The Secret Magdalene, American novelist and screenwriter Ki Longfellow's third book, was first published in March 2005 by a small Vermont publishing company called Eio Books. Selling under the Eio imprint, garnering 5-star acclaim by a host of readers rather than professional reviewers, in 2006 it was pre-empted by Random House, to be published in a hardback edition in late March 2007.

- The Secret Magdalene, American novelist and screenwriter Ki Longfellow's third book, was first published in March 2005 by a small Vermont publishing company called Eio Books. Selling under the Eio imprint, garnering 5-star acclaim by a host of readers rather than professional reviewers, in 2006 it was pre-empted by Random House, to be published in a hardback edition in late March 2007. Translated into several languages, including Spanish, Czech, Chinese, French and Icelandic, The Secret Magdalene is an historical novel that challenges the traditional view of “historical” events chronicled in the New Testament, specifically the ministry of Jesus Christ and his relationship to Mary Magdalene. Told entirely in the first-person voice of Mariamne (Longfellow’s choice of name is based on Gnostic material found in 1945 at Nag Hammadi in Egypt), this is a tale of Mariamne's quest to understand the gnosis she experienced as a child. In The Secret Magdalene, the Magdalene is not a prostitute, a priestess, the Bride of Christ or the Holy Grail, but a philosopher, a teacher, an adviser, a prophet, and eventually the beloved companion of Yehoshua, the zealot from Galilee who chooses to accept the burden of Messiah out of a need to share his own gnosis with suffering humanity. The book does not rely solely on Biblical accounts but on innumerable Jewish and Arabic texts, as well as on modern Biblical scholarship. There is a selected bibliography included, adding up to several pages of source material. It is divided by scrolls rather than chapters, each scroll dictated at the end of the Magdalene’s life in the mountains of southern France in the region now called the Languedoc, but in her time called Narbonensis.
