About the author
S. L. Stoner
Author of the Sage Adair Historical Mystery Series
An unrepentant sixties hippie and progressive politico, Susan Stoner, writing as 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. A long-time labor union and civil rights attorney, she’s also sued city hall and won.
Believing in the adage that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it, Stoner writes in the tradition of historian Howard Zinn. She, however, uses fiction to tell the story of ordinary people’s heroic, sacrificial and effective place in history.
Stoner continues to be engaged in the struggle between the relatively powerless and the overly powerful.
For balance, Stoner takes long walks with her husband and dogs and gazes at forested and snow-capped mountains while practicing Tai Chi and guitar.
