During the tour Kelly and Tara are going to be raising money for Strengthen Our Sisters. Two years ago Tara wrote a novella based on the life and work of Sandra Ramos, founder of Strengthen Our Sisters, the nation's first battered women's shelter. This year, after more than thirty years in existence, and with ten houses filled to capacity with battered women and their children, Srengthen our Sisters has lost $400,000.00 in donations. Staff members are working without pay to try to keep the battered women in homes. Sandra will be making guest 'appearances' on The Chapman File blog tour.
You can Donate Here!
The tour ends on December 4th with a launch party/charity event bash in Phoenix, Arizona to celebrate the release of The Fourth Victim and to raise money for Strengthen Our Sisters. We'll be giving away 200 autographed books! And announcing the winners of the tour prizes! The party is going to be broadcast live online by Harlequin and MIRA Books so everyone can join us!

Meet Psychologist Dr. Kelly Chapman:
“I hadn’t started out with any desire to be an expert witness. And certainly not one who got calls from every state in the union. That hadn’t been my goal. Still wasn’t. But our purposes in life weren’t always clear to us, were they?”
On Her life:
“Bottom line was, trauma didn’t punch a time clock. So neither did I.”
In one of her better moments regarding caller ID:
“I mean, what if it was my father’s number and I let out a ‘what do you want?’ and it turned out to be a cop using my dad’s phone to call and tell me Dad was dead on the side of the road?”
Regarding her addiction:
"I couldn't find a pencil that hadn't been chewed on. So what if the existing ones bore all my own teeth marks. Sometimes a girl just needed fresh wood."
On a case:
"I didn't get angry often. But I was angry. Well and truly, one hundred percent angry. The slime ball was going down. Way, way, way down."
