Michael Paul Hurd was born in Michigan in 1959. He is the son of Paul S. Hurd and Carolyn J. Hurd (both deceased). Married to his wife, Sandy, since 1980, they have two sons and three grandchildren; however, their eldest son, Adam, passed away from cancer in 2010.
During his formative years, Michael Hurd lived in Michigan, Virginia, and New Hampshire. He graduated from Hopkinton High School, Contoocook, NH, in 1977.
Hurd is a veteran of the United States Air Force, serving from 1978 until 1992, and was Honorably Discharged as a Technical Sergeant. While on active duty, he earned a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Maryland/European Division during an assignment to England. After discharge, he was employed for another 26 years by the United States Government as a civilian and retired in 2018 along with his wife. It is during this time that Hurd developed a love for the written word and the deep research that was needed to author first book, "Lineage." The "Lineage" series was inspired in part by Sara Donati's "Wilderness" series and the many works of James Michener.
The original “Lineage: A Novel” was constructed so that each of the chapters could be spun off into a full-length book.
Michael Hurd is an avid fisherman, has hiked nearly 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail in four states, and is a slow-but-steady road bicyclist. The Hurds currently reside in Maryland, within 10 miles of all three grandchildren. They travel extensively and are huge fans of the Disney Cruise Line.

Lineage
|
This book follows the Harris family through the American Revolution and migration westward to the shores of Lake Ontario. Thomas Harris was the soldier's soldier and was awarded a battlefield commission by General George Washington just before the Battle of Yorktown. Following release from his military obligations and suffering severe hardships, Harris and his family moved westward from Connecticut, across New York State.
As in the first book of the "Lineage" series, the author laid down his own family tree against events in history, as if family members of the period could have participated. This book postulates contacts with the likes of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and others. Unlike the vignette format of the first book in the series, this volume tells a cohesive story about the challenges the Harris family faced during and after the American Revolution.
