H.B. Chapman is author of the series, Magic Investigations Society Archive. Her broad creative and commercial background, which spans the computer games industry, marketing, content creation, copywriting, theatre making, and grant writing, has influenced her love for narratives that hook but offer something genuine. In writing her debut series, this eclectic working life merged with her interest in fantasy pop culture and fiction. Throughout her formative years, she was in awe of the powerful use of metaphoric universes in storytelling to transcend real-world preconceptions and resonate with people on an existential level.

 

The Magic Investigations Society Archive is a genre-blending series. It ramps up the pulse of a paranormal cozy with a little more adventure and larger-scale worldbuilding, leaning into fantasy, and all while remaining warm and fuzzy. The tone is playful, the content clean, the plots twisting, the danger magical, and the people humane. H.B loves cats, super-dark chocolate, dancing, impromptu dress-ups, and ugly cars (except Fiat Multipla—that’s going too far). She lives in Australia with her wonderful partner, two cats, a stash of dark chocolate, a box of costumes (for you-never-know-when), and…her little, red, ugly car.
