Welcome to the official website of Barry J. Parker, author of (In)Complete Isolation
Coming Soon.
It’s taken me seventy-seven years to write this book — most of that time dreaming.
​A debut novel forged quietly, completed late in life.
​
Jack Babbidge chose isolation on a quiet bay — a small refurbished house and a barrier he can draw across the water, — days measured in careful self-discipline and struggling creativity.
​
Then a stranger sails in — self-possessed, quick with a joke, and not quite what she seems.
​Tansy isn’t running from the world so much as testing it, and Jack’s careful solitude begins to bend.
