construction using the Shakespearean 'play-within-a-play' convention to expose the hidden psyches of her characters -- and perhaps of the playwright herself. Written by Iovino in her twenties, the play reflects the intellectual acuity of that sharpest of all biological ages, as well as the psychological explorations that were one glittering facet of the cultural Renaissance of the 1970's in America. In that sense, "Come Again" is a quintessentially American play, destined for broader horizons. Sandra Russell -- winner of the H.J. Heinz International Poetry Prize - Author of Cafe Exile (Amazon.com or xLibris.com)

That Irish Thing
Full length play by Brenda Iovino
Mother and daughter clash over family secrets, which reveal a checkered past, including two wily ghosts they enlist to help search for the father the daughter never knew.
The gambit is filled with the pretense and naked truth that often masks the pain of old wounds, as the fearless four, along with grandma's ashes, make their way to the Emerald Isle to inform the unwitting progenitor of his long-lost love child.
"Faith and Begorrah!"
