More About Adam Dreece:
For 25 years, Adam wrote short stories that he only shared with
friends and family. Like many people, he put his career first, and writing
second. In 2009 when his appendix nearly killed him, he found himself struck
with horrific abdominal pain that seemed never ending. Fifteen months later,
after a surgery to explore for, and remove, scar tissue reduced the pain to a
manageable, chronic level, he started writing a memoir. Nearly six months
later, once again back at work but this time with writing always having a place
in his life, he found himself hit with sudden, severe asthma. It was as if a
switch had been flipped, and Adam found himself once again trying to figure out
which way was up.
Two years later, with the memoir going through editing, Adam decided it needed
to sit a while. The challenges he’d faced had made him more driven, more
focused, more appreciative of the time that he had. With the support of his
wife, on November 28th, 2013 he made a plan to be a full time author in five
years. On January 4th, he started writing a story at the request of his
daughter that became book 1 of The Yellow Hoods.
Adam lives with his amazing wife and three awesome kids. He’s very active on
Twitter, and loves engaging with fellow readers and writers. He regularly helps
fellow writings.
He lives in Calgary, Alberta.

Book One (Along Came a Wolf)
Along Came
a Wolf
Along Came a Wolf is the debut book of the highly rated emergent Steampunk series, The
Yellow Hoods. This young adult series is layered for the mature reader. It
incorporates some elements of fairy-tale, inspired by the notion of what if the
rhymes and tales we know were based on real events, in this world.
Seeds of a technological revolution have started
to sprout in this old world, about to change it forever. A secret society, long
thought crushed, makes its first move against its unsuspecting, benevolent
opponent.
Master inventor Nikolas Klaus has seen some of
this coming, and has quietly broken the rule of keeping his secret society's
knowledge and skills from the younger generations. He knows that the day will
come when they will be needed, but has underestimated how soon.
Tee, Elly, and Richy shed their innocence and
are forced to stand as the Yellow Hoods to overcome life- threatening dangers
unleashed as secrets of Nikolas' past are revealed.
Will Nikolas' secrets cost him the life of his
granddaughter? Are his efforts too little, too late?
Review quotes:
"A gripping read. Lots of fun for kids and
adults both. A wonderful mixture of action, mystery, and whimsy that leaves an
impression on you long after you've turned the last page."
"I was always envious of people who could
get drawn into a good book. Now, I am one of those people."
"This book is well written and the
character development is phenomenal. I'm not just talking about the main
characters here—I mean ALL of them."
Book Two
(The BreadCrumb Trail)
In an act
of desperation, inventor Maxwell Watt sends his teenage son to Nikolas Klaus
with the secret plans for his steam engine. The Fare, a nefarious secret
society, learns of the game-changing invention and accelerate their timeline to
neutralize Klaus and reclaim control over the kingdoms.
While wars spark to the south, children in
Mineau have started to go missing—again. Captain Archambault suspects the
return of the Ginger Lady. With the help of the Yellow Hoods and their friends,
the search is on to find the missing children before it is too late.
What is the secret that ties the Yellow Hoods to
the Ginger Lady? Who are the Red Hoods really?
Enjoy this darker, edgier installment in this
exciting Emergent Steampunk adventure series that is laced with elements of
fairy-tale that gives it depth. A young adult series that is layered for the
mature reader.
“A beautifully spun tale in a unique and
captivating world.”
