Whistling Past the Graveyard in the Chicago Tribune

August 23, 2013 By Susan Crandall Web Admin Leave a Comment

Whistling Past the Graveyard Book CoverSusan Crandall and Whistling Past the Graveyard are mentioned along Chuck Klosterman’s latest, I Wear the Black Hat in a Chicago Tribune article entitled “There is evil in the world … and good!”

Article author Liz Smith says of Whistling Past the Graveyard:

“I just closed a new book by the prolific Susan Crandall (she has written nine novels!) It is titled “Whistling Past the Graveyard” and is the latest pride and joy of its publishers — again, Simon and Schuster. This is a work of imagination in the mind of a 9-year-old child that might remind you of Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” or Kathryn Stockett’s “The Help.”

It’s a real winner!”

Not too shabby! The entire article is an interesting read, as Smith weaves events from Whistling, I Wear the Black Hat and 30 Rock to tell tales of good and evil from her own life. It’s worth a look if you’ve got the time.

Susan Crandall in Chicago

We’d be remiss to mention the Tribune and leve out Susan’s upcoming visit to the Book Cellar in Chicago on September 27, 2013. She will be doing a reading and a signing in her old stomping grounds (she lived in Chicago for seven years almost a lifetime ago)! Event details can be found on the 9-27-2013 Book Cellar event page here at SusanCrandall.net.

New Susan Crandall Website

August 17, 2013 By Susan Crandall Web Admin 2 Comments

New Susan Crandall Author WebsiteWelcome to the new and improved Susan Crandall Author Website! We have all the same old stuff, and will be adding more ad time goes on, all with a great new look and feel.

The change was forced in part by the success of Whistling Past the Graveyard and the increased traffic it has brought to SusanCrandall.net. The increased attention has been great for the most part, but as always, a few bad apples can ruin the bunch. With the increased traffic, the website became much more appetizing for internet spammers who sent their bots to sign up for user accounts to try to bombard all of our good readers with their less-than-appropriate advertising messages. We’ve bee able to keep it off the site, but was becoming a fairly time intensive process to do so. So we upgraded! Now they should be stopped automatically (for the most part) from even signing up for an account.

Unfortunately, in the change, we lost most of the user profiles we previously had. If you’re among those who lost their profile, we truly apologize, and ask that you take a few moments to sign up for a new account, or simply start signing in using one of your social network accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads or Google Plus (does anyone use Google Plus?).

So welcome, and we hope you participate in the conversation as the buzz surrounding Whistling Past the Graveyard continues to grow!

The site is still under construction, so if you have any problems or suggestions for things you’d like to see, please send a message to content@susancrandall.net.
