The 'Street Rules' trilogy was developed to give the reader a 'real' look behind the curtain that conceals much of what 'really' transpires in the deadly streets of St. Louis, Missouri. Perhaps one of the most dangerous cities in the United States, the St. Louis story is a reality check and will resonate deeply with many of the readers who have been a part of the heroin trade. And, for those who have not, it will educate, school or otherwise open their eyes to some harsh and deadly realities.
Carl Parker is a dynamic, Canadian artist, author and Autism advocate who creates abstract and expressionist paintings with colorful layers. He brings an eclectic style to his art. Having been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism (formerly Asperger's Syndrome) at the age of 36, his life began to make sense and he decided to take his diagnosis, his talent and his brush and see what he could make of them. A testament to what is possible, his art can now be found in private and corporate collections throughout the world, including Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Europe. To date, he has shown his work in various cities including Toronto, Calgary, Florence, Italy and Paris.
