Lawrence Parlier
Sierra Court Blues (Release date July 27, 2013)

Picture
Lawrence Parlier was born in Georgetown, Ohio. Lawrence, fell in love with music and literature at an early age and pursued his muse in both worlds.  At 13, he started playing guitar and spent his teen years honing his musical skills. By his early 20’s he was singer/guitarist for the band The Malevolent. The band, while having great potential, fell by the wayside in the early 1990’s  due to drugs and personal conflicts. 

Burned out on the road and the superficial world of rock-n-roll, Lawrence returned to Ohio to raise his family and work at his writing, culminating in his debut novel  Sierra Court Blues. The novel takes  the reader on a mind-bending adventure with the main character Bo Kineally, a teenage husband and father looking to make his mark on the world as a singer for an up and coming rock-n-roll band. Can he strike a balance between worlds as both sides vie for his full attention? The book leaves nothing to the imagination with gripping characters, roller-coaster drama, and heart wrenching relationships of love, betrayal and intricate family dynamics.

Lawrence resides in Bethel, Ohio with his wife Trina, and their 3 children. Click here to discover more about Lawrence and to read an excerpt of Sierra  Court Blues
