My Artistic Journey
As a passionate artist with a love for creative writing and photography, my journey began at a young age, exploring various mediums and styles. Recently, I have set up this website to inform my followers that I have published a book.
For Immediate Release
Headline: Grit, Philosophy and Fistfights — New Novel “It Only Takes One” Opens with a Knockout First Chapter
Dateline: Los Angeles / Atlanta — November 1969 (book) — [October 2025]
Summary:
Author [Gary Parker] launches a compelling opening chapter to the novel It Only Takes One, introducing readers to David and Gary — two flawed, magnetic drifters whose rough edges, martial arts bravado, and philosophical questioning collide in a tense dojo confrontation and a series of time-jumping memories. Chapter 1 sets the tone for a story about identity, belonging, and how a single person can change a life.
What happens in Chapter 1:
- A late-November night in Atlanta: 26-year-old David, a proud Shotokan brown-belt with a violent swagger, challenges Sensei Joe Corley in a local dojo; his friend Gary watches.
- Intercut flashbacks take readers from 1969 to 1963 and 1968, revealing Gary’s Navy Reserve past, overseas service, diving work, roommates, and life on Southern California beaches.
- Themes of masculinity, loyalty, consciousness, and the idea that 'it only takes one' person to validate you are introduced through action, character detail, and philosophical asides about time, space, and solipsism.
Author’s note (excerpted voice from Chapter 1):
'For Gary’s critics — it only takes one person to make you feel special and valid. Like you belong here.' The chapter balances physical confrontation with introspective musings, giving readers both pulse and thought.
Why readers will care:
Chapter 1 immediately establishes visceral conflict and layered characterization, promising readers a novel that ixes gritty realism, martial-arts action, road-story camaraderie, and philosophical reflection. Fans of character-driven literary fiction with a hard-edged, 1960s atmosphere will find the opening irresistible.

What is the self but a fleeting sigh,
A flicker of life, a question why?
In pursuit of the whole, we lose our part,
Yet find the infinite within the heart.
