My Favorite Author
Robert B Parker is the author of the Best Selling Spenser books that were the basis for the "Spenser For Hire" TV series starring Robert Urich and Avery Brooks.
More recently he has started two new series of books. The Jesse Stone books which have already begun to be used as the basis for several "Made For TV Movies" starring Tom Selleck as Jesse.
The other new book series is a bit different as it involves a female main character. Mr Parker was asked to write the Sonny Randall books as a vehicle for Helen Hunt. Although nothing has come of that yet, the books themselves are typically excellent.
Robert B Parker lives in Cambridge, MA so it is not surprising that all three of these series of books are centered in the greater Boston area. As such, there is some crossover in characters between them - some major, some minor.
I would be wrong not to mention that Mr Parker has written several "stand-alone" books. There have been westerns, a baseball book (about Jackie Robinson) as well as others, including one of my favorites, "All Our Yesterdays."
I hope you find as much enjoyment in the books of Robert B Parker as I have. Happy Reading!

Robert B Parker's Own Blog
I really enjoy the feeling of connection you get from reading the more casual writing I get reading from his blog posts. There is a rhythm to his prose that carries over from his fiction books that breeds a familiarity that is quite appealing.
