edit data

Alex Parkview is an Army veteran, single dad, proud polyjamorous genre-smasher, and survivor who finds truth in heavy riffs, hidden scriptures, and everything in between.

His memoirs Cathedral of Scars and Hearing the Echoes lay it all bare: PTSD, healing through music of all kinds, breaking free from containment, and waking up to the texts they buried centuries ago.

From the battlefield to the mosh pit to building playlists that span the spectrum, Alex writes for warriors carrying invisible wounds—the ones who know faith isn’t clean, recovery isn’t linear, and real connection doesn’t fit in one box.

Currently on a mission to get real books into the hands of military chaplains and anyone ready to turn the page on their scars.

I Just Can’t Help Myself… I Went and Did It Again

Hey everyone,

I told myself after Broken Mirrors, Steady Ground that I might finally take a breath.
That maybe five books were enough for one scarred-up single dad trying to make sense of the echoes that still wake him up at night.
Yeah… that lasted about five minutes.

I just can’t help myself. The words kept coming, late at night, on trail walks, in the quiet when the cat’s purring and the world feel Read more of this blog post »
