LONE STAR LIT SERIES SPOTLIGHT

To the Republic Series by Bruce Clavey

The To the Republic Series launches from true pages of the Lone Star frontera story into a hauntingly modern arena of trade, trafficking, and tradition on the Rio Grande.

An action series in a literary wrapper, the To the Republic series blends today's headlines with history at America's vibrant border with Mexico. Untangling the lines that segregate the sector into travel hotspots, cartel plazas, and disparate life zones, the fictional saga traces a spark that flies into the tinder of everyday living in the region and ignites cultural strife.

Available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback

Bruce Clavey of Round Rock, Texas writes with a passion for exploring the Latin heritage tucked in cultural corners throughout Texas, Mexico, and Central America. In 2017, Clavey's research into perspectives on state history led to his onsite rediscovery of the Mexico City dungeon where the colonial "Father of Texas" was imprisoned, documented in his book The Inquisition of Stephen F. Austin. His interest in illuminating compelling historic junctures brought the creation of several feature dramatizations for state museum in-exhibit performance. www.bruceclavey.com
