For his many contributions to Southern California independent bookstores and our community of readers, SCIBA is privileged to honor T. Jefferson Parker by naming its annual mystery award the T. Jefferson Parker SCIBA Mystery Award.
For those who don't know, T. Jefferson Parker was born in Los Angeles and has lived all of his life in Southern California. Those who don't call him Mr. Parker, call him Jeff. The "T" is silent because, in fact, it's simply a letter of the alphabet. Jeff's mom claimed the T would look better on the door of the President. Good thing for us he prefers writing novels to dabbling in politics. Please visit Jeff at his website.
