Ms. Parker’s first novel, The Infinite Instant, won the 2009 EPPIE award for Best Science Fiction. She is at work on its sequel, The Nihilistic Mirror.
Ms. Parker has completed her second novel, a dark far-future science fiction, in 2009. The novel was developed from a prize-winning short story she wrote years ago. She is in the painful process of finding a publisher. She says far too many large publishers and agents nowadays don’t bother to respond to slush submissions at all. One major publisher held her submission a year without ever so much as returning her postage-paid postcard. But, the work has passed is into second reading at another major publisher, so she’s optimistic enough to have started the sequel to this book, too.
Her book reviews may be read regularly at Bewildering Stories. In spite of all that writing and serious near-sightedness, she still manages to read, read, read!
