Suzanne Reese’s Review of Hidden Branch

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Reviews

My favorite thing about G.G. Vandagriff’s ‘The Hidden Branch’ is that it doesn’t try to take itself too seriously. The character of Briggie is as fun as her name sounds. She’s a senior lady who lands in jail more than once, yet none of her friends seem nonplussed by the news. And even though the [...]

Kathi Oram Petersen’s Review of Hidden Branch

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Reviews

Do you want a fun read with lots of intrigue that has sleuthing by two wonderful main characters who would rival Agatha Christie’s Poirot? Well I’ve found it in G.G. Vandagriff’s book The Hidden Branch. This book is just plain fun! Not only does the mystery of the novel twist and turn, but so does [...]

A Peek Into the Mind and Heart of a Great Talent–C.S. Bezas

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Interviews

GG:  When I visited you last summer and you were so gracious to offer me bed and breakfast, etc. during my Idaho Signing Trip, I became aware you are possessed with more talents than the average person dreams of:  You are an accomplished speaker (EFY, keynote presenter, workshop facilitator, etc.), you are a musical composer, [...]

Gratitude

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Spiritual Musings

Since this is the week of Thanksgiving, it is fitting that I should have an experience that makes me extremely grateful for my health and for modern medicine.  As most of my readers know, I had a complete hip replacement last May.  I am still not completely recovered and it was one of if not [...]

You will laugh out loud at some of the entries, find some great ideas to spice things up at your house, stop feeling guilty about your FHE "failures," and be inspired by the [...]

A New Contest!

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in contest

The Last Waltz is being read in 3 book clubs that I know of in January: 2 in Colorado and 1 in California. I had nothing to do with setting these up, other than putting a book club page on TLW website (http://last-waltz.com). The book lends itself to book clubs really well because when people [...]

An Amazing Majority!

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Fan Input

When I asked for votes on the order my characters should appear in The Crazy Ladies of Oakwood: Part One–The Florentine Escapade (or Escapade in Tuscany?) I was amazed to find that every single respondent chose McKenzie as the first character to be presented.  The really odd thing about it is that each of my [...]
