Mr. Parker taught English at secondary schools in both Canada and New Zealand for twenty-five years and has written many short stories published in magazines in both New Zealand and United States during that time. His interests besides writing, include golf, travel, especially cruises, crosswords and reading. He also played hockey for the University of British Columbia in the 60’s under Father David Bauer. Many of his novels involve sports such as hockey and baseball, but they always contain an element of conflict within the protagonist’s family. The author hopes to continue enjoying cruises and coming up with interesting plots for his novels.
