Author Biography
Author
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 two dogs in Southeast Portland when they are not traveling or hanging out 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 tenth book in the award-winning Sage Adair Historical Mystery series as well as on the first book of a yet-to-be-named new series.

Sage Adair Historical Mysteries
|
Bitter Cry is the eighth novel in the Sage Adair historical mystery series set in the early 1900's. Once again, we have an action-packed mystery that uses actual historical facts of social concern. Sage Adair, an undercover operative for the labor movement, is waiting to learn his next assignment when a young newsboy crosses his path. What follows is a journey into the dark corners of Sage's own past and into a present that includes, kidnapping, murder, and greed.
When his heart gets captured by an earnest, elfin face, Sage finds himself battling child labor exploitation. What was life like for the impoverished child working as a newsboy, messenger, or childminder? Sage finds out, one heart tug at time. Fortunately, others he encounters show him, and us, that hope is found in the actions of the progressives. Many of the story's characters are based on actual progressives, people who changed the course of history.
