Progressive History With A Mystery Twist March ends with its usual mix of delight and deluge. Within days, fear buries the delight and the deluge turns deadly. Suddenly, Sage Adair and his crew must discover and defeat more than one formidable opponent. At stake is the future of their beloved city and country. In the midst of a wild world’s fair, they discover that there are too many killers and too few people to hunt them down. Susan Stoner, writing as S.L. Stoner, is a native Oregonian who was a labor union lawyer for many years. Like that of her series hero, Sage Adair, Stoner's life has tended toward the adventurous. She's worked in skid road bars, Las Vegas casinos, free clinics, as a prisoners' advocate, psychology center videographer, and federal judge's intern. Besides living in Portland, Oregon, Susan has also lived in a forest lean-to, a Sikh home in Singapore, alongside an alligator-infested Louisiana bayou, inside a sweltering Las Vegas tent, in a camper atop a '65 International pick-up truck as well as in a variety of more traditional Houston, Texas, abodes. She was a participant in Portland's original neighborhood movement and has since been involved in citizen activism, like filing and winning a lawsuit to preserve Portland's soon-to-be destroyed historical open reservoirs (one of those "win the battle, lose the war" experiences). She lives with her husband and dog in Southeast Portland when they are not traveling or spending time in the great Cascade Range forests. One of her passions is historical research, particularly that involving original source material. She is currently working on the twelfth book in the award-winning Sage Adair Historical Mystery series. Taking a break from history, she has also written Repercussion, the first novel in the current-day Maggie Kubic mystery series.
