The Southern Hunt
is of an Alabama family, set against the history of the nation in this biographical novel.
Gracie Boykin is
hunting on the Boykin clan’s ancestral plantation in southern Alabama, heir to the
legacy of her successful family. Reminiscing in the pre-dawn hours of a winter morning,
she begins to write the story of her grandfather Frank W. Boykin.
Like Winston Groom’s Forrest Gump—another Alabamian who made the most of the
turbulent events around him—Frank weathered the political and economic turmoil of
early-20th-century America, prospering in uneven times.
He successfully led his family through the Reconstruction, the Depression and the racism
of the South with a humility and intelligence that bestowed prominence on his family for
generations. His range of business interests in Azalea, Ala. (a fictional city reminiscent
of Mobile), include timber, farming, cattle and even Coca-Cola, the first in the state to
sell it.
His story is not only his own, but that of the whole country at the dawn of a new century.
The stories about Frank’s life and times meld reality and fiction and also notable
are the evocations of the Southern landscape, woodlands and the coast.
“Boykin’s story takes you for a ride through the times uncovering parts of
history you’ll never learn in a classroom.”
—Vivekanand Palavali M.D., author, A Mindful Life

AN ALIEN RESCUE MISSION.....
TO SAVE A DYING EARTH..... |
Eva Fortney is an alien with a mission—only she doesn’t know it yet. Born on the planet Ampaqua, the humanoid
Eva is imbued with extraordinary powers.
She possesses both telekinetic and telecommunicant abilities. Most special of all is how
she can use her talents in medicine.
Eva is unknowingly transported to an Earth that has been ravaged by manmade and
natural cataclysms. Mass death has diminished the population to five
million people. Eva’s job will be no less than to rescue a dying world. Accompanied
by the mysterious
creature called Shadow, Eva will face all the perils of a planet and its people in their
last days of existence.
As much a cautionary tale as it is top notch science fiction. Boykin’s
detailed, desperate, and dire portrait of 25th Century life, is simply marvelous—and
chilling.
—Vivian E. Garcia, author of REC:ord
BRILLIANT! A wonderfully inventive allegory spun around a riveting idea: an
alien’s attempt at preserving a decimated population on planet Earth 400 years in
the future. A thrilling book about saving humankind.
—Richard Criscuola and Samuel McPherson, authors
of Outstar 1: Dark Discovery
A startling look at our own times through the lens of the 25th century. Makes
you think twice about all the things we take for granted.
—Lou Leblanc, author of The New England Dragon.
