About Mark James Chappell
Mark James Chappell is a writer who is not afraid to tell a story. He rises to the task.
"Books don't write themselves. I get up early and stay late. Some of what I write I just throw away so I can put together a story that I think is worth reading. When I go to a movie or buy a book, I don't like to feel that I just payed a lot for crap. I want to be entertained for my money. I hope you will be entertained by Man's Best Friend."
Chappell's comic prose intertwines with emotional storytelling and exciting personal relations that expand the characters beyond the words of the pages. You will wish some of his characters would just walk into your room.
Mark tramped around New York, Hawaii, Florida and California tending bar and playing guitar in his retirement years between the ages of 18 and 35. He lived on his yacht Casa Del Mar during the nineties and has sailed his own boats since he was a boy of 10. Man's Best Friend is the first in a series of recent pursuits, with work waiting in the wings for the follow-up. Look for, RICH WHITE: SAILING WITH AMERICAN NEGROES. A racy story with sailing adventure at its core.
