Donald James Parker

Don is a 1968 graduate of Madison Central High School in Madison, South Dakota. He graduated from Dakota State University in Madison in 1972 with a degree in secondary education. After moving to Washington State in 1981, Don studied computer programming and turned his writing efforts to software. After twenty-five years of IT work, Don's passion for writing flared up again, and the doctors couldn't do anything to cure it. The outcome was twenty-seven books, including a five novel series involving two generations of the Masterson family. The main focus of his work involves entertaining while educating through the struggle of his characters to find truth. Rather than avoiding controversial subjects, Parker seeks out to shine a spotlight on issues of life which cause conflict. In 2013, Parker shifted his focus to movies and wrote and produced ten feature films from 2013 to 2020. Several of his films have been aired on Christian television.
