But having written similar work would certainly give one an incentive to see how the others might approach it, and I'm glad it wasn't a complete pudding.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-58125170852323442152015-06-24T16:40:14.850-05:002015-06-24T16:40:14.850-05:00I'll look for it!I'll look for it!Brian Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233187184688491057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-25418909816927664592015-06-24T07:33:10.050-05:002015-06-24T07:33:10.050-05:00Brian, PATRIOTS was a six-book series of historica...Brian, PATRIOTS was a six-book series of historical novels published by Bantam under the name Adam Rutledge during the early Nineties. The storylines follow a group of friends from the Boston Tea Party to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. One of them becomes involved in espionage. It was a fun series to write, very much a historical soap opera.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-70446728316386143622015-06-23T19:29:35.710-05:002015-06-23T19:29:35.710-05:00I just started watching this myself, James.

I'm enjoying it so far, but the biggest problem is that they don't identify some characters right away, or very well, so I've been left wondering who is who. Either that or I'm going deaf, which is highly probable.<br /><br />Can you tell us more about the series you wrote? I'd like to track that down.Brian Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233187184688491057noreply@blogger.com
