Scott Parson writes fiction that embraces the comic, the surreal, and the romantic. He moved to New York City to be an actor where he added juggling, fire-eating, and swordplay to his resumé. After playing Shakespeare and touring the hinterlands, he moved from acting to writing. His short fiction has appeared in Spank the Carp, Dual Coast Magazine, and Digital Americana, among others. He still lives in Manhattan on the Upper West Side with his wife and daughter and sends fruit baskets to his son in grad school.
