The Consortium is the author's debut book. It is not the only story she has written, but it is her first full-length novel to be published. She has a deep love of fiction and adores blended genres as it tends to keep things interesting. She hails from Texas and has been fortunate enough to have never run into any members of The Consortium (at least, not to her knowledge).

In The Consortium: Genesis by B. A. Chapman, in a dystopian future world, the Consortium—an amalgamation of scientists and their oligarchical donors—is an organization untouchable and inviolate to all oversight by law or government regulation. It conducts scientific experiments far beyond horrendous with despicable cruelty and disdain for the lives of thousands of human guinea pigs. Amelia is one such "inductee," a young woman who endures unspeakable horror, which ultimately creates a surprising result that puts her in a position to destroy the Consortium, a possibility she accepts, even at the risk of losing her own life.
B. A. Chapman bursts onto the scene of science fiction/dystopian horror with the first novel in The Consortium trilogy, Genesis. This story is not only possible but, in many ways, is seemingly inevitable in our future real world. The inroads made by Artificial Intelligence combined with human evil so deranged as to reach the outer limits of graphic and realistic detail are evident. Chapman's word-smithing ability is so advanced as to create fantastic scenes clearly within the scope of that all-important story-writing form of verisimilitude—a sense of reality. As new characters join the plot, Chapman establishes their credibility while maintaining a sense of anticipation for each character's development and internal role within the action, a skill not often seen in first-time authors but evident in Chapman's writing. The Consortium: Genesis is sure to be a hit, and readers of science fiction, horror fans, and followers of dystopian thrillers will eat this up, eager for book two which I also hope will be published sooner than later.
