MURDER IN THE ADIRONDACKS SELECTED FOR CAYUGA 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 Cayuga County N.Y. as the "Cayuga Reads" selection for 2010.

Cayuga 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.

The book was selected for Amsterdam Reads, a similar program in Amsterdam, N.Y. in 2009. Craig will make a presentation to Cayuga Reads in Auburn N.Y. in October 2010.

The book is about the true murder case that Theodore Dreiser used for his novel "An American Tragedy."

 

 

 

 

CRAIG'S NEWEST BOOK

NOW AVAILABLE!

College tuition is increasing faster than gasoline or health care, but the quality of education is declining. For those who attend only for the five years of parties, education is optional. Students have the time of their lives while running up student loan debts that will take decades to pay off.

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 how little they are getting for their money. Half of the freshman class drops out before graduation and much of that tuition money goes for administrative salaries and buildings that have nothing to do with education. It takes six years for the average student to complete a four-year program.

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.

Craig Brandon's 1999 book, The Electric Chair: An Unnatural American History, has been republished by McFarland & Company as a paperback with a brand new cover design, replacing the old, plain, red one.

Craig to Speak at National Student Media Convention

Craig will be one of the featured speakers at the National Student Media Convention in Louisville, Kentucky on Oct. 30.

His goal is to instruct student journalists from colleges around the country on the techniques he used to expose fraud and corruption. Among his topics will be bloated administrative salaries, kickback schemes, devalued diplomas, dumbed-down classes and expensive building programs that have nothing to do with education.

Craig was a member of the College Media Adisors, a professional organization that sponsors the convention, for a decade and lectured in the past on interviewing techniques.
