Bio
After an extended stint in Spain, during which he saw much of Western Europe from the driver's seat of a Volkswagen microbus, M.E. Parker studied literature for two years before he changed course and eventually received a degree in Physics. During this time he had the opportunity to couple his love for the Great American road trip with his soft spot for the environment by developing a working (though unfortunately impractical) prototype of a non-electric, zero-emission vehicle.M.E. Parker is the editor of the Camera Obscura Journal. He is a writer, a reader, web designer, a software enigeer and a carpenter who imagines a world of wooden computers with leather bound keyboards. M.E. Parker's short fiction has recently surfaced or is scheduled to see daylight in numerous print publications and Internet haunts including 42Opus, Alimentum, The Briar Cliff Review, Electric Velocipede,Flint Hills Review, The MacGuffin, Night Train, Quercus Review, Smokelong Quarterly, Red Fez and numerous others.
