Folks in the city of Machias, ME, on the upper part of the down east coast, are readers. They appear to enjoy reading nonfiction historical and fictional accounts of events in the American Revolution that occurred in Maine and New England. My books Newfound Freedom and Patriot apprentice sell very well at the Margaretta Days and Blueberry Festivals in Machias and other cities in Maine. The story lines of both books take place in Maine and Massachusetts, where the characters become involved in actual, little known encounters between the forces of Great Britain and American Patriots, e.g. first naval battle of the American Revolution, bombardment of the village of Falmouth (today's City of Portland), etc, and interact with historical real figures.

Patriot Apprentice, Modlin’s second American Revolutionary War thriller in the Hollister series, recounts the continued adventures of Jack Hollister. Danger and adventure await as he sets sail aboard this armed schooner. Though jeopardized by Redcoats, renegades, true and despicable loyalists, Jack finds dauntless courage and unfaltering camaraderie among his peers. Richard Modlin continues to highlight the lesser-known battles of the American Revolution and events of early American history. The settings and times for this fast-paced, historically accurate tale are the days following the bombardment of the coastal village of Falmouth, presently known as Portland, Maine.
