Literary Titan Interview for 'Homespun'

You might be surprised to learn that Ginny was the most challenging character to write. Her perspective felt narrow, even claustrophobic. Ginny wasn’t a reader, and she was secretive and held grudges—but she was also loving. ... Ginny comes across as more flawed than I’d meant for her to... Her character is based on... a woman who was actually such a comfort to be around that the local hospital once offered her a job to simply come and sit with patients—that’s how soothing she was.

'Homespun' Receives Its Very First Medallion!

Literary Titan has graced Homespun with its Gold Book Award on the heels of a lovely review:

Homespun is a gripping and captivating conclusion to the historical fiction ‘Silk Trilogy.’ Readers will be drawn into the drama and transported back in time to the South Carolina countryside and experience the winds of change that were blowing through the Lowcountry South. Some of the best fictional stories have roots in the truth, and the world that Sophia Alexander has created here is one that stays with readers long after they finish the story.
