D. MacNeill Parker has spent over three decades in Alaska’s fishing towns. First, fishing commercially out of Kodiak, later as a state fisheries specialist and as a trade journalist. Parker recently retired to dry land, but she’s not hanging up her XTRATUF boots just yet. Her newest endeavor is a mystery novel, set against the backdrop of Alaska’s fishing industry.
