Praise for the Sage Adair Historical Mystery Series of the Pacific Northwest
Most Recent Review . . .
Adair is a likable and realistic anchor for this well-written, smartly plotted historical mystery series that blends real and fictional people and events. The series is still accumulating a loyal fan base, but each novel brings it closer to the wide acclaim it deserves. — David Pitt, American Library Association Booklist Review, 2014 May Issue
Dry Rot is a riveting blend of history and mystery that should prove so very hard to put down, highly recommended. Midwest Book Reviews
Recommended Best Books on Portland: S.L. Stoner's historical mysteries, set in 19th and early 20th century Portland. The hero of the series is named Sage Adair, and the titles include Timber Beasts and Land Sharks. L.A. Times West
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had London. George Simeon had Paris. S. L. Stoner has Portland in the early 1900's. Her detective, Sage Adair, is back in the third historical mystery set in Stumptown’s lumber mills and seedy saloons. It’s a series that’s only getting better. Sunday Oregonian
The author incorporates many historical details to create a realistic account of an episode in the class war that raged in America during the years of rapid industrialization. This engrossing tale is the first in what promises to be a worthy series. School Library Journal
Land Sharks skillfully weaves fact and fiction together to craft a story that not only entertains, but informs.

Choosing a favorite historical novel written by an Oregon based author was not a difficult task at all. Hands down, my favorite novel in this category is “Land Sharks,” written by S.L. Stoner. Christine Webb, Oregon Book Report

S. L. Stoner
S.L. Stoner has long pursued social and economic justice. She’s fought the “good” fight standing beside many others in prisons, free clinics, neighborhood and labor organizations. The FBI and local police have honored these efforts by producing thousands of pages detailing her activities.Stoner holds beliefs contrary to the adage that those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Instead, she believes that some historical actions need repeating and that ordinary peoples’ history, if known, is both empowering and inspiring. Writing in the tradition of historian Howard Zinn, she tells the stories of how ordinary people’s heroic, sacrificial and effective actions changed history. She uses fast-paced fiction to make that story both entertaining and memorable.
