John D. Parker
author, narrator, and game designer
Welcome
Welcome to the official site for fiction author, narrator, and game designer John D. Parker. These disciplines may seem diverse, but in my mind, they are all interwoven.
For those familiar with Wikipedia, this is the “disambiguation” site. Here to help you find what you’re really looking for.
Fiction
I write fiction in several genres and publish under different pen names to avoid confusion for my readers and the Amazon AI. This separation is not to hide anything, but to ensure that when you search for my work, you find the genres you expect. So you don’t find dragons when you’re looking for cowpokes. Each story features some combination of one or more of the genres indicated below. You will find stories for young readers and adults in any genre and I will be clear if any story exceeds the equivalent of a PG-13 rating (those are very rare). Just click on the link below to go to the site for the content you want:
Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mystery/Detective
Western, History, Action/Adventure, Mystery/Detective
Narration
I narrate fiction and nonfiction and am available for your project by contracting directly or on ACX.
Visit my Narration Services page for details.
Game Design
In addition to fiction, I design, write, and edit tabletop games. For information on my work there:
Tabletop Roleplaying and Boardgames
Publishing
I self-publish under the imprint J. D. Parker Books, which is listed as publisher on the copyright pages of my books. At this time, there are no other authors published under this imprint.
