Some of my tales have come from the need to write about an event or experience so I could relay it to others. Some have come from secluded moments of contemplation and others just because I needed a laugh.

I wanted to complete this first book simply to compile some of my tales in a format that can be easily read. I wanted to be able to present it to my parents and set aside something for my children and grandchildren. It some how got bent out of shape, a print run of 100 turned into 500 copies and strangers began asking me if they could buy a copy.

I hope you can relate to and enjoy some of my tales.

Thank you for your interest.

P.S. Keep an eye out for book two More Tales From Parker’s Pen due to be released later in 2003.
