==Work pre-1990==
Finstad received the Frank Wardlaw Prize in 1984 for literary excellence for her first book, ''Heir Not Apparent'' (1984),〔(Ebooks )〕 drawn from her experiences as a young law clerk and trial attorney investigating claims to the billion-dollar estate of industrialist, aviator and filmmaker Howard Hughes, who appeared to have died without a valid will.〔Jacket copy, ''Heir Not Apparent'', Texas Monthly Press, 1984〕 ''American Cinematographer'' described ''Heir Not Apparent'' as a “spellbinding account of intrigues by lawyers, relatives and fortune hunters for a share in the Hughes estate.” 〔George L. George,'' American Cinematographer'', Aug/Sept 1984〕 ''Kirkus Reviews'' praised the book, which was excerpted in ''Penthouse'',〔Penthouse, May 1984〕 as “immediate and engrossing.” 〔Kirkus Reviews, 5.4.1984〕 Other critics called it “strikingly literate,” 〔Louise Gregg, ''Wichita Falls Times'', 7.8.84〕 “a detective-story lovers dream . . . the stuff good novels are made of.” 〔Jerry Klein, ''The Charlotte News'', 8.24.84〕
Her second book, ''Ulterior Motives: The Killing and Dark Legacy of Tycoon Henry Kyle'' (1987), took her into the genre of the non-fiction true crime novel created by Truman Capote’s ''In Cold Blood'', centering on a spectacular murder trial which revealed that self-made millionaire Kyle, shot by his older son, had a violent Jekyll-Hyde personality and a lifetime of secrets, including a hidden wife and daughter.〔''Contemporary Authors'', Gale Research, Dec. 16, 2007〕 ''Ulterior Motives'', which began as a ''Rolling Stone'' assignment into Kyle’s mysterious murder in his rundown Sunset Boulevard mansion, presents a true tale of "money, greed, family discord, drugs and a bigger-than-life cast of characters,” according to the ''Houston Post''.〔Carlton Stowers, ''Houston Post'', 8.16.87〕 “She handles the story deftly and sensitively,” wrote the book critic for the ''Dallas Morning News'', “with touches of irony and humor.”〔Books, ''Dallas Morning News'', 4.24.88〕
