Louise Katherine Chapman was born in Somerset, UK, in 1986. She studied Psychology at the University of Southampton before working as a psychologist designing personality questionnaires for a consultancy company.
She published her first book, Networked, in 2014- a science-fiction novel that challenges what it means to have a human life; calling into question our ideas about happiness, mortality and the meaningfulness of our existence. In the story, LK Chapman draws on her own experiences of depression- and in particular how it affects a romantic relationship- to inspire the fictional account of depression that runs through the book. Her second novel, psychological thriller Anything for Him was published in 2016, and follows the attempt of a deeply troubled man to get revenge on the friend he claims stole his first girlfriend and ruined his life.
LK Chapman lives in Hampshire, with her husband and young family.

The relationship between Nick, Lily and Dan is one that has been long in the making. It is one that they are incapable of changing and that they don’t actually want to change. But one night, while they are working on their latest video game design, everything changes. Affrayed was supposed to be their big ticket to fame and fortune, but when their design is stolen and improved they aren’t sure what to think. It’s only after they decide to take the credit and the money and publish the game that everything starts to change. Interface has claimed responsibility for the game (though only to them) and he’s making changes that they didn’t authorize. Changes to the game, and changes to them.
I was drawn into Networked by LK Chapman very quickly. There's a little bit of romance but the story is more than that. There’s so much going on that you really just can’t stop reading. You find yourself completely fascinated by everything that’s happening and by the characters. They seem so real and everything they’re going through is so realistic that it’s really amazing to read. It’s been a while since I have been this drawn into a book and wanted to read it as badly as I wanted to read this one. It’s definitely one you will be talking about with your friends. Interface is an amazing character and the way that Lily, Nick and Dan interact with him and with each other is great. I loved the descriptions, and the way the author makes you really feel like you’re right there with the characters, and how so many things are happening all at once will really amaze you.
