I've signed with Spectrum Books!
Publishing with one of the world's premier LGBTQ+ presses
I’m excited to share that Adverse Events will be published by Spectrum Books, a UK-based publisher committed to LGBTQ+ visibility and community. Spectrum is known for championing bold, character-driven stories and for building a global readership for queer fiction across genres.
Adverse Events is a queer medical thriller set in a near-future United States shaped by dismantled healthcare oversight and institutional failure. The novel will be released in late summer/early fall and distributed worldwide.
I’m proud to be joining Spectrum’s roster of authors and to be working with a publisher whose commitment to visibility, care, and community support is central to its mission. Spectrum’s dedication to championing queer stories—and to materially supporting LGBTQ+ charities—reflects the values that drew me to this partnership. I look forward to sharing more about the novel, the series, and the publication journey in the months ahead.
Author. Ethicist. Raconteur.
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by...
Hi, I'm Parker Garrett. I write queer thrillers and mysteries.
My writing explores what happens when institutions designed to protect people instead calculate risk, manage harm, and quietly look the other way. Set against the worlds of medicine, technology, and influence, my stories examine the human cost of power—especially when truth becomes inconvenient and accountability is deferred.
I write from lived experience. With a doctorate in bioethics and more than two decades working in compliance and institutional oversight, I’ve seen how decisions are made under pressure, how records become partial, and how harm is normalized when responsibility is diffuse. Each novel begins with a kernel of truth drawn from real-world systems and asks what happens when those systems fail the people inside them.
In my stories, death isn't hidden—it happens in plain sight, if people are willing to see it.
