Encyclopedia : K : KJ : KJP : K. J. Parker
K.J. Parker is an author of fantasy fiction. Having worked in the law, journalism and numismatics, K.J. Parker now writes and makes things out of wood and metal.
Parker was raised in rural Vermont, a lifestyle which has influenced her work. Parker is married to a solicitor and now lives in southern England.
Her books break down into three trilogies. The Fencer Trilogy follows Bardas Loredan, a fencer-at-law. The Scavenger Trilogy is about a character called Poldarn who wakes on a battlefield suffering from amnesia. The most recent series, The Engineer Trilogy, is a work in progress and features an engineer, Vaatzes, who is forced into exile from his home city and plots a dreadful revenge. All of Parker's books feature morally ambiguous characters and are darker than the average fantasy fare.
