Achetez un café à Michael Parkes Author

If you like my books or other content, you can buy me a coffee to show your support. It's always super appreciated! Author interviews go up every Monday and Friday, sometimes I post on my blog, and I may add even more stuff in the future, so be sure to check back later!

If you're looking to set up an interview or would like to guest post, email me through my website at the link at the bottom of this panel.

I'm a Canadian multi-genre author. I love reading, hiking, and also enjoy painting. To learn more about me, my books, follow my socials, or to read my guest posts and author interviews, click the links below to check out my website and socials!

My first book, Cheryl, is a tragic comedy crime/thriller novel about the titular character navigating grief and addictions following her daughter's sudden death. It's a black comedy that tackles serious topics, with Cheryl navigating family turmoil, rehab, and the various inhabitants of her cul-de-sac, both helpful and harmful.

Gnomes and Knights is my second book, and it is a collection of 11 short stories for children. The first 10 stories rhyme and follow the adventures of Fredrick Jerome Kopillus Gnome in and around the garden of Gertrude Grips. The last story, a longer fantasy tale, follows Nathan the Knight on his quest to become a full-fledged member of the Knight's Order. Throughout his journey, he overcomes obstacles both internal and external, makes allies, and always finds a way to save the day in a unique fashion.

I also have a short story, Lookalikes, anthologized in the “Exhumed Ottawa: What Lies Beneath” collection of Ottawa-area authors. Lookalikes can be purchased as an ebook under the “shop” tab.

Both Cheryl and Gnomes and Knights are available on Amazon, including Kindle Unlimited, as well as at some other online retailers. Feel free to follow me on social media at the links below!
