Meet Tim Chapman

I met a lot of interesting people last weekend, and Tim’s one of ’em. From his website:

Tim Chapman is a former forensic scientist for the Chicago police department who currently teaches English composition and Chinese martial arts. He holds a Master’s degree in Creative Writing from Northwestern University.

His fiction has been published in The Southeast Review, the Chicago Reader, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and the anthology, The Rich and the Dead. His first novel, Bright and Yellow, Hard and Cold, has just been published by Allium Press.

In his spare time he paints pretty pictures and makes an annoying noise with his saxophone that he claims is music. He lives in Chicago with his lovely and patient wife, Ellen and Mia, the squirrel-chasingest dog in town.

Tim’s a fascinating guy. If you like crime stories, you need to get his book! Check out his website—you can also find it in the Links section at the right.
