A Witch in the
Wardrobe
An
Evangelical Thriller
In April 2024, Wipf and Stock Publishing signed up this novel. It is still in the publication process and not yet for sale---hopefully soon. Belfast, Northern Ireland—2004. Shannon Dillon (26) uncovers a hidden document in a cramped, dimly lit attic, sparking speculation that beloved author C. S. Lewis had once been involved in the Occult. When gangsters steal the controversial paper, they leave a trail of death. Shannon, once trained as an IRA sniper, vows revenge. Leaving
home for America, she
recruits Simon Magister (34), a nerdy
literature professor at an evangelical college. Against
his Christian scruples, Simon is drawn in by scholarly curiosity and
a repressed attraction to Shannon. Together,
they are thrust into a deadly
race to retrieve the coveted 'Belfast
Document,' which she believes will lead to the killer. "A Witch in the Wardrobe" is a thrilling exploration of religious intrigue, blending faith, conspiracy, violence, romance—and the complex nuances of the Evangelical experience.
Can
Shannon and Simon prevail against these nefarious forces, or will
darkness consume their quest for justice and Lewis' integrity? Follow as they walk through
the valley of the A REVIEW This mismatched duo of a Christian College profes- sor and an Irish goth paramilitary is an excellent secret societies, and a ruthless antagonist who is backed by shady corporate interests. There's a kind of Dan Brown/Stieg Larsson feel to this project in terms of elaborate conspiracies and unlikely but men and post-punk female warriors.
