Michael Metzger, Patriot and Author of "Freedom's Forge" our First Guest in 2013

There is an Appleseed Instructor in Ohio who not only does his bit by instructing on the line at Appleseeds in Ohio and elsewhere, but has now decided to take his passion for "Telling The Story", as we call it at Appleseed to a whole new level. Michael Metzger, who writes under the pen name of "Nelson Abbac", has written a novel which covers the events surrounding the Boston Tea Party and detailing the many events the people of Boston were involved in during the run up to American Independence.

Michael Metzger is a father, a husband, an ex-SWAT Officer, an Appleseed instructor and a Patriot. With all of his spare time, he decided to write his first novel. Metzger's first published effort at historical fiction spins an exciting tale of intrigue, action and romance set during the tumultuous days leading up to the birth of our nation. Metzger does a great job of explaining and helping us to understand the intricacies and framework of New England politics that ruled Boston during the 1770s.

The events and the background details surrounding the characters in the story have been very well taken care of. The characters are believable and the historical details have been well described and researched. Actual historical figures Paul Revere and John Hancock along with many others, have been artfully entwined with Daniel Ferguson, a tavern girl named Megan and Lieutenant Wainwright of His Royal Majesties Light Infantry to create a tale that could as well be true as not, since so much of what we know about this time period has been lost and because Abbac does such a smashing job at making them real for us. Anyone who gives this a read will not be disappointed. My wife and my ten year old both read it while I was reading it,(we had paperback and a kindle editions) and they both enjoyed it.

Michael Metzger will be our guest on Rifleman Radio, "Live" 7:00PM CST, Thursday January 3rd, 2013. Be sure and tune in for a chance to hear about the characters and events of Boston during the times leading up to the birth of our nation. Be sure to call into the show and ask questions and make comments. That is the whole reason I do a live show.
