About the Author

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. Other completed works awaiting publication are the post-apocalyptic soft science fiction MAC Series consisting of "Floyd 5.136," "Xea in the Library" and "Beyond the Habitable Limit;" and a recently completed sequel to "The Ripple in Space-Time" entitled "Torn From On High." Chapman is currently writing a rough-and-tumble literary fiction novel about homelessness called "The Missive In The Margins." S F's huge gray male tabby cat keeps him company while he writes and was the inspiration for Striped Cat Press.
