Author JoAnn Parsley

JoAnn Parsley was born and raised in Binghamton, NY, met her husband of 56 years while serving in the Navy, and traveling the world sparked her interest in art and storytelling. Having studied art in New York City, Weber State College in Utah, and Pellissippi State Community College in Tennessee, she also has a degree in English from Chaminade University, and her oils and pastels have won awards in multiple exhibits around the country. Now a retired professional portrait and landscape artist living in Knoxville, she has found the time to pursue her love of writing fantasy stories. The Hafling is her first novel in a series about being different and gaining respect for what you do, rather than who you are.
