Greetings! 

Welcome to the home of Mark Terence Chapman, author of science fiction novels and other interesting (and maybe not-so-interesting) stuff. Mark has also been known to write humor, poetry, short fiction, children's fiction, and even non-fiction, as the mood strikes him. (Wait a minute! This is my home page. Why am I writing in third-person?)

My first two novels, The Mars Imperative and The Tesserene Imperative) were published in 2007. My third novel, Sunrise Destiny was published by Red Rose Publishing on May 21, 2009. I have also finished a fourth novel, My Other Car is a Spaceship. It's currently being reviewed by another publisher. I have two other novels in various stages of completion.

In addition, I have several short stories that have been published in anthologies or as stand-alone ebooks.

For information about these books and stories (including, as the case may be, excerpts, blurbs, "deleted scenes", book trailers, and other miscellany), use the links on the left. You might also be interested in visiting my blog, Tesserene Dreams.
