Author: Dr Eva Maria Chapman

I have had successful careers as a secondary school teacher, psychotherapist, academic researcher (PhD), Enlightenment Master, a business woman (NES) and now a smallholder. I became an author as a result of nursing my stepfather, Sasha, for the last 2 years of his life. After a 33-year estrangement we totally forgave each other. He unburdened the harrowing story of his Jewish family in Ukraine in WW2 and died a happy man. This led me to write Sasha & Olga (2006, Lothian Books, Australia) -and launched my new career as a writer: Russian Roulette 20:20, (a 10K SF story in Shine) Solaris 2010; From Russia to Love, Robson Press 2012; Butterflies & Demons historic fiction about the Adelaide Aborigines and the latest Sexy at 70 - A Spiritual Quest (both seeking publishers). My husband Jake and I grow a vast organic garden of vegetables and fruits, rear chickens for food and eggs and run two electric solar-powered cars, one being a fabulous Tesla. We are living the dream and enjoying our retirement.
