Parker is a retired Naval Surface Warfare Officer and Senior Naval Science Instructor with a lifelong interest in Science Fiction and history; especially the "What If" scenarios where Science Fiction and History merge; that intriguing place where events balance precariously on the fulcrum of human interaction and the smallest details can tip the outcome of those events one way or another; the fascinating realm of alternate history. When he is not reading, researching and writing he spends his days kayaking and hiking to waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina with his wife of fifty years.
