Jeffrey Creighton Chapman, loving husband, beloved father and grandfather, had just turned 68. He was rushed to the emergency room Monday for the umpteenth time this year, and he wasn’t expected to live out the week. He was to be transferred to another hospice on Tuesday (his second in a month, bookending a few weeks of hospice care at home); however he passed away before that could happen. His wife, Carmelle, was no longer able to care for him. He required round-the-clock

So now what? I had nothing with which to restart my writing career. I kept wracking my brains. Was there anywhere, anywhere, I might have backed up some of my files that I hadn’t thought of yet? Then it hit me: Amazon! My books were still for sale on that site. Was it possible to download the original manuscripts that were converted into Kindle format, or were only the Kindle digital files stored there? I checked and found that, yes, the original Word files were downloadabl

I've always been careful about backing up my work. I backed up everything to two separate HDDs in a storage tower attached to a surge suppressor, as well as uploaded to MS OneDrive. So, I knew everything was safe from power surges, floods, fire, and other disasters. During my 10-year hiatus from writing/editing/promoting (2016-2026), I didn't worry about the files, secure in the knowledge that they were safe. When my laptop ran out of space, I double-checked that I had everyt

My fourth novel, My Other Car is a Spaceship, will be released in paperback format for the first time on October 15, 2026, along with an updated ebook version. But this is not simply the same book reformatted for print. It's a new edition with significant enhancements and additions. Note the slightly altered cover as well. I've done something with the Second Edition (2E) that I've never done before.. Most of the reviewers of the First Edition (1E) were highly complimentary, b

I'm working on editing MOCiaS and formatting it for release as a paperback in the next few weeks. Unlike the first three books released as paperbacks earlier this month, the MOCiaS update will have significant changes. I've edited about 45% of the manuscript so far, but I'ved already expanded several scenes I felt needed more character development. I've also ex panded a pivotal battle. The biggest objection I have seen in a couple of review comments is that the battle scenes

The planned book giveaway contest for Sept. 12-14 was a nonstarter as a result of a glitch with the QR code. The problem has been corrected and the contest will be held shortly.

It took some doing, but I've managed to get my first three ebooks formatted and ready to order this month as paperbacks, for the first time ever! So, those of you who have been waiting (im)patiently for the last decade for the printed version to come out, now's the time. The Mars Imperative (TMI), The Tesserene Imperative (TTI), and Sunrise Destiny are now orderable. Stay tuned for the paperback availability of My Other Car is a Spaceship and Aliens Versus Zombies later this
