Thrillers & Suspense

Regal House Publishing

The ten stories in this anthology shine each at its own speed of light--dimmer, hidden deep in the darkness, or brighter, burning faster. Through tales of secrets, loss, and identity, empathy illuminates the path, lengthening the shadows of the human emotions laid bare. When a young boy collects secrets like another boy would collect rocks or stamps, darkness envelops the man he becomes. When a young mother accepts a ride from a stranger, the truth about her situation is revealed to her. A penumbra outlines the dark core of one mother's loss as another mother's gain. Through stories of divorce, memory loss, struggles with mental health, and estrangement, loss reveals what we are capable of doing to cope, to recover, to heal, and what we can become as a result.

Someday Everything Will All Make Sense

Parenting & Relationships

Someday Everything Will All Make Sense follows Luther van der Loon, an eccentric harpsichordist and professor of early music, as he navigates the stages of grief after the untimely death of his mother. Luther obsesses over burial practices, rails against the funerary industry, and institutes a personal injury suit against the Chinese takeout whose "sloppy methods" he blames for his mother choking on a wonton. Luther detests modern music and the equal temperament, the tuning fiction upon which it is based. He believes, like Kepler and the greatest thinkers of the Renaissance, that music is to be constructed according to the divine Pythagorean ratios. "LaHines' tale paints a robust picture of a suffering neurotic stuck in his sorrow, her protagonist recalling a Laurence Sterne character. . .. An admirable addition to that venerable category [of] novels to find humor in loss."- Kirkus Reviews
