Michael Paul Hurd

eBook, ePUB

Uncertain Alliances (Lineage, #7) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In a setting devoid of modern technology or modern transportation a family story unfolds in the mid-18th century. Richard Harris served multiple capacities before family circumstances interfered. He served as a Presbyterian deacon, an attorney and a captain in the Connecticut militia before the French and Indian War. Though he was forced to resign from the militia service, he maintained a strong friendship with a Mohegan Indian sachem and his family. Their sons both went off to fight in the war and somehow survived, with one of them becoming an accomplished sharpshooter and the other a First Sergeant. In this story, love still blooms as Colonists began to marry Mohegans, children are found and some are lost - but they endure the struggles of their time in history.

Autor

Michael Paul Hurd was born in Michigan in 1959. He is the son of Paul S. Hurd and Carolyn J. Hurd (both deceased). Married to his wife, Sandy, since 1980, they have two sons and three grandchildren; however, their eldest son, Adam, passed away from cancer in 2010. During his formative years, Michael Hurd lived in Michigan, Virginia, and New Hampshire. He graduated from Hopkinton High School, Contoocook, NH, in 1977. Hurd is a veteran of the United States Air Force, serving from 1978 until 1992, and was Honorably Discharged as a Technical Sergeant. While on active duty, he earned a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Maryland/European Division during an assignment to England. After discharge, he was employed for another 26 years by the United States Government as a civilian and retired in 2018 along with his wife. It is during this time that Hurd developed a love for the written word and the deep research that was needed to author first book, "Lineage." The "Lineage" series was inspired in part by Sara Donati's "Wilderness" series and the many works of James Michener. The original "Lineage: A Novel" was constructed so that each of the chapters could be spun off into a full-length book.

Michael Hurd is an avid fisherman, has hiked nearly 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail in four states, and is a slow-but-steady road bicyclist. The Hurds currently reside in Maryland, within 10 miles of all three grandchildren. They travel extensively and are huge fans of the Disney Cruise Line.
