Like her protagonist Shannon Kendricks, Cathy Parker is an attorney. She volunteered as a zoo keeper's aide for eight years and did have a very special beluga buddy, Mauyak, just as Shannon Kendricks has. As to encounters with alien children, as in the trilogy, she is not saying. She was also a radio and print journalist and once was the 'Jill of all trades' for a small satellite paper in Wyoming. She did everything from taking to the photos to writing the articles and op-ed pieces to helping with layout and hauling the newspapers through blizzards once a week. As a result, she saw lambs being born and went on a cattle drive and ate her first (and last) Rocky Mountain Oyster. She has seen mountain gorillas in the wild in Rwanda and orangutans in Borneo and even rocked an orphaned baby orangutan to sleep on her chest. She has volunteered with a chimpanzee sanctuary for former research subjects. So you can see where her heart lies. Currently she lives in Costa Rica with her black cat. All similarities between her cat and the trilogy's Narcissus are purely and probably coincidental.

In this excerpt from Power of Three, Shannon is beginning to experience what will become immense cravings for food, caused by her brush with alien beings. I have immense cravings for food too, and I haven't even been brushed by aliens. This is problematic for me right now, because my stove and oven aren't working. That would be okay if my microwave were here, or my instapot. These items, however, are with the rest of my household goods aboard a ship somewhere on the high seas. So I am eating cold. This too would be all right were it not for the fact that my refrigerator is freezing my leafy greens and fruit. Still, I have managed to ingest a splendid amount of extremely fresh pineapple, papaya and so forth. For these reasons, I confess I've been eating out more than usual. Today my taxi driver and I stopped on our way back from San Isidro [where I was fingerprinted for my residency application] and ate lunch on the beach. Can't beat that.

Book Excerpt

Power of Three

Shannon made for the front entrance, but caught the smell of cafeteria food drifting over the hallway. Her stomach grumbled like a bear waking from hibernation, rousing a ravenous appetite in Shannon, unlike anything she’d known. She wanted food. She needed food.

All right. She’d stop, but just long enough to grab a bite. And then she’d return to her quick escape.

An hour later, Shannon shuffled along, still dizzy and clumsy, but undiscovered, out of the hospital. Perhaps no one had thought she’d escape to the cafeteria. Hah.
