Richard Parks III

Richard Parks III, born Richard Hill Parks III in Los Angeles in 1982, has done most of his writing under the byline Richard Parks. He has been mistaken for other Richard Parkses — the retired Welsh rugby star turned endurance athlete, the fantasy writer from Mississippi, and the upstate NY-based literary agent — as well as Richard Hill Parks, his own grandfather and namesake, a psychiatrist who facilitated the liberation of concentration camps in WWII and helped integrate hospitals in the segregated South. You can call him Trip. Nobody ever has.
