Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets: Author Spotlight

Morgan Parker

About Morgan -

Okay, I’ll be real honest here. Morgan Parker is not my real name. A lot of people already know this. And yes, I hide behind it in case something I write sucks. I feel like the Great Danton in The Prestige (another piece of Morgan Parker trivia: Christopher Nolan is my literary idol), taking his bow beneath the stage sometimes, but that’s okay. My stories are for you, not for the applause.

A common question I’ll get is, “Morgan, have you ever written some that sucked?” Uh, yeah. I have. It was titled Tell Me.

Another common question I’ll get is, “Morgan, why are you so cool?” Uh, when I get that one, I know it’s time to admit to myself that I have wwwwaaayyyy too many conversations with myself, and I need to stop, especially if I’m in public.

More about Morgan Parker…

Oh, I live in Canada. No, not in igloo, and I don’t take a dog-sleigh to work. In fact, there’s hardly any snow where I live and it gets hot here. Really hot, like Florida in April hot.

Now that you know I don’t live in an igloo and harm pretty doggies who pull my sleigh (I have a car, aka automobile like everyone else), I’ll also add that we’re not socialists up here. Depending on your political views, I’ll say I’m a Liberal or a Conservative, whatever it takes to get to the next topic. I don’t care much for politics, I don’t believe that one party is better than the other because both parties push their own agenda, right or wrong. Enough about that.

I’m funny. Even when I’m not funny, I’m funny. People laugh at me (including what I say). Maybe I’m not funny, but it feels good to say I’m funny. It also feels good to say that I deserve to be wealthy just like Rhonda Byrne taught me to say in The Secret. I deserve to be laughed at. Wait, that doesn’t sound right…

I might have ADHD. Being a self-diagnosed hypochondriac, I’m pretty sure I am ADHD-positive.

I talk a lot when I’m tired, drunk or bored. I’m only bored right now.

Textual Encounters Synopsis -

Katie discovers an unlocked iPhone in the back seat of a taxi. But instead of turning it in to the driver as lost, she decides to keep it for herself.

Outside of the usual clutter you would expect to find on a smart phone, what captures Katie’s interest is the single conversation she finds on the phone’s secure text messaging service, a three-month dialogue between a woman with an uncertain past named Christine and a single, eligible man named Jake.

>>From Strangers to Soul mates in 90 Days

What starts out as a message intended for someone else ends up being the beginning of a relationship more powerful than anything Christine or Jake have ever experienced.

But nothing ever turns out to be as good as it initially seems and their histories slowly reveal details and past lovers that threaten to derail their humble quest for love.

>>Forgotten In The Back Seat of a New York City Taxi

Can Christine and Jake overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles, doubts and secrets that endanger their love?

If so, why would such a relationship get forgotten in the back seat of a New York City taxi?

>>Presented in a Format Unlike Any Other You Will Find

Follow Katie as she reads through the 3 months of conversations that form The Christine + Jake Affair and provide the foundation for the Textual Encounters Trilogy.

Textual Encounters 2 Synopsis -

Having found a white iPhone in the back of a New York City cab, Katie orchestrates a "chance" meeting with Jake, the man of her dreams. Knowing more than she lets on, Katie develops a relationship with Jake that ultimately gets captured in text form. And those texts are passed along to the married woman that just lost Jake's baby.

After 12 years, 4 months and 1 and 1/2 weeks of marriage, his wife packs up and leaves with their daughter. So he writes an Indie novel. And it becomes a bestseller. Well, sort of.
His fame brings him the lifestyle of a rock star, and he has the fan mail (i.e. female undergarments, probably clean) to prove it.
But seeing his fame, his wife suddenly believes in marriage counseling. Their homework: to create something beautiful for each other.
So he writes Our Story, his literary secret-weapon that will win his wife back. But in the process he discovers that true love is more than just ticking the right boxes on a checklist. It starts with... well... }i{ .

Hope Synopsis-

Morgan Barker, the lead character of Non Friction and brilliant author of Our Story, has all but recovered from the heartache caused by Emma. But when his company's accounting firm sends Hope to inquire about some suspicious account practices, Morgan is reminded of the beautiful story he created. He is reminded because Hope has a different version of Our Story than the unpublished, never-seen-before version that Morgan created. Read more about Olivia and Oliver's ongoing and difficult love affair, their secret moments and the struggle that kept them apart for so long.

Sick Day Synopsis-

Hope and Cameron made a five-year promise before college. Years pass and they never see each other again. But then one month before his planned wedding to Riley, Cameron looks outside and sees Hope in the pouring rain, watching him.

Now, three years later, Cam has one day – a sick day on this last Friday of summer – to convince the one woman whose very existence breaths life into his lungs, that sometimes love like theirs actually does exist, and it’s that kind of love that lives forever, no matter how hard you fight to forget about it and move on.

From the author of non friction and Hope, Sick Day follows one man’s day-long attempt to persuade the love of his life that sometimes it’s okay to break promises if it means keeping the ones that count.
