The Price of Liberty and the Sunday Papers
Tuesday, September 7, 2010 - 08:20 amHow was your Labor Day weekend? Mine was very pleasant, and not only because of my trip to Fermilab.
“a story about the two most powerful institutions in the United States . . . ganging up on an innocent man. It’s Kafka.”
Saturday, August 28, 2010 - 09:01 amAnother chilling story of false accusation: that of Steven Hatfill, a suspect in the anthrax attacks. In "The Wrong Man" (The Atlantic), David Freed details the FBI's "detective myopia." Unable to find hard evidence or a better suspect, they leaned hard on Hatfill, hoping he'd screw up or confess. They nearly ruined his life without strengthening their case.
More Praise for The Price of Liberty
Thursday, August 26, 2010 - 20:36 pmI just received an advance galley from ForeWord Reviews. Reviewer Mary Popham wrote so many nice sentences that I'm not sure which one is my favorite. To give you an idea of my problem:
"Keir Graff is an accomplished writer." (I mean, really, she had me at hello.)
"His book’s foundation is strong and reliable, firmly constructed with setting and character; it prepares the reader for the swift-moving plot."
Unfunny Foto Follies
Monday, August 23, 2010 - 09:44 amAlert reader Carol in Chicago sent me a link to the New York Times article "Picture This, and Risk Arrest," by Jim Dwyer, noting a strong similarity to the opening chapters of My Fellow Americans:
What am I reading?

Funny you should ask. I was just raving about that on Writers Read:
Can The Price of Liberty pass the Page 69 Test?
Monday, August 16, 2010 - 21:24 pmIt depends on who's grading, I guess. Marshal Zeringue asked me to take the exam, and I was happy to comply. He's very trusting—I didn't even have a proctor! You can see my report card at The Page 69 Test.
Hometown Press
Friday, August 6, 2010 - 11:32 amAs I pack my bags for Montana, it's nice to see some hometown press. In "Thrill Seeker," Jay Stevens reviews The Price of Liberty for the Missoula Independent:

Just Your Luck: The "Joe's Luck" E-book Is Free
Monday, August 2, 2010 - 15:20 pmSo I contributed to a fun project launched by Jason Boog at Galleycat. Inspired by the very entertaining Star Wars Uncut, he asked a bunch of writers to take a page from Horatio Alger's 100-year-old novel, Joe's Luck: Always Wide Awake, and retell it.
If This Takes the Place of My Annual Review, That's Fine with Me
Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - 20:21 pmI've already quoted from this but, after admiring it on the home page of Booklist Online, thought I'd post a link. "Books by Booklist Authors: Keir Graff's The Price of Liberty" may have been written by my boss, Bill Ott, but that doesn't make me feel any less good about it. There are a lot of people whose bosses won't say anything nice about them, much less put it in writing and publish it for all the world to see. I'm fairly bursting my buttons.
