Welcome...                                                                                    ...to my website

 

Hallo, my name is Martyn Chapman and I am an English author. I write mainly contemporary fiction with quirky characters and have used different genres to reflect my story telling.  

 

My psychological crime thrillers, Hormones and Crumble and Hassle Castle have a dark comic twang that are overshadowed by some diverse and intriguing human characters. 

 

Saving Worms is a romantic comedy that journeys from the tranquillity of the Black Forest in Germany to the historical streets of York.

​

One Christmas in Nuremberg and Christmas on The Law are two original short stories, played out in a traditional and magical Christmas setting.

 

With The Gatehouse Haunting I have explored a new genre altogether. Is the clue in the title or is it something far more sinister?

​

The Gulch is an altogether different book. I'll leave you to make up your own mind.

​

The Grouse Conspiracy visits the beautiful island of Korčula. It explores relationships and awakens memories of a rock'n'roll lifestyle.

​

How the Boars got their Wild is my - and Aunt Eva's - first venture into children's stories. And there is no more magical setting than the Black Forest in Germany. It's now also part of a fun trilogy The Squirrel's Code of Honour capturing more of the squirrels' adventures.

​

On the Musala Pathway is a novel for everyone, and especially those who relish the romance of skiing.

​

As a playwright, I've composed two short monologues Nothing Is What it Seems and The Shadow of Christmas. I've also turned Christmas on the Law into a play. Please check them out at Lazy Bee Scripts.
