Chapin’s World

Chapin’s World is purely a figment of the author’s warped imagination, so please don’t report him to the authorities because there is nothing that can be done. He was born thinking like this. And, it was inevitable that his mind would be unleashed upon an unsuspecting public.

Chapin’s World, subtitled A Mid Amid is a book-of-life as seen through the green, ‘mid-life’ eyes of a member of a highly exploited (as of yet, unentitled) minority - redheads! It is a collection of humorous short stories of the author’s early life, family camping-trip shenanigans, vacation pranks and mishaps, and how he grew to be ‘mid’ in America’s Heartland. His light-hearted style allows the reader a chance to experience unpleasant circumstances with humor, and to tag along as he turns the most simple of situations into full-blown calamities.
Chapin’s narrative of his childhood reads like a tale by a modern day Samuel Clemens. The stories progress randomly through his life to include ‘mid-- with -- kid.’

Chapin’s World will drag you along with Chapin, his family, and a few ‘less-than role model’ friends into, but not out of ‘mid-life.’ the author is determined to find your funny bone even if he has to use a chainsaw. A Mid Amid contains twenty-seven mildly amusing, yet wildly outrageous tales by the ‘Master of Personal Disaster.’

In case you are unaware of Chapin’s writing style, he has used the formula of mixing equal, half-portions of wit and narrative. Chapin has now become quite distinguished for his ‘half-wit’ humor. But, such is Chapin’s World. If you or a loved one is struggling through the ‘mid-life’ crisis (or if you just have the strange urge to help a confessed liar succeed) then Chapin’s World - A Mid Amid is surely required reading.
