Biographie:
Michael Park has a bachelor's degree in English literature, but more importantly he has worked in various roles in pharmacy across Canada, during which he has met thousands of people in the industry. Although pharmacy and pharmacists play a pivotal role in our lives, neither the industry nor the individuals who work in it are featured prominently in fiction. Therefore, Michael decided to change that with this book. Although he has dreamed of writing a novel since high school, it took being stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic for him to finally buckle down and do it. When he's not writing, Michael enjoys watching sports and movies, reading, and going to concerts. He lives north of Toronto, Ontario with his wife Mia and daughter Alexis.

Sommaire:
Darrell, Mala, and Jack are three quirky characters who have an equally unusual dream-to transform the world through the alchemical power of pharmacy. Just as pharmacists work on an elevated platform, in their own way, Darrell, Mala, and Jack were born for the stage. While growing up in a small, backwards American town, their outlandish behavior often lands them in a heap of trouble. However, whether it's leading a bra burning protest outside their high school, upending a show trial when one of them is accused of slapping a teacher, or an impromptu midnight performance in an abandoned pharmacy on the wrong side of town, these lifelong friends are determined to abide by their principles and their dreams no matter what. As Tiny Little Pharmacists follows this trio from childhood to adulthood, the narrative is as unconventional as its protagonists. Not only does it extend hundreds of years into the past, linking the practice of pharmacy with the persecution of witches, it also reaches thousands of years into the future where pharmacists are being exterminated by the evil American Fried Chicken corporation. In a world that dismisses pharmacists as glorified pill counters, soon to become obsolete, this novel flips the script. Prepare for a wild ride through history, rebellion, and the heart of pharmacy itself. After reading this book, you'll never look at pharmacists-or their craft-the same way again....
