William Grigg

While writing on medicine, space and civil rights to helping edit a Pulitzer Prize-winning series, WILLIAM GRIGG and wife MARTHA LIVDAHL (nick-named Livingdoll) have shown what best-selling author Rick Pullen calls "WIT and STYLE." The Washington Post's John Burgess calls it "fabulous prose." .The Griggs' new novels include BRAVERY, LOVE AND MADNESS. It tells how rampant Covid in New York forces a Black publishing assistant to flee to small-town Virginia, where she must write about an FFV, a "first family of Virginia." Heroine Kathy thinks Indians formed the first families from whom this present family probably stole the land, and then enslaved her ancestors to farm it! But she finds the family progressive, with one member quite ready to take her to bed. But there are dark secrets they don't want Kathy to learn and reveal. Some would rather let the book die, and maybe Kathy too, she fears, rather than have the truth be known.

Bill has written a cosy mystery that a Claymore Review critic said "attractively movef the eccentric English cast of an Agatha Christy classic to the U.S. workplace." The book is A PERFECTLY NATURAL MURDER, about a sexual blackmailer's murder at an insurance company dinner. Naturally many are glad she's dead but the host couple gets blamed FOR COOKING A POISON DINNER. They must discover the real murderer, or end up victims themselves!

Martha has written the medical guide, BREAST CANCER AND YOU, and a best-selling federal publication on breast iimplants. Bill has covered the Senate and been a key federal spokesman on medical issues at FDA and NIH, winning numerous Blue Pencil awards and federal press citations.
