W H ParkerW. H. Parker has always been and will be an accountant. As an independent consultant in the corporate world for years, Parker has mastered the fine art of unraveling entanglements the corporate guys were unable to, but his heart has always been in soving mysteries. Born in 1952 in Burbank, California, raised and schooled in the San Fernando Valley, his parents were tied to aerospace. An industry that prided itself on a simple motto, one Parker learned from his father and took to heart at an early age. The impossible we do immediately, the miraculous just takes a little longer. In 1965 Parker met his first love. One that still plays an active role in his life. Motorcycles. A few years later, that first love had some stiff competition. Girls. Somewhere in high school, a third love fell into his lap; The mystery novel. After digesting everything written by such authors as Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, and let's not forget Doyle's adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Parker began with the help of Mrs. Leonard, his English teacher, to pen his own imaginations. But, like time itself, change came roaring into Parker's life in 1973 when he met Janet, the true love of his life. Marrying in 1974, Parker put his imagination on hold while juggling the responsibility of school, work, and a new family. Their first child was born in 1976, the second in 1977. Forty-five years later, with Janet still by his side, Parker renewed a love affair thought forgotten. Now retired and living in the Pacific Northwest, solving mysteries and writing about them take up most of his time. That is, of course, when not visiting the grandchildren, riding the motorcycle or taking Janet to breakfast. Read More Read Less
