Latayne C. Scott writes controversial books. For instance, the critically acclaimed A Conspiracy of Breath (a finalist in the International Book Awards), is based on the scholarly theory that a woman wrote part of the Bible. She has won other awards for her writing, including from Pepperdine University, its "Distinguished Service Award." Her first book, The Mormon Mirage--also controversial-- has stayed in print almost continuously for over 40 years. She has more than two dozen other published books. Co-authoring with psychologist Dr. Beth Robinson, she's written Talking with Teens about Sexuality, and Protecting Your Child from Predators (both from Bethany House). Another notable recent co-authored book is about the discovery of the ancient Biblical city of Sodom (Discovering the City of Sodom.) Her first novel is a murder mystery revolving around a code developed by the early Mormon church (Latter-day Cipher). Another book, co-written with three other ex-LDS scholars, is titled Leaving Mormonism. There's the Amish ghost story (What Will Be Made Plain, TSU Press). The time-traveling YA (The Mona Lisa Mirror Mystery, Cruciform Press.) All are.... controversial. Her tame self writes well-reviewed Bible studies on hospitality and 1 Corinthians 13 and stewardship. She's published a volume of poetry and two books about reckless woman-faith. She's also won a national award for humor. Her kids say she's not so funny, but she just holds up the prize check. With her sole-authored theological books, she is patron-supported and publishes those books exclusively with TSU Press. She blogs at Latayne.com.
