Parker Garrett is the author of queer thrillers and mysteries that explore institutional failure, ethical compromise, and the human cost of power. His fiction is shaped by more than two decades working inside healthcare and regulatory systems, where decisions are made under pressure, documented imperfectly, and often insulated from consequence.
He holds a doctorate in bioethics and has spent his career at the intersection of clinical ethics, research compliance, and emerging technologies. Over the years, he has worked closely with hospital ethics committees, nonprofit organizations, federal agencies, and AI governance initiatives—experiences that inform his understanding of how ethical infrastructures are designed, how they break down, and how harm can be quietly normalized within complex institutions.
His debut novel, Adverse Events, approaches these questions through suspense fiction set in a near-present world. While speculative in structure, the story draws on firsthand knowledge of clinical oversight systems, private influence, and the slow erosion of public trust when accountability becomes inconvenient.
Parker lives with his husband in Lewes, Delaware.
