Colleen Bradford Krantz spent a decade reporting for daily newspapers such as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and The Des Moines Register. Now an independent journalist, Colleen has written her first book, "Train to Nowhere; Inside an Immigrant Death Investigation." The book was the starting point for an award-winning documentary of the same name, which Colleen wrote and co-produced. She lives in central Iowa with her husband and three children.
I spent the day with Colleen and 35 fellow authors at the 2nd annual Great Iowa Book Event in Des Moines, Iowa. What a joy to share thoughts and ideas with Colleen. Her book Train to Nowhere is an interesting and truly eye opening experience of well investagitive reporting transferred to print. Take time to look her book up, read it and view the documentary and I think you will be very glad you did. An excellent author and story teller, Colleen's DVD will tell you the story, up close and personal.
