Historical Research, Peak Author Moments: A HOSTAGE TO HERITAGE, Book Tour Stops 5 and 6

Posted on April 26, 2013 by AdminOctober 20, 2013

Author Jenny Milchman asks, “How did I know I’d made it?” as an author. The Irish in me feels compelled to answer her question with a question, then follows that with two stories. Stop by her blog today after noon EST to see what I mean.

My second stop today is a return visit to the Writers Who Kill blog. Author Warren Bull has posted a review of A Hostage to Heritage, and he has a few questions for me about the research I do for my books. Check it out.

Creating Tension Without Using Gratuitous Violence: A HOSTAGE TO HERITAGE, Book Tour Stop 4

Posted on April 25, 2013 by AdminOctober 20, 2013

How far do crime fiction authors need to take violence in their stories to generate sufficient tension? Over on Mysteristas today, I have some ideas about getting the point across in a wartime setting without going overboard. Stop by and see if you agree with me.

A Hostage to Heritage just received its fourth five-star review on Amazon. “Ms. Adair truly deserves to be called the ‘Mistress of American Revolution historical fiction,’” says the reviewer. Oh, my. I’ll take that tiara. Thank you!

Release Day for A HOSTAGE TO HERITAGE, Book Tour Stop 1

Posted on April 22, 2013 by AdminOctober 20, 2013

It’s Release Day for A Hostage to Heritage! Huzzah! The book is available as a paperback and in multiple ebook formats (Kindle, Nook, iTunes, Kobo).

A boy kidnapped for ransom. And a madman who didn’t bargain on Michael Stoddard’s tenacity.

Spring 1781. The American Revolution enters its seventh grueling year. In Wilmington, North Carolina, redcoat investigator Lieutenant Michael Stoddard expects to round up two miscreants before Lord Cornwallis’s army arrives for supplies. But his quarries’ trail crosses with that of a criminal who has abducted a high-profile English heir. Michael’s efforts to track down the boy plunge him into a twilight of terror from radical insurrectionists, whiskey smugglers, and snarled secrets out of his own past in Yorkshire.

Today is also Stop 1 of the A Hostage to Heritage blog tour. I’m a guest on Jean Henry Mead’s Mysterious Writers blog, talking about the creative process and where all those redcoats come from. Please stop by and say hello.
