I also believe that Mike Gaddis used a Parker for most of his early days. He mentions it in several of his short stories.

Great information! Thanks to those of you who have replied. I had not originally thought of surveying more contemporary writers, but now I will. And in saying that, I will add our own Mills M. to the list. My well-thumbed copies of his two books most certainly are the work of a Parker user.

Any more leads? I am especially looking for those that mentioned their Parkers in their writings.

I know Larry. He's the guy on the right with a Parker Repro. I'm on the left, with an H&H RSE
