Brandon G. Kroupa, is a Self-Published Author from Grand Rapids, Michigan. He began his writing journey on October 15, 2005 after hearing the song, "The Legend" by Steve Cook. This song became the inspiration for his first novel, "The Seventh Year," which saw its release on April 7, 2012. Mr. Kroupa publishes through the Chapbook Press, which is located inside Schuler Books, a local, independent bookstore in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he has since gone on to "self-publish" eight other titles including his recently released novel, "30 Storeys". You will find him every "Writing Wednesday," as they have come to be known, sitting comfortably in his home office, listening to Movie Scores or Christmas Music, while he works on the next novel.
