Under the Awning Book Signing
Brandon Van Hees - July 20, 2025

Brandon Van Hees
I live in Buffalo, MN and have been a writer since 2020. I've written 2 novels, "Madness Reigns" and "In the Shadow of Dallas". I am also a painter, specializing in landscapes primarily, using spray paint and acrylics.
I'm married to my beautiful wife Jodi, and I have a 22-year-old daughter.
I was inspired to write my first book by my father, who is also an author, and my daughter, who loves to write. I wanted to write something but just didn't know how to get started. My first book uses some life experiences as a drummer mixed with knowledge I've gained over the years about the music world. I'm incredibly proud of that book. The second book wasn't really planned, but the idea came to me to use my over 30 years of JFK assassination study to write a fictional story set in today's time, using Kennedy's assassination as a backdrop.
