A Northern Ky man was almost killed in a motorcycle accident in April of 07 in Owen County, when an SUV came around a blind curve on the wrong side of the road and hit him head on. Little did Kennett Parker know that a year after his wreck, he would become a published author. During the year it took Parker to recover, he started writing his novel called 'Thundering Hearts:The Razor's Edge'. It is a suspense thriller love story about a biker couple from Ky.
Parker wrote the novel, mixing fact with fiction, to show how today's bikers are honest hard working citizens who help out whenever they can, and want no recognition for their numerous kind deeds. Parker also says that the book shows how a couples love and their faith in God, always overcomes evil in the end.
Parker received an invitation from Senator Damon Thayer of Kentucky last week, inviting him to come to the State Capitol in Frankfort in February, when the lawmakers are back in session. Senator Damon Thayer wants to present Parker with a "SENATE CITATION" honoring Parker for his outstanding accomplishment in becoming a published author, after overcoming his near fatal accident.
Parker said that his book would be available in November to the public. It will be for sale at Barnes and Noble bookstores, Short "Ts" Cycles in Richwood, The Bike Barn Shop in Dry Ridge, and Cammacks Sporting Arms in Owenton. It will also be available online through Amazon.com.
Parker said his website, http://www.freewebs.com/kennettparker has excerpts from the book and that anyone interested in it can contact him there.
