Book Description

July 14, 2009

Four lost souls on a collision course with either disaster or redemption. A random community of Faces in the Fire.

Meet Kurt, a truck-driver-turned-sculptor with no memory of his past. Corinne, an e-mail spammer whose lymphoma isn't responding to treatment. Grace, a tattoo artist with an invented existence and a taste for heroin. And Stan, a reluctant hit man haunted by his terrifying gift for killing.

They don't know each other, at least not yet. But something--or someone--is at work in the fabric of their lives, weaving them all together. A catfish, a series of numbers scribbled on a napkin, a devastating fire, and something mysterious. Something that could send them hurtling down the highway to disaster--or down the road to redemption. But they won't know which is which until they've managed to say yes to the whispers in their souls.

More About the Author

WAKING LAZARUS, my first novel, released Summer of 2006. To my surprise and delight, it was selected as one of the "25 Best Genre Novels of 2006" by the editors of "Library Journal." My second, THE DEAD WHISPER ON, had its hardcover release in the Summer of 2007, fulfilling my lifelong desire to write a book featuring both living shadows and spontaneous human combustion. My third book, THE UNSEEN, released in hardcover Fall of 2008.

Interesting facts about me:

-- Past odd jobs have included trimming Christmas trees, working the graveyard shift at a convenience store, and cleaning a cadaver storage room as a janitor.

-- As a teen, I was an undefeated 3-0 in air guitar competitions, in which I performed songs by ZZ Top. No, really.

-- I enjoy pudding.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bottom Feeders, August 9, 2009

This review is from: Faces in the Fire (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Unless you've read a lot of books that start with chapter 34, end with chapter 14, and bury chapter one nearly 300 pages in, you'd have to agree that T.L. Hines' "Faces in the Fire" is an unusual novel. But the appeal of this wacky yet profoundly entertaining tale extends far beyond the non-linearity - this is a rollicking and mysterious little gem of fiction that will keep you guessing while keeping your sense of rhythm deliciously off kilter.

The stories of four dissimilar people cross paths - a long haul truck driver and sculptor with no memories beyond the past six months, a notorious spammer with terminal cancer, a tattoo artist/heroine addict, and a hit man with the world's most bizarre weapon - guided by unexplained visions of catfish and seemingly random numbers scribbled on a napkin. Confusing? You bet, but Hines is a master storyteller, and cleverly guides the unsuspecting reader through his series of devious traps before delivering a knockout climax that is beyond clever.

Like the brilliant film "Memento", "Faces in the Fire" is a twisted tale of noir that demands a second look - or read, in this case. A great choice for those last lazy days of summer beach reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faces in the Fire, July 19, 2009
By 
This review is from: Faces in the Fire (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This book has a great story with a supernatural theme. It is an intriguing, interwoven story of a truck driver sculptor amnesiac who hears voices from clothing of the dead, a tattoo artist with a heroin habit who abandoned her family, a woman dying from cancer, and an assassin who can kill by touching people.

Their lives cross each other's, and they are changed forever.

I can't go into more detail without giving away the whole plot, but I couldn't put it down!

Read it. If you like imaginative books you'll really like this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars nonsense, August 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Faces in the Fire (Paperback)
Magic numbers, mystical Chinese company, a substance called Black Tar, ghosts, people with special powers and tattoos that appear out of nowhere. Maybe a good book for teens but I found the whole thing not well resolved - like, how did her cancer disappear and hair grow back overnight? Because she broke the old pattern of her life, took a chance, and NOT because of the magic potion? Her hair grew back overnight because she changed her ways. Hmmm. And the potion had what to do with it? Way too much goofy, not well explained stuff going on for me to care about anything. Also, I didn't like anybody. None of the characters became real people and without anybody to care about I have a tendency not to care about the story they're involved in. The storyline is pretty complex so I'll give him some stars for writing it. It just doesn't make much sense in the end. The internal logic does not cover and solve the problems in this dark and convoluted story. Somehow I got to the end but I wasn't driven to get there.
