Cover Love
I just saw my new cover...which I love! Amanda Matthews Studios is fabulous and I'm fortunate to work with her.
Heart Murmurs will be out digitally in all outlets on March 21st.
Here's the blurb;
Mia Templeton is dying. Or was dying. After receiving a heart transplant, her world is forever altered. Before her eyes open, she overhears her donor was a murdered girl of the same age. Whispers invade Mia’s head before she’s even left the recovery room. She develops tastes for foods she once hated, and dreams so vivid, she feels they’re someone else’s memories. Her personality is altered—once a quiet doormat, she’s now inexplicably flippant, and confident. And her unexplained longing for the new boy at school is borderline obsessive.
Morgan Kelley is new. Adopted by his aunt, a descendent of Louisa May Alcott (Little Women), he’s thrown into life at a new high school, and as a historical guide for his aunt’s store—a homage to all things Alcott. Conspiracy theories abound about his mangled lower leg—but no-one has been brave enough to ask. Till Mia.
Something is awry with the Underground Railroad tunnels beneath his aunt's home. Mia and Morgan enter the world of a secret Literary Society--and are drafted to help bring a rogue Literary giant to justice, solve the mystery of her heart donor, the the real fate of Beth from Little Women.

A circle of crows
which was my very first book, is now available on nook!
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-cir...
Yea! Heres a cover quote worth promoting.
"A rollicking ride of a story, with a tender heart -- A Circle of Crows is a thrilling adventure where the impossible comes to happen; where past meets present; and where a reader can't help but realize that some bonds can't be broken by time or distance."
Jodi Picoult, author of The Tenth Circle, Vanishing Acts, and My Sister's Keeper.A Circle Of Crows

Something is awry with the Underground Railroad tunnels beneath his aunt’s home.
Mia and Morgan enter the world of a secret Literary Society–and are drafted to help bring a rogue Literary giant to justice, solve the mystery of her heart donor, the the real fate of Beth from Little Women.
Heart Murmurs is based on the concept of cellular memory; that the bodies RNA may carry a part of our consciousness into an organ donor. I researched memoirs of people who experienced this phenomenon. The historical portion is based on the life of Louisa May Alcott, ardent feminist, visionary, civil war nurse and abolitionist.
For some, the key to happiness is letting go of the past, for others, it’s embracing it.

New Book Bundle
Hi. Exciting news. Publisher released a new book bundle for me! See my website for the cover. I will upload when goodreads catches up with amazon lol.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Rule-of-Thr...
Three complete books (Bride of Blackbeard, Project Mendel, Into the Woods). Three different genres (Historical, Science Fiction, Fantasy). One fantastic book!!!
Editorial Reviews:
Brynn Chapman will captivate the reader with intricate details, a mystery that ensnares the reader and characters that will touch their hearts. By the end of the first chapter, this reviewer was enthralled with Bride of Blackbeard. It’s a compelling tale of sorrow, pain, love, and hate. Each of the people Costanza encounters on her journey has an experience to share, drawing in the reader more. Ms. Chapman sketches a story that tugs at the heartstrings. I believe many will be touched in some way by this extraordinary book that leaves much thought.

Bride of Blackbeard has it all. You'll instantly feel a part of the story as Constanza's character seems to come alive. You'll walk right beside her as she endured the sadness, pain and sorrow, of growing up, and you'll root for her, all through the healing process. Bride of Blackbeard was hard to put down. The secondary characters, some you'll love to hate, some will steal your heart, just as Constanza and her siblings do.
Ms. Chapman definitely has a winner, and you'll want to have the tissues handy, it tears at your heartstrings, and you'll love every minute of it! The setting is spot-on and as if time had turned back. You won't want to pass this one by, it's a must read, and one that should be on everyone's keeper-shelf.

Honored in Book of the Week Placements – Long and Short Reviews!!!
The Bride of Blackbeard by Brynn Chapman is what I refer to as a ‘beefy’ read. It’s a romance sandwiched between historical facts and a personal growth story.
Constanza is a great heroine. She is strong willed with a purpose. But unlike so many historical romances that plop a 2008 woman into the past, Constanza’s ‘Stanzy’ is believable and very well defined. A childhood filled with unspeakable nightmares has forced her to be stronger and more self reliant than most women of her time.
Where Constanza is a woman not molded in the traditional time setting, Lucian is. As a hero restricted by the mindset of the 1700s his character is often at odds with Stanzy. Lucian is a man of good heart and nature, something Constanza hasn’t been lucky enough to have in her life.
The final barrier to their happiness is the same—Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard.

5 Star, Top Pick!!!
Okay. Primarily this is a science fiction book with lots of romance and it's a page-turner thriller. I sat up until almost three in the morning reading this book because I couldn't put it down.
Brynn Chapman has written a well-researched book that takes the fledgling science of cloning and genetics just a step further. Project Mendel will reach out grab you, suck you right into the story, and scare the pants off you. I loved it. You will root for the heroes and heroines, some of it will be difficult to read, and it will make you cry and a lot of it will make you think. I give this one a solid 5 and a recommended read.

Into the Woods by R.R. Smythe - This Young Adult Fantasy will send chills down your spine. I, as the reader, followed Callum and witnessed everything he and his friends went through as they attempted to decipher the messages. Each time Callum deciphered one of the four messages, some villagers awakened. Through the eyes of Ellsbeth, I saw the other sleepers wander, make mistakes, and be released from the Netherwood, leaving Ellsbeth alone. Excellent reading for any age of fantasy fans!

Into the Woods has a rich tapestry quality that is found in old fairy tales. The words and rhythm give it the feel of a fable. The tale hints at what is to come, but never gives you a true look.

Bluebirds Audio
From the voice actress:
Winding down on production of the audiobook Where Bluebirds Fly by Brynn Chapman.
This is such a rich story. Hard to categorize, it's part science fiction, part historical romance, part YA. Two orphans lives are entwined (although they are born centuries apart) as they struggle with the Salem witch trials, a mysterious corn maze, time shift, childhood trauma and healing, synesthesia, Asperger's, and so much more.
Look for it's release in July, 2014 on Audible and Amazon. Meanwhile, here's a tidbit of what's to come . . .
