Deborah Smith Parker is a writer, poet, essayist, blogger and author of two books. Her first book, “Humanus Astrologicus” (2010), goes where no astrologer has gone before, and easily takes the reader along. Parker blends ancient knowledge with modern wit and rhyme. And unlike many astrology books, it has richness both for the person clueless about astrology as well as the seasoned astrologer.
Her second book, “The Horse That Haunts My Heart,” (2014) quickly captivates readers as it chronicles the extraordinary relationship and shared experiences of Parker with her horse, shaped by the poignancy, hilarity and drama that tested relationships undergo – all set against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
An English Major graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Parker lives in San Diego’s North County with her husband, Jeff, a homeopath. Her other works have appeared in more than 25 different published outlets ranging from “Journal of the American Medical Association” to "New Press Literary Quarterly" to “The Mountain Astrologer.”
