Synopsis

A collection of stories that are, by turns, intense, visionary, mysterious and humorous, touching matters as diverse as spontaneous human combustion, dentists mysteriously disappearing from a town that appears on no maps, a former drug dealer searching for her long-lost home and missing dog, a murderer setting in motion The Plan. In the title story, Lynerkim's Dance, a contract assassin plagued by visions of a giant comet striking earth, seeks to unravel his father's disappearance and fiery death, while carrying out a deadly assignment during which he himself becomes the target.

About this title

About the Author

As a reporter, R. H. Emmers covered natural disasters, organized crime, murders, plane crashes, politics, government corruption and all the other assorted crimes and deaths and trials and speeches that fill up a reporter's notebook or recorder. Later, needing a change of pace, he became an insurance fraud investigator, taking down scammers faking injuries or disabilities to collect as much as ten or fifteen thousand dollars a month... tax free. And then, in search of one more challenge, he went to work for one of the country's premier crisis communications firms where he represented clients, mostly rich and famous, mired in scandal of one sort or the other. But what he was never able to shake was the ambition that had called to him when he was young: To write. Specifically, to write fiction, short stories, novels, all of it. In short: To tell stories. Now, he has finally returned to that first love.
