Description

English attorney Alistair Robertson can't quite believe an astonishing tale of kingship and transformation he hears at Burning Man, the annual counter-culture art festival in the Black Rock desert. Who are the Found Kings? Is "being kinged" as magical as it sounds? Determined to find the mysterious garage mechanic named Vin who helps men "remember who they were always meant to be," Alistair catches his quarry amid the extravagant sculptures, fire worshipers, mutant cars, and lavish costumes. After searching for three years, he'll finally get to ask the question burning inside him: "Will you king me?" Wandering together through the desert, Vin Vanbly and Alistair explore Burning Man's gifting culture and exotic traditions, where they meet the best and worst of their fellow burners. Alistair's overconfidence in Vin's manipulative power collides with Vin's obsessive need to save a sixteen-year-old runaway from a nightmarish fate, and the two men spiral in uncontrollable, explosive directions. In this fourth adventure of The Lost and Founds, beneath the sweltering summer sun and the six billion midnight stars, one truth emerges, searing itself on their hearts: in the desert, everything burns.

Author Biography:

Edmond Manning has always been fascinated by fiction: how ordinary words could be sculpted into heartfelt emotions, how heartfelt emotions could leave an imprint inside you stronger than the real world. Mr. Manning never felt worthy to seek publication until recently, when he accidentally stumbled into his own writer's voice that fit perfectly, like his favorite skull-print, fuzzy jammies. He finally realized that he didn't have to write like Charles Dickens or Armistead Maupin, two author heroes, and that perhaps his own fiction was juuuuuuust right, because it was his true voice, so he looked around the scrappy word kingdom that he created for himself and shouted, "I'M HOME!" He is now a writer. In addition to fiction, Edmond enjoys writing nonfiction on his blog, www.edmondmanning.com. Feel free to contact him.
