MURDER IN THE ADIRONDACKS SELECTED FOR AMSTERDAM READS

"Murder in the Adirondacks," Craig's 1986 book about the Chester Gillette - Grace Brown murder case of 1906 was chosen by the readers of Amsterdam, N.Y. as the "Amsterdam Reads" selection for 2009.

Amsterdam Reads is a pro-literacy group that selects a book by popular vote and its members then read the book and share their comments at public meetings.

CRAIG'S NEWEST BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED IN JULY

"The Five-Year Party" is about the dumbed-down classes and inflated grades at the hundreds of party schools in America, where education is optional and students attend, not to learn anything, but to buy a diploma and have the time of their lives.

Based on five years of research and Craig's 12 years of experience at a party school in New England, it's written for parents who have no idea what they are getting for the very high price of college tuition.

After graduation, students who were promised high paying jobs are forced to take high school level jobs while paying off tens of thousands of dollars in college loans. To read more about it, check out the Five Year Party page.
