P.J. Parker. Australian/American. With a Bachelor of Science Architecture Degree from the University of New South Wales he has travelled and lived extensively around the world—intrigued by cultures of historic interest and buildings of architectural significance. An avid reader and researcher, P.J.’s writing is undertaken with a passionate and exacting degree of attention to detail. Roxelana and Suleyman was P.J.’s debut novel and was quickly followed up by the internationally-acclaimed Fire on the Water: A Companion to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In 2015 the publishing rights to Roxelana and Suleyman reverted to P.J. offering the opportunity for the work to be revised and re-published as the author had originally envisioned. P.J. currently lives and writes in the USA.
