Kevin G. Chapman

Kevin G. Chapman is, by day, a buttoned-down corporate labor & employment lawyer who works for a major US media company. He frequently speaks at Continuing Legal Education seminars, has taught legal writing to law students, and is the past chairperson of the Labor & Employment division of the global Association of Corporate Counsel. When the work day is done, however, Kevin lives a much more exciting fictional life of crime and romance as the author of the award-winning Mike Stoneman Thriller series (and other novels, short stories, and screenplays). When not busy writing, he enjoys playing tournament poker and cheering on his beloved New York Mets.

Kevin’s latest novel, Dead Winner, is a stand-alone mystery/thriller/romance set in New York City. Now available in paperback and hardcover, the Kindle edition is now on pre-order with a distribution date of November 22, 2022. Kevin also recently published a short story called The Car, the Dog & the Girl, which is a humorous thriller about a wannabe gangster and his misadventure on what should have been a simple job.

The awards are still coming in for Kevin’s five-book Mike Stoneman Thriller series. This crime-thriller series of police procedurals includes the WINNER of the 2021 Kindle Book Award (Book #3, Lethal Voyage) and the WINNER of the CLUE Award for best police procedural of the year (book #4, Fatal Infraction). Find all the Mike Stoneman Thrillers on Amazon.

Kevin has also written several short stories, including Fool Me Twice, the winner of the New Jersey Corporate Counsel Association's 2012 Legal Fiction Writing Competition, which was the genesis of the character Mike Stoneman, the protagonist in Righteous Assassin.  Fool Me Twice is available as a stand-alone short story free on Amazon (and most other ebook retail sites), or you can get it free from Kevin’s website.

Kevin is a resident of Central New Jersey and is a graduate of Columbia College (‘83) and Boston University School of Law (’86). Kevin loves talking fiction with readers or talking law, politics, or baseball.
