Creating Spies and Stirring United Jeers…
Parker Jamison’s football fandom started with a simple principle: steer clear of anything remotely Yankee-like. So, naturally, Manchester United was a no-go. In 2010, Parker discovered the joy of watching Man City causing Old Trafford some serious headaches. This comedic chaos was her calling, and she soon embraced Mancini’s gang of misfits like a long-lost family. Mario Balotelli trying to backheel his way into a net in LA was just icing on her crazy cake.
Fast-forward a decade, and Parker, armed with a pen name Ox Devere, is a master of mixing genres. Her debut novel, “Rage of the Jinn,” levitated readers into supernatural thrill rides. But let’s not brag – she’s had more plots cooking in the thriller kitchen. Her second book, “The Devil’s Eye,” cleverly sneaks football jabs as cool CIA agents snoop across Europe, even dropping by Manchester to spice up their adventures.
Though Parker’s never strolled the Mancunian streets, she swears she’s a local – spiritually. Football chats, podcasts, and strategic TV sessions keep her in sync with the Blues’ heartbeat. Her writing slyly nudges readers about Erling Haaland, making sure they know United’s perpetual envy of City’s sparkling triumphs. Go on, have a laugh or two, United fans – if you dare!
