I wish to express my great sadness at the loss of actress and author Laura Parker. Laura and the rest of the cast of Dark Shadows were very important to me as a young child. I would run home from school to watch the show.
In 2013 I had the incredible experience of hanging out with Laura and the cast at Epic Con. I actually introduced her to Victor Miller, who was acquainted with a number of people she knew from her days in soap operas.
Also, I had the honor of being invited to share a meal with the cast on the last evening of the convention. Also, at the convention I bought two of her books and gifted her with an autographed copy of Psychotic State: The Novel. I will always remember and cherish that weekend.
