Meet The Authors

Hi there, we are three authors who came together to create a children’s picture book series called, Boops’ Character Missions. We are family. John and Leslie are married. Bron is their nephew.

Bron Chapman

Bron is an enlivened new author who co-founded Elegchos, a non-profit created to address issues faced by youth with economic challenges. He has devoted several years to supporting youth in a variety of ways. He uses creativity to inspire youth to become adventure seekers, problem solvers, and to develop strong and open minds. He believes the world will always need innovative solutions and investing in children is a way to ensure these solutions will come to fruition. Bron lives in Texas with his wife Voncile; you can follow him on Instagram @boopscharactermissions.

John Chapman

Renaissance era, Cookie Tree, and Taj Mahal, what do they have in common? These are places John Chapman visited in his imagination through books as a child. Growing up in a small town in rural Mississippi, oftentimes without much to do, books provided a great avenue to dream and escape loneliness. John turned those desires into reality by visiting countries in 5 continents, mostly with his wife, Leslie. After spending many years in research and development, this is his first foray into co-authoring a children’s book.  John hopes to use this book and future ones to entertain, inspire, and encourage children’s imaginations.  He lives in Texas with his wife and three children.

Leslie Chapman

What drives Leslie Chapman to visit 4 continents and over 40 states in the U.S.? Her love for learning and travel. Besides family, these are her passions. As a former educator, teaching came with the job, but her experience extends beyond that, having taught wee ones up through seniors. It is in the fabric of who she is; and when she is playing with her three energetic toddlers, creative learning opportunities, often emerge. She lives in Texas with her husband John and children.
