Portrait of Parker Shelton
About

Hi, I'm Parker Shelton.

I was born in Arkansas and grew up moving around a bit before landing in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I'm based today.

I've always been a creative person before I was ever a writer — drawing, making music, chasing whatever medium would hold still long enough to let something out. Writing found me the same way, in the free hours between everything else, until it became the thing I couldn't put down. I write across literary fiction, thriller and suspense, and sci-fi.

None of it means much without my two daughters. They're the reason behind everything I do, on the page and off it.

  • Based in — Charlotte, North Carolina
