A lifelong Northern Californian, S F Chapman traded his construction
job for the more docile profession of novelist in 2008 when the US economy
faltered.
The tireless author has since written eight books. His first, “I'm
here to help” (published by Striped Cat Press in July of 2012), is a literary
fiction novella about a teenage daughter looking for answers to some troubling
inconsistencies in her birth certificate. “The Ripple in Space-Time” (published
by Striped Cat Press in February of 2013) is Chapman's second book. It is an
exciting science fiction detective adventure set in a moldering and corrupt
future controlled by greedy warlords. The author’s third novel “On the Back of
the Beast” is an action-packed Contemporary Fiction tale about a massive
earthquake that destroys the San Francisco Bay Area. It is now available from
Striped Cat Press. Chapman recently released an exciting sequel to “The Ripple
in Space-Time” entitled “Torn From On High.”
Other works include the post-apocalyptic soft science fiction MAC
Series consisting of “Floyd 5.136,” “Xea in the Library” and “Beyond the
Habitable Limit.”
Chapman has just finished up a rough-and-tumble literary fiction
novel about homelessness called “The Missive In The Margins.”
