Looters & Leeches: A Sage Adair Historical Mystery - Paperback

Stoner, S. L.: - 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 dog in Southeast Portland when they are not traveling or spending time 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 twelfth book in the award-winning Sage Adair Historical Mystery series. Taking a break from history, she has also written Repercussion, the first novel in the current-day Maggie Kubic mystery series.
