Parker earned degrees in Physics and English Literature before
falling into a career as a science writer. IRON TIES is the
second in her Silver Rush series, featuring saloon owner Inez
Stannert in the 19th-century silver mining boomtown of
Leadville, Colorado. A starred Publishers Weekly review says
"Outstanding...
Plenty of convincing action bodes well for a long and successful
series."
Her debut, SILVER LIES, won the Willa Literary Award for Fiction as well as the Colorado Gold Award and was named a best mystery/thriller of the year by Publishers Weekly and the Chicago Tribune.

Her ancestors include a Leadville blacksmith, a Colorado School of Mines professor, and a gandy dancer. Ann, her husband, and two children reside near Silicon Valley, whence they have weathered numerous high tech boom-and-bust cycles.
