Author and storyteller Keith C. Parker has launched a new official website designed to give readers a direct connection to his work, background and books.
The new site, KeithParkerBooks.com, presents Parker’s writing in a dark, literary format built around his identity as an author and storyteller. The website currently highlights two of his books, Somebody Lied and False Lipz, while also giving readers the ability to contact Parker directly about purchasing autographed copies.
Parker’s work is aimed primarily at mature adult audiences and is shaped by themes involving struggle, human behavior, perseverance, empathy and hope. His website describes his storytelling as being informed by personal experiences that changed the way he views both life and the people around him.
One of the most significant experiences featured on the site is Parker’s successful heart transplant in 2006. Parker says the experience reinforced for him how short and valuable life can be and strengthened his focus on compassion, empathy and understanding the circumstances of others.
The website also discusses Parker’s experience caring for elderly people living with diabetes and other chronic illnesses, something he says helped influence his perspective and ultimately his writing.
The launch gives Parker a central digital home independent of third-party book marketplaces. Readers can learn more about his background, explore his published work and contact him directly about signed editions.
For Parker, the website is also an extension of what he describes as his broader purpose as an author: entertaining readers while encouraging empathy, perseverance, hope and compassion.
Readers can visit Parker’s official website at KeithParkerBooks.com.
