The Yellow Hoods Series:
As the Yellow Hoods series starts, we see a pastoral world
on the brink of a great change. Steam-based and other technologies are
emerging, hence the genre “Emergent Steam Punk”. But this is written in the
tradition of hard science fiction– you will find no gratuitous gears here. In
the series, Adam Dreece masterfully weaves together familiar elements from
fairy tales with realistic characters, bringing them to life. Here we meet the
Nikolas Klaus: a kind of fusion of Santa Claus and Nikola Tesla and his
granddaughter, young Tee who evokes Little Red Riding Hood but with the force
of personality of a Katniss (Hunger Games) or Buffy (aka the Vampire Slayer).
You may laugh and you may cry, but I guarantee you will enjoy the ride.

Author Bio:
Adam Dreece burst onto the young adult fiction scene in
2014. His debut novel, Along Came a Wolf, hit the shelves in April, launching
what is now the bestselling series The Yellow Hoods. Book Two, Breadcrumb
Trail, quickly followed in September, locking in Dreece's status as a force to
be reckoned with. Now Book Three, All the King’s-Men, is about to be released
and is expected to take its place on the Amazon and Calgary Herald Best Seller
Lists, alongside its predecessors.
For twenty-five years Adam had written stories and set them
aside, including a memoir covering his battle with terrible scar pain and then
being hit with severe asthma. He’d always given the priority and focus to his
technical career. In January 2015, he became a full time author.
Adam’s a devoted husband and father of three great kids.
Though driven, he ensures there is always time for his family, fans, and fellow
authors.
With his tween daughter as his muse and the first to hear
the rough drafts, it’s no surprise that he’s a huge proponent of strong female
characters, something very clear in The Yellow Hoods.
