While Parker Mayhem isn't her real name, she deemed the change necessary since she considered her real name too ordinary and forgettable to “slap on the front of books”. Parker started writing young and managed to make it a small, but lucrative business, trading story for pudding or pocket change in grade school. This lasted through junior high and into high school where her fellow students would pay or barter goods for a custom story written through their school planners. She later said farewell to her young fiction career to focus her studies on more “grown up” things like automotive technology and technical sales. After leaving college Parker tried out several jobs including ground equipment mechanic for a commercial airline, where she once caught a small kangaroo, and some seasonal clerical work for the government where, more often than not, they made box forts and played card games. Time went on and nothing seemed to be the perfect fit. Her love of writing reared it's ugly mug again and she couldn't ignore the siren’s call.
So here we are.
Parker currently lives with her wife and daughter in Utah where they run a paranormal investigation group and frequently make impulsive “not so grown up” decisions, like following passion and making a career writing books on the interwebs.
