Phil Adamo is a former circus clown turned medieval history prof turned novelist—a professional background that engenders a love of irony.
He taught medieval history for two decades at Augsburg College, where he was named Minnesota Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
He has written both academic and popular books and articles about the Middle Ages, The Medieval Church: A Brief History (2013); and New Monks in Old Habits (2014). He also studied fiction writing with acclaimed authors Eugene Mirabelli and Eugene K, Garber.
He is currently on perpetual tour, traveling the lower 48 United States in a fully-outfitted Ram 3500 Promaster camper van, with his precocious border collie, Saga.
