From their first official meeting it’s evident Parker is a bundle of male … Continue reading “Boston” by Alexis Alvarez

I write southern historical fiction, local history, and I've written a devotional book. The two novels I'm writing are set in Virginia and the Carolinas in the 1760s.

The political science major in me cannot sit idly by and remain silent.
