Keith Parker is one of the seven remaining native Huntsvillians, a feature writer for JustUsGeeks.com, and a novelist who hasn't become famous yet. Over the years he's managed to strongarm several traditional magazines to publish his short fiction; has peddled his indie-published adventure novel, and has just completed (with his co-author) his first science fiction novel, Madness Rising.  This book is the first in a series of young adult novels about orphaned colonists on a distant planet who dig up something that should've remained buried. As he searches for a literary agent, he's hacking away at the sequel, Madness Ashore.  He thinks the series will sell well if a lot of people buy it.
