About Us
Theodore Richard Parvin
Ted has spent a lifetime in the motion picture industry. He started out in the costume department, worked his way into production, and ultimately became a producer. A member of the Director's and Writer's Guilds, Ted was among the founders of the Northwest Film Institute. A prolific writer, Ted has written over 150 stories, including award-winning short stories. Mostly he writes because he loves it and his mind demands it. There's a lot to catch up on, but we're working on getting the stories to print.
Curtis Parvin
Curtis spent his first career as a respected trial lawyer in California. His writing during that time focused on legal issues. He has published numerous articles in legal publications but has always wanted to go back to more creative roots -- not that he hasn't been innovative or dramatic as a trial attorney. Ted and Curtis work together on many projects. In addition, Curtis is an avid photographer, amassing a collection of over 50,000 photographs that continues to grow. It is a collection that covers a broad spectrum of nature, cityscapes, landscapes, travel, action, and things you may not have noticed. He is also an accomplished sports photographer.
Ricardo Santos Bell
Ricardo Santos Bell has a fluid writing style all his own. Yet, some say he seems almost like a combination of Ted and Curtis, creating a new voice separate from the rest of the flock. With backgrounds covering the United States, Mexico, and the British Isles, and storytelling in his blood, he has an approach that accesses an uncommon wealth of experience. You may even notice family references in his stories, such as the Bell Family Circus and the Parvin family mentioned in An Emissary to a Revolution, a tale of war, politics, and love underpinned by the Mexican Revolution.
