New type of story

Currently I am working on a new novel I call Dream Hitcher. This story brings into conflict Dan Gallatin a Marine veteran given to violent lashing out at the slightest provocation, Anubus who can't dream, Master Dreamer with his great power, and Kristin Goodfolk,a Marine veteran who is being destroyed by what she did in a fire fight with the enemy. I am shooting to have the novel completed in about a month.
 
Dream Hitcher will add a new genre to the wide range of types I currently have; from westerns, such as The Searcher; to mainline fiction such as Swear Vengeance; to young adult as Girl In Falling Snow; to the historical Soldiers Of Conquest -Grant And Lee In The Mexican War, 1846-1848.

I hope you find enjoyment reading my stories. I found pleasure in researching to collect the information with which to write them.

Creative Writing Class

On this past Tuesday, I was invited to speak to the creative writing class at Loudoun County High School. This was a lively bunch of senior graders. We discussed writing novels and poetry. I was impressed by some of the poems the students had written. They wanted to know about ebooks and getting an agent. They were disappointed when I told them that getting an agent was darn tough. Still I encouraged them to write, if they felt the urge. I showed them the different publication methods of books, from hard back to paperback, large print, voice on tape, voice on tape for the blind, and lastly I showed them a sample of my books that had been produced in braile, wherein a person both blind and deaf can read with his or her finger tips on raised dots on paper. FearlParker.com

The use of Poetry

I have written 20 novels and 4 screenplays and have never used poetry. Until in Girl In Falling Snow when I realized that the girl's thoughts were actually poetry. So I wrote her thoughts as poetry. If you should ever read this story, let me know what you think of the poetry. FearlParker.com

A WELCOME REVIEW FOR PREDATORS AND PREY

"lhupa" reviewed Predators And Prey
Great Book, March 8, 2012 
I am not a book person, and I haven't read an entire book in 5 years. I useally have a hard enough time reading magazine articles, but I could't put this book down. When I did finish Predators And Prey, the story was so vivid in my mind, it was like I actually lived it. I am hooked on F.M. Parker and I am getting another one, and another one until I've read them all.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD BOOK COVER

There is an old saying not to judge a book by its cover. And that's true. However, a good cover will draw a person to check the quality of a story. One of my novels, The Slavers, was selling just fair as compared with the other novels. So I prepared a new cover expressing action and danger. The rate of sales of The Slavers with the new cover more then doubled during the next month.  A good cover does matter a great deal. Check the new cover. Fearl Parker
