CRANDELL
A middle class American kid who marched with Martin Luther King when he gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, Crandell got wounded in Vietnam and came home with a thousand stories. The war gave him a bone-deep understanding of why honor and integrity are life-and-death concerns. An Ohio native, he completed my doctorate in American History with a study of McCarthyism and Republican politics. Smartest thing he ever did was marry author Judith Speizer Crandell, my best friend and a terrific writer. His short story, “The Last Lootenant Wins His Fuckin’ Medal” won best short story nationally in 2019. His first novel in my Griffin detective series, Let’s Say Jack Kennedy Killed the Girl, is out from Hawkshaw Press summer 2021. Follow Crandell on his blog.
