Sam Cooper had just moved to Harper's Inlet when he met Tony. Tony's father owned a marina. Sam, Tony, and Tyler took scuba lessons together. Tony got them in for free. After they completed the course, the boys decided to try out their new skills in the real world...the ocean. The only problem was, no one had permission. While Tony's father was away on a buying trip, the boys took one of the rental sailboats out for their diving adventure. Everything went well until the biggest storm Tony had ever seen blew up from out of nowhere, and the boys found themselves stranded on Lost Island. But, if they thought the worst had happened, they were wrong. The boys discovered a secret hideout that was used by men in high powered speedboats. Sam and his friends knew the men were up to something, only they didn't know what. They had to find a way to stop them, but how? And, even if they did, the boys could never tell anyone about it. Join Sam Cooper, Tony, and Tyler on their scary scuba, ocean, island adventure.

Includes the 2012 Spur Award winning poem, "Tabula Rasa." Miller’s work stands out like a Thoroughbred in a pen full of ponies. His wry humor works the same way that Baxter Black’s does—it saves us from taking ourselves too seriously. — Gary Vorhes, former Editor-in-Chief Western Horseman magazine

Sam Cooper lives right near the ocean, on the Treasure Coast of Florida. All he’s heard about since he moved here are the fabulous treasures that have been found, and those still waiting to be discovered. Sam, Tony, and Tyler, are convinced that they will be the ones to dig up the next great find. They meet a crusty sea captain named Jack who’s fixing up an impossible looking old tub. What is Captain Jack’s mysterious secret? And what is he really planning to do with that boat?

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

My Mother's MadnessThe memory returns every January, blurred like rain on a cracked window.The ground around us shiftingas narratives were bent and tilted,Hades ascending.You left with himjust before the witching hour,silty loam and mud freezing solid for the winter.I summoned Lazarus for his official position on the matter,gummed pomegranate seedsand asked Orpheus for the handbookon calling back lost ones.This was no abduction, they cried,no death but your own.Nonetheless, every year my hands grow numb, turn intoclumsy birds fluttering againstour burial, a frantic clawingof fingers raked in dirt,stained beyond recognition.By dusk I curl up, rooted to the spot,and wait for summer,for a torrent of suns to unleash and wash me clean.
