For me and for many people in the Western world, the God of Christianity has been portrayed as an old man in the sky with a stick waiting to punish those who enjoy life. The idea we've been given of holiness is a lifestyle of repression and self-denial in the hopes that one day we can get wings, site on the clouds and sing songs for all eternity about a God that we're secretly terrified of. But what if that's because Christianity has lost its way? What if holiness is actually about wholeness?

Sylvia's Secret is a fast-paced psychological murder mystery set mostly in London and Devon during mid-December.  Based on several years of research, this fictional work weaves historical information into a dark and intriguing plot that explores Sylvia Plath's struggle with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as well as the actual circumstances of her death.  The research has unearthed a little-known fact about Plath that, when revealed, may provide answers not just for those interested in the tragic author of The Bell Jar, but also for anyone who suffers with depression and mental illness.  Rated PG14 for some strong language, light sensuality, and adult themes.  "Scott Evans knows all about the collisions between the literary, commercial, and academic worlds and he blends them seamlessly in this intriguing tale of trust, betrayal, and redemption." - John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author known for his series of legal and crime thrillers featuring the characters Dismas Hardy, Abe Glitsky and Wyatt Hunt.   "Nothing is ever as it seems and mental aberrations are sometimes mirrors across time. This is a fine continuation of the Joe Conrad saga, and it will confuse and delight." - David Lloyd Sutton, reviewer for the Sacramento and SF Book Reviews
