A recent review of Brambleman, on its Amazon page, from Pat Mason: “Excellent book! I was off guard the entire way through! Grant is an exceptional writer with a vivid imagination. This was a great read, and a great message, although you have to hunt for it.”
(Photo: Col. Charles McGee and me) It was my great honor to meet an American hero this weekend. While traveling in Missouri, I visited my brother Richard, a retired Sergeant Major in the Missouri National Guard who also holds the honor/duty/burden of being the parade boss for Columbia’s Memorial Day Parade. As part of Memorial Day weekend festivities, the city also hosted the two-day Salute to Veterans Air Show at Columbia Regional Airport. Friday evening, Rich took me along to the pre-air show dinner (can you really call it a banquet when everyone’s wearing coveralls?) and introduced me to several of the honorees, including one of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen, Col. Charles McGee (Retired). To find out more about Col. McGee, check out his bio. I also had the…
Book Review “A Real Jewel” lisatompkins I bought this book independently, Brambleman by Jonathan Grant is my first review. While I read this book purely for pleasure, I enjoy well-researched historical fiction, and this was superb. A large story, funny, sad, surprising, truthful, important, and most entertaining, “Brambleman” takes issue with pervasive, decades-old injustice in the South.

My second novel now has 40 reviews on Amazon.com, which seems like a milestone, of sorts. The average rating is 4.5 stars. (It would be 4.6 except for a 1-star review from a hater who lowered her rating to spite me rather than correct errors in her original review, like getting the main character’s name wrong.) Anyway, here’s the the latest review of Brambleman on its Amazon page, by ferri: Amazingly good! I don’t even know where to begin here. This is a long book, as some have pointed out, but that’s not a bad thing in this case! It’s a very complicated story. (Besides. I read Stephen King so long books aren’t a big deal to me!) There is a little bit of everything…
The latest review on Brambleman’s Amazon page: SPRAWLING EPIC “A little bit mystery. A little bit adventure. A little bit history. A little bit social science. All together, a very well written and entertaining read. Trouble in the Ol…d South is confronted by a writer with his own troubles. Exposing the secrets of the powerful family he married into, and often paying a price. A very worthwhile read.” Read more about this award-winning novel.
