October 2.

It was supposed to be a quiet retirement. One minute Hal Nellis, former air force fighter pilot, is mowing his lawn; the next, he finds himself drafted to fight interstellar pirates set on sacking Earth and other backwater worlds. With no governments rich enough to patrol all of space, it's up to the commercial shippers to protect themselves via the civilian Merchants' Unity fleet.

When the pirate ships acted independently, the Unity had no trouble keeping them under control. But when the pirates organized to better coordinate their activities, they became an unstoppable force, pushing the underfunded Unity to the brink of collapse and leaving backwater worlds like Earth defenseless.

As one of the rare humans with the hypertasking gene, Hal is able to pilot the best the Unity has to offer. With his help, and that of Captain Kalen Jeffries—the son of human slaves—the remaining ships of the Unity plan a last-ditch effort to break the pirate hegemony. Succeed, and the pirate organization is crushed forever; fail, and the people of Earth and other backwater worlds are doomed to slavery and death.

Readers love My Other Car is a Spaceship!

There's a reason MY OTHER CAR IS A SPACESHIP has been consistently #1 or #2 on Amazon's list of military sci-fi titles for almost two weeks. There aren't a lot of reader reviews yet on Amazon, but most of them are 4- and 5-stars. Here are some of them:


“Spell binding read that keeps you turning the pages. Great action adventure with a space opera theme. Well developed characters with a true sense of duty and honor.” *****Five Stars*****—Kendrick Knight


“Very Satisfying. "My Other Car is a Spaceship" reads like a good effort from a top writer. The science fiction is plausible, the dialogue is believable, the plot and backstory are well-crafted. Mr Chapman keeps the action going, offers up some good jokes, a couple of homages - all in all, a very satisfying read. I recommend this book and I will read more from this author.” *****Five Stars*****—Stoney “stoney”


“I loved it. Almost nonstop action from Chapter 3 on. The action sequences are exciting and the banter between the two main characters is funny. The good guys somehow manage to win despite impossible odds. There are battle sequences aplenty, guerilla warfare, and lots of ingenuity displayed by the heroes,(and the author). A great read. I couldn't put it down.” *****Five Stars*****—Russ Allen


“Fast paced and keeps your interest. Hal is smart, and a great hero who thinks fast on his feet[;] teamed with the captain and the Dr. They are an unbeatable team.” *****Five Stars*****—Amazon Customer


"A very enjoyable, action pack[ed] military [SF] against pirates. Well worth buying. I started and could not stop reading it. I will definitely buy the next book in the series." *****Five Stars*****—Robert P Lowrey


“Great read. Good story, I would have renamed the ship "Merrys Revenge". Want to know which ship I am referring too? You will just have to read this entertaining book to find out. Anxiously waiting book two.” *****Five Stars*****—David W. Kohn


“I found this book very interesting, and hard to put down. There is almost non stop action from about the fourth chapter. I've taken away a star for a couple of cuss-words, but other than that this was a good read. I'd recommend this to science fiction fans.” ****Four Stars****—Jacob Ward


“[G]ood fun old fashioned Space-Opera. [I]t is a good fun tour d' force. I enjoyed the read, and I will read the next book in the series.” ****Four Stars****—Texican “headhunter”


“[T]he author has done a great job with the story line and characters. ... I had a ha[r]d time putting it down after the third chapter.” ****Four Stars****—Dave R

My interview by Fiona Mcvie

I had an interesting experience recently. Blogger Fiona Mcvie asked if I would consider being interviewed by her. Being something of a ham and, by necessity due to my books, an attention-whore, of course I said yes. :)

It's not a hard-hitting, tell-all expose, but if you're curious about the life of a writer, you might find it interesting. Here's the link to Fiona's blog. (Thanks, Fiona!)

My Other Car is a Spaceship is a Top 10 bestseller

My Other Car is a Spaceship 
reached #8 on Amazon's Military Sci-Fi Top 100 list and #9 on the Space Opera list. :)  Get'm while they're hot! The introductory price expires soon!  http://smarturl.it/MyOtherCarSpaceship.

My Other Car is a Spaceship is still climbing the charts

Still at Dragon Con in Atlanta this weekend. Still having a blast! And my sci-fi thriller, My Other Car is a Spaceship, continues to climb the Amazon charts. It's currently at #16 in the Military Sci-Fi list and #19 in the Space Opera list. Here's the link for 12 Amazon sites around the world: http://smarturl.it/MyOtherCarSpaceship.

Here's the finished, hi-res cover for My Other Car is a Spaceship

This beautiful cover was created by a talented artist from the Czech Republic, named Adam Pizurny. Click on the image to see it in all its glory.

Here's the NEW COVER for My Other Car is a Spaceship

So what do you think of the new cover vs. the old one? The old one was more colorful, but the new one is more exciting:

This is the difference between a serviceable but basic cover made by the author (due to time constraints) and one made by a professional artist. :) While the old cover was vague as to what the book was about, I think the new one does a much better job of showing that it's military SF/space opera.

Here's the link to the book on 12 Amazon websites around the world: http://smarturl.it/MyOtherCarSpaceship  The Amazon page still has the old cover. It'll take a day or so for the new one to filter down to all the sales pages.

My Other Car is a Spaceship is rocketing up the charts!

*** Update! This morning the book reached #29 on the Military Sci-fi list and #32 on the Space Opera list! ***
