This week’s guest is Kevin G. Chapman, Assistant General Counsel at Dow Jones and Company, and crime fiction author.&#160;Kevin is a labor and employment lawyer who started out in law firms. But, for the last 27 years he has been in-house counsel having started out at The Wall Street Journal. He has resided in Central New Jersey for that long too.&#160;As a lawyer, Kevin writes a LOT. But it was when he got laid off from a firm 5 years after finishing law school that he started writing his first fiction novel, Identity Crisis which he published via a small publishing house. His next book took 10 years to complete and was self-published. &#160;We get into how he approached writing differently when he decided to write for the purpose of selling his work starting with his first crime fiction novel, Righteous Assassin.&#160;Also, how he went about learning to market his novels and the business of self-publishing. Kevin has written an entire crime fiction series focused around the main character he created, NYPD Detective Mike Stoneman. One of those novels, Lethal Voyage, was even a Kindle Book Award finalist in 2021!Hear about what Kevin is working on next and the communities he is a part of both as an independent author and as in-house counsel.&#160;He also plays tournament poker!&#160;Note from Rabiah (Host):&#160;I have not read Kevin’s books yet but I’m very curious about Mike Stoneman so that’ll happen soon. I intended too but time just didn’t allow it. One thing that came up in our chat was that Kevin is a member of an author community. I have learned so much about how important community is and it is more prominent in my life than it used to be. It has been a theme of this podcast too. I’d love to hear what communities listeners are a part of.&#160;+++++&#160;Find KevinWebsite: kevingchapman.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MikeStoneman/posts/865325540547293/&#160;Mike Stoneman Box Set: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SS8XL44&#160;Lethal Voyage, winner of the 2021 Kindle Book Award: http://getbook.at/lethal_voyage&#160;&#160;+++++&#160;Mentioned in this episode:Dow Jones: https://www.dowjones.com/&#160;Xlibris Publishing: https://www.xlibris.com/en&#160;Jencey Keeton Episode of More Than Work: https://www.rabiahsaid.com/podcast/s5e8-jencey-keeton&#160;Chanticleer Book Reviews: https://www.chantireviews.com/&#160;In the intro:Yard Act: https://yardactors.com/ Ann Liu Cannon: https://linktr.ee/annliuTrue Strays: https://www.truestrays.com/&#160;+++++&#160;More than Work Facebook, Instagram, Twitter: @morethanworkpod Please review and follow anywhere you get podcasts.
