Jack the Ripper at Last? The Mysterious Murders of George Chapman

2) What inspired you to devise the research book, ‘Jack the Ripper, at last?’? It started as a local history project, because George Chapman lived here in Hastings, England, for a while.
3) In your own words, how would you describe this story? It's a gruesome tale of three pointless, mysterious murders, with a twist in the tail because while on Death Row the policeman who had charge of the Jack the Ripper murders stated publicly that he thought Chapman was the Ripper.
4) If ‘At Last’ was a song, what song would it be and why? Papa Roach "Getting Away with Murder", for pretty obvious reasons.
5) If you could get a celebrity – either living or dead – to promote your wares, what person would you get, and why would you want to choose this particular person? Chief Inspector Abberline, because he thought Chapman was Jack the Ripper, and this would be pretty good for sales!
6) What have you learned about yourself during this venture? That I am an incurable perfectionist.
7) During your time in this field, what is the one thing that has kept you in good stead? My natural drive to root out every source and then to root out every typo!
8) If your book had a credo, what would it be? Don't drink the brandy. Ha!
Ohhhh! What an enigmatic note to end on! In fact, this note's so enigmatic, dear readers, I'd encourage you to check out ‘Jack the Ripper, at last?’ today! Go on. Chop-chop. Before Jack decides to stab back.
