Sidney Parker was born and raised in Minnesota, where she still makes her home with her pint-sized puppy and her family close by.

She has been an avid reader and story creator since grade school. After a few crazy life changing events that made Sidney question who she was and what she wished to accomplish, she decided it was time to follow her dreams and she completed her first novel, Shattered Pearls. Since then, she has published six books and two anthologies.

Parker writes about real life. The gritty, the ugly, and the beauty of friendship, love, and life — especially when circumstances throw you a curve ball.

She always creates a happy ending because we all need happy endings.

When not dreaming up stories, Parker spends her free time in the water paddle boarding and sailing in the summer. When the cold weather hits, she will be searching for the perfect beach to hide out on.
