Ms. Sinclair gives credit to the development of her imagination and passion for writing to multiple childhood destinations lacking indoor plumbing. It may sound odd, yet when your journey to adulthood consists of numerous backpacking, camping, and hiking trips to the most out-of-the-way and breathtakingly beautiful places in North America, the creation of games, worlds, and characters are the results. She would never trade the childhood her parents gave her, and she thanks them for raising her to have her own thoughts and bountiful imagination. Oh and she wishes to thank them for teaching her that one should never leave their jeans on the floor of an everglades campground shower—lest they do the dance of the scorpions in the pants again!
While attending college, Ms. Sinclair studied biology and psychology, specifically animal behavior, but her love has forever been to write. There are boxes in her house filled with notebooks, journals, poems, stories, lyrics, and personal rants scratched into them with pencil, marker, pen, whatever she could get her hands on. Words demanded to be thrown out of her mind and onto paper by any means necessary. Ms. Sinclair’s studies have contributed greatly to the stories she creates, proving that no matter what path you take, it will all be part of where you end up—sometimes in spectacular ways!
Since 2007, Ms. Sinclair calls Virginia home where she writes full-time, is a licensed educational counselor, and enjoys quality time with her children, husband, and fur babies.

Truth is the second volume in Parker Sinclair's urban fantasy, The Alex Conner Chronicles. Alex has temporarily left San Diego to stay with her grandmother's best friend, Dana, who is a formidable mentor and trainer. Alex spends her days dodging, or at least attempting to dodge, the missiles Dana hurls at her from every possible direction. She's amazed to hear that Dana has actually been in contact with Alex's mother, Stacy, and that her father, whom she had long believed was dead, may possibly be alive and attempting to reunite with her and her mother. Alex's training is interrupted by an urgent call from home. Her best friend from college, Shane, has been in a major car accident and is in critical condition. She's determined to get to the hospital and use her healing powers to keep him alive and restore his health, and to find her foster-brother, Greg, who she's convinced had a hand in the crash.
Parker Sinclair's urban fantasy, Truth: The Alex Conner Chronicles, can be read on its own, but you really owe it to yourself to start with Trust, the first book in the series. Truth continues and expands beautifully on that first book, and the reader can't help but get involved in the journey of exploration and healing that Alex embarks on as she seeks to be reunited with her parents and to learn more about her gifts. I loved the way Sinclair broadens Alex's universe through her dream-states and incorporates the mystery of the murdered healers into her plot. Sinclair's characters are masterfully drawn, and I was particularly taken by the characters of Dana, Vex, the fox, and Valant, a most engaging and urbane demon. Truth is fast paced, with plenty of action and some outstanding panoramic views of the Pacific Coast, the Arizona desert, and Glacier National Park. This original and entertaining fantasy is highly recommended.
