Review of Wife Stealer

Today I received a welcome review of Wife Stealer.
"I have just finished Parker's novel, Wife Stealer. Wasn't sure how it would all end, what with such an ugly hero. But the emotion Parker put into the fellow and the girl he was afraid to approach because of his ugliness, and the action had a fine ending. I will try one of his Coldiron series." James Tunney  

Cry when characters must die

I recently had an email from Thelma Bittinger, who had read my novel Skinner. She asked if I ever became attached to a character so much that when that character must die to make the story complete, I felt a sadness. The truth of the matter is, that I had tears in my eyes when I had to kill the character Peter Pipe in Skinner.
Another story about the Skinner novel, I was district manager of the Vale District of the Bureau Of Land Management at the time I wrote it. The chairman of my advisory boarad was named Skinner, and so that is how the name came to me. I wasn't sure how he would take my use of his name. But he just laughed and bought one.

Welcome review of The Highwayman

I have received a most welcome review of The Highwayman ftom Thomas Johnston he wrote, "I have just finished The Highwayman and found it a fine read. Especially where the main character Errin was trying to say alive on his small sailing boat in the stormy ocean near Antarctica."  See Fearlparker.com home site for other books.

Book Sales

I need some advice. Two of my 20 books, The Shadow Man and Winter Woman, outsell the others by a large margin. I have been unable to determine why so that I can use the same approach on the remaining 18. Can anybody tell me the  reason. Is it the cover, the title, or just what? Check Fearlparker.com

Review of The Highbinders

New! Double R reviewed The Highbinders

Highbinders October 21, 2012

F. M. Parker does his usual great writing, that drags the reader out from their cozy reading place, into the raw and demanding wildness of the mid 1800's mountain west.

New review of Girl In Falling Snow

Daryl L. Kerr "Captain Deke" reviewed Girl in Falling Snow

 authentic, real feeling setting and genuine characters October 6, 2012

Another good read by Parker. He is just terse enough to be concise but detailed enough to seem real. I have read several of his books and have never been disappointed.
