Bill Branyon is a free-lance historian who has written three books: Asheville NC, circa 2,000 AD - a historical faction about Asheville politics and culture; and the nonfiction book, Liberating Liberals: a political synthesis of Nietzsche and Jesus, Vonnegut and Marx (Groucho, not Karl) and Gandhi and Machiavelli; and now the new Billy Graham's Glorious Jam. For the last twenty years Bill has been a staff reporter and editorialist for Asheville's liberal weekly, the "Mountain Xpress." He has a Masters degree in history from WCU, and a BA in history from Vanderbilt. He's run for mayor, walked for peace, and is a hyper-activist - when not lazily lounging.
