R. D. Chapman has been an avid reader all her life. Originally from the foothills of North Carolina's beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, she's now an empty-nester living quietly in Nebraska with her husband. She draws on a lifetime of experience ranging from cook to software developer to craft characters and stories. She writes in a blend of SF&F, Urban Fantasy, and Mystery with a smidgen of humor and romance. When not writing, she loves spending time with the three Rs: Reading, cRocheting, and Relaxing.
