I write stories with alpha males and strong, determined women.

I am a dreamer, an avid reader of fiction, a sometimes gardener and an inept crafter. I live in Idaho. I have three sons, a daughter-in-law, a granddaughter and little grandson. Over the years, I taught dance but as time passed, I decided to try my hand at a new endeavor - writing. I enjoy life and all its promises.

No one but P L Parker could take something like a vampire story and turn it in such a way. Written with such description, sensitivity to the point of almost being poetic, this is a really good story. Had to read it in one sitting! Beautiful. Can you say that about any other vampire offering??

4.0 out of 5 stars A historical/modern vampire romance
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2011
For six centuries Chloe, a half vampire, has been buried in the French Vosges Mountains, awake the whole time, wailing at first, despairing of never being found and quiet in the end. Two young archeology students stumble upon Chloe's casket and open it up, not knowing that in doing so they have brought her hiding place to the attention of the Council of Nine, who send out their best slayer, Zaccarius to judge her. Jochad, the Dark Master, has also felt Chloe's release and seeks her in order to claim her for his own evil purposes. Chloe and the two students who discovered her (Benny and Earl) must now run and with Zaccarius' help, and ultimately fight the ultimate battle against evil.

Written in a style that alternates between telling Chloe's story six centuries earlier, and present day, the author has managed to make the transitions virtually seamless and easily understood. Chloe was her father's darling in her early lifetime and because of her circumstances spent most of her life isolated from normal people. This caused her to have a certain innocence of how the world works that carries over into this century. While she is sweet and innocent, she is no pushover and manages to be both strong when needed and still maintain her sweetness.

Zaccarius is the best of the best for a reason, he can fight better than anyone, is fair in his judgments and one fine looking male. Benny and Earl give us great comedy relief and are determined to protect Chloe no matter what. Jochad is a truly nasty, evil villain, and you just love to hate him. All are well written, we are given enough back story to understand what makes them tick and they all have plenty of face time. There are a number of supporting cast members who round out the story, giving us peeks into the main character's pasts. We are given hints along the way as to why Jochad is so eager to get his hands on Chloe, and there is even a surprise twist in the end.

I really enjoyed this book, once I sat down to read it, I couldn't put it down and read well into the night to finish it. Chloe had just the right amount of spunk about her to make me like her, and her reactions to modern changes were believable. The chemistry between Chloe and Zaccarius was immediate and it was fun to watch it develop. I do have to say, the picture of Zaccarius on the cover did not do him justice, he just doesn't look as intense as described.

There are a few yucky scenes where the bad guys do some damage, no graphic sex, just fade to black kind of scenes. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a strong man who just so happens to be a vampire, a sweet woman/child who just so happens to be able to kick some hiney when she puts her mind to it, some good laughs and maybe a tear or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent paranormal romance!
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021
"I would never let anyone hurt you. If I had to run forever to keep you safe, I would do it."

After six hundred years entombed underground, Chloe awakens. All she wants is to not be alone. The only problem: she craves her elixir, only she has no idea it's blood. Is she a blood-thirsty monster who will lead the world into darkness? Or is she an innocent? The Council sends feared slayer Zaccarius to discover the truth and see if she is redeemable. Chloe's artlessness breaks through all of jaded Zaccarius' walls and they fall in love. When he is captured, Chloe must choose between love and death. Can she save her beloved before it's too late?

Absolution is a magnificent paranormal romance with originality woven throughout. Can a creature who needs blood to survive be pure? I've read a lot of paranormal and urban fantasy novels over the years and never have I read anything like Absolution. The story unfolds in a predictable way, to be sure, but then takes the reader in a totally different direction. P.L. Parker's writing has a very gothic romance vibe which added an interesting depth to the plot. I connected with the characters right away, especially Chloe. I kept waiting for her vicious visage to take over, but I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Nope, no spoilers here. The plot moves at a great pace and the ending was so fulfilling. If you're looking for a paranormal romance with a gothic vibe, pick up Absolution. If you're looking for a paranormal romance that's original, pick up Absolution. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping, fantastic tale of love eternal. A must read!

Utterly enchanting. I’ve read quite a few of P L Parkers books and phew....does she know how to write! So much research must have gone into this story. The depth of this book is just fantastic. The characters are so well written, the speech flows so well bridging old and modern language structure.... flawlessly. Chloe was just adorable. Zachariah is brave, honourable and hot!
I’m not going to give anything away but it’s fun, gritty , dark, has loss and love but the main thing I was moved by was that it portrayed love, honour, promises and friendship as timeless....
Oh and it’s historical intricacies were so real I felt like I was there.
Brilliant, fast moving exciting not a dull bit in it.
Major thanks to the author for a very memorable and unique plot.
Just read it you won’t be sorry!!!
