Welcome to The Requiem Red

Hi! Welcome to the world of Requiem Red.

To understand why my words come out like they do...let me share a little about my life.

By day, I am a pediatric therapist--but in the past I have worked in neurology, hand therapy, and done psych rotations. I have Asperger’s in my family--and work with autism every day.

My life has been...eclectic, to say the least. I am MENSA eligible--but have never applied...I have a near eidetic memory for music and hear it spatially--at least with an orchestra. I have dissected cadavers, including fishing through troughs of arms and legs, have toured asylums and walked through cemeteries and history walks in St. Simons, Charleston, Gettysburg, Salem and many others in the name of research.

I am a member of Romance Writers of America and Horror Writers...and that, in a nutshell, summarizes my novels.

Jane, a musical virtuoso, was admitted to Soothing Hills Asylum at the tender age of three.


She has synethesia, a combining of the senses--she sees music in color. And...when a particular type of music appears in her brain, one that is only red, she hears voices.

For this, she was admitted, and here she has stayed...alone, bereft of touch or love.

As I analyze the root of the book, Jane’s childhood suffering comes from what I see everyday as a pediatric therapist...and what I have seen in psych wards myself.

Historically, no matter the area, when an unexplainable phenomenon occurred, people were either jailed, incarcerated, accused of witchcraft or hung. No burning of witches, at least not in Salem. That was Europe’s deal, lol.

So….Jane is brilliant, misunderstood and incomprehensibly lonely. Until a new orderly arrives...to change her life forever.

Please, walk alongside her...down frozen corridors, and through horrible treatments--flee from the Soothing Hills Monster, and root for her to win.

Win the orderly’s heart, win back her mind, and her freedom.


Welcome, to Requiem Red.

Patient Twenty-nine.

A monster roams the halls of Soothing Hills Asylum. Three girls dead. 29 is endowed with the curse…or gift of perception. She hears messages in music, sees lyrics in paintings. And the corn. A lifetime asylum resident, the orchestral corn music is the only constant in her life.

Mason, a new, kind orderly, sees 29 as a woman, not a lunatic. And as his belief in her grows, so does her self- confidence. That perhaps she might escape, might see the outside world.

But the monster has other plans. The missing girl's share one common thread...each was twenty-nine's cell mate.

Will she be next?


Born and raised in western Pennsylvania, Brynn Chapman is the daughter of two teachers. Her writing reflects her passions: science, history and love—not necessarily in that order. In real life, the geek gene runs strong in her family, as does the Asperger’s syndrome. Her writing reflects her experience as a pediatric therapist and her interactions with society’s downtrodden. In fiction, she’s a strong believer in underdogs and happily-ever-afters. She also writes non-fiction and lectures on the subjects of autism and sensory integration and is a medical contributor to online journal The Age of Autism.
