Author Bio

---

Parker was raised in the rugged mountains of Montana where he grew up hunting and hiking outdoors while developing a love for books and poetry at a young age.  He won the Authors of the Flathead poetry competition in 2008 and was published in several local poetry publications.  As a budding writer and musician, Parker carried his passion to music school in Los Angeles where he studied bass guitar and connected with peers from all over the world. After school, he began writing the Winds of the Immortals Trilogy while traveling and working as a forester through the vast lands of the North American west. Journeying through wilderness's such as the Cascades, Alaska, the Rocky Mountains, and New Mexico and Arizona deserts inspired Parker to formulate his dystopian saga between both his long stints on the fire line, and off-season explorations as well.  His writing is influenced by mythology, folklore, epic poetry, stories of people facing adversity, modern and ancient military history, and multi-cultural perspectives.  In April 2022, Parker became a certified protection specialist after graduating with honors from Executive Security International in Grand Junction, Colorado.  He has been  working as a private security contractor since February 2023 and travels and works between Montana and the southwest US.

I have created a Substack blog and am offering premium writing content for the price of a pint. Some articles are available only to paid subscribers while others are free. If my books are too dense for ones liking, these articles, guides, and essays may be more digestible. Enjoy.

with love and fortitude,
