Though it may not add much discussion to this forum, you might check out Paul Parker's book, Freeheel Skiing, Telemark and Parallel Techniques for All Conditions. I have found his tips and instruction very helpful, though I come to tele mainly from a long alpine background. He covers well the parallel turn and some other turns on tele gear. He seems to be coming from a nordic/telemark background, so you may find this especially helpful. The third edition is the most current, though still about ten years old, but then free heel skiing is far older.
Another source, especially from a nordic perspective would be Steve Barnett's Cross Country Downhill book, also in a third edition. Not sure if it is still in print. SB started writing about turn techniques on XC gear in the mid 70s and his book includes a section on parallel turns as well as several other turns useful on light free heel gear. This book is very well written and the photos and instruction are very good.
