Jeffrey Robert Chapman

Jeffrey Chapman is an ex-pat New Englander who grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, but now lives outside New York City. While studying forest ecology at Harvard, he also wrote for, and edited issues of, the Harvard Lampoon.

Following an MBA from Kellogg, Jeff's spent 30+ years in the advertising/ marketing industry, while writing on the side. After a half dozen dark-thriller screenplays, he realized that scripts are supposed to be movies, and there's a lot of money required between here and there. Novels, on the other hand...

Jeff's fascination with, and simmering dread of, technology is reflected in Cold-Snap, his first book. Where is our obsession with virtual reality headed? What happens when that obsession intersects with true artificial intelligence? Snap-Back picks up the tale where Cold-Snap leaves off. Be sure to read them soon, before any more of what they imagine becomes true.

Strays, Jeff's most recent book, is a fast-paced thriller about a mysterious new species of animal that starts showing up in parts of the Northeastern U.S., adopting some people and slaughtering others. What are they? Where did they come from? And, most importantly, how secure is our place as top-dog on planet Earth?
