Coming Soon

In the works

J. G. Chapin considered an exciting and fresh way to promote upcoming book releases, but he had to admit  there was nothing new all the way from his “Mr. Dull Man” wardrobe to his mundane lifestyle.  However, if you’re up for more off the wall humor, here’s what’s coming soon from the Chapin’s World series.

(Beware:  the most ‘self-loved’ author has scratched-out several more books which offer little or no nutritional value.)

Chapin’s World:  Chocolate Concerns Great and Small  would be considered outrageous and totally fabricated exaggerations if the author’s personality was not so well documented. J. G.  Chapin has chosen his imaginary events well and stretched them to the tenth power of absurdity. Join the author and relive a men’s retreat, go out on a limb, and then allow yourself to be overrun by hornets.  Feel free to laugh at Papa’s apparent anger when he faces mistreatment of chocolate, and be amazed at his futile attempt to fend for himself when his wife is out of town.

Within the pages of Chocolate Concerns Great and Small, you will experience the effects of an expired warranty, and investigate the sudden disappearance of tomatoes.

Welcome to the sanctuary we call, Chapin’s World.

 

My Name is Annie is a brief record of the life events of Anna Chapin, written by her son, J. G. Chapin, and dramatized through conversations with her great grandson, Grant Ingram.  The reader follows the journey of Anna from childhood destitution and subsequent adoption to her ninth decade, and reveals how her cheerful and positive manner gave the determination for a better life.

During her teenage years, Annie followed in her parent’s footsteps as a migrant worker in the orchards of Colorado, until she found employment at Fort Carson where she met her future husband, Brad.  All the while, she maintained a steadfast compassion and desire to help others. 

Out of nine siblings, Annie had kept contact with only two of her sisters and one brother.  Sixty years after their adoption, she was reunited with one other sister.  Sadly, she also learned that another brother and sister had passed away.  The others had never been located since World War II.

My Name is Annie offers sense provoking descriptive nostalgia with contemporary sentiment.  The author gives a biographical glimpse into the history of one woman, which will likely keep the reader engrossed until the very last sentence.  You will agree that she was a generous, kind, and God fearing woman, who never lost her values or love of family.  Much of the account was transcribed from incidents the author heard from Annie and his other elders.  But, due to Anna’s failing memory, other events were recalled with the aid of her younger family’s memories.  So, if you enjoy a heartwarming narrative blended with nostalgia, then My Name is Annie, by J. G. Chapin is a perfect bedside companion.

 

Too Dark for Daylight - Ordinarily J. G. Chapin lives in a comedic world of imagination, but he concedes that there is a kingdom of darkness.  It may lurk all around, or it may dwell inside each of us.  Sometimes mysterious and sometimes distorted with panic and horror.

Too Dark for Daylight is a two-part book sub-titled Too Dark for Daylight and Family History Mystery.   Part One runs wildly as the author is stranded in a menacing tower or finds himself alone in a darkened woods.  Possibly, someone was haunted by an invisible past, and left to deal with a morbid, psychotic mind.  Part Two examines the mystery of the future, and pursues an ancestral treasure investigation.  Chapin follows the gumshoe trail of Chauncey Easter, and solves the dilemma of body rhythms.  The reader is taken from foregone conclusions of the family tree to the feasibility of the family’s  future.

The human mind harbors many doubts, unspeakable secrets, and unexplainable thoughts.  
Without warning, and without barriers, those images surface to reality.  See how the author intertwines descriptive tales that are highly unusual, but always sense provoking.  Realize, you are not alone, look around; everyone is on the edge of becoming psychotic and delusional!  The only question is, when will it happen?

It may happen to you as you cautiously read Too Dark for Daylight by J. G. Chapin.
