"All That Glitters Is Not Gold" follows two children-Elena, raised in the gentle rhythm of faith, and Noah, driven by ambition and the thrill of achievement-whose parallel lives unfold like twin threads under the same wide sky. Though they never meet, their stories reflect one another as they grow from childhood into adulthood, each shaped by the choices they make, the fears they face, and the truths they chase. With warmth, depth, and emotional clarity, the novel explores what truly gives life meaning, contrasting a life built on quiet devotion with one fueled by restless striving. As Elena and Noah wrestle with identity, purpose, doubt, and desire, their journeys reveal that the things which shine brightest are not always those of real worth-and that the truth waiting at the end of every life is often gentler, deeper, and more enduring than we expect.
Robert Scott
Robert Scott discovered that true-crime writing is incredibly interesting, as "You have to be part journalist, part detective and part analytical writer for the true crime market." Robert's books have detailed the lives of killers and victims, police detectives and FBI agents—from California to Iowa, from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. They've depicted stories from a murderous male/female team in the High Sierras to a psychopathic killer on the mean streets of Los Angeles. They've also told the stories of victims, from an exotic dancer, to a beautiful but naive college girl, to a loving and vulnerable ranch wife. "The lives of the victims, and the detectives who brought them justice, are vitally important in these stories," Robert said. "I absolutely believe in a comment related to me by an Assistant United States Attorney, 'To the living we owe respect, to the dead we owe the truth.'" Robert is currently working on true crime books set in Oregon and Northern California. Robert has been on many television shows on Discovery ID, A&E, E!, and Tru TV.
