Though it may be difficult to believe, the eleven stories in this collection are based in truth. Author Jeremy Sayers hails from a family of adventurers and farmers. His father's family came to America in 1715 and settled in Virginia. His mother's family arrived much later, immigrants and migrants. All together, these people were coal miners, blacksmiths, and cowboys. Most of all, they were believers in whatever it was that let them survive one sunrise to another. And they were storytellers. Fencline and Other Stories brings some of those tales to life. Like the myths of ancient cultures, the Greeks, Hindus, Hebrews, and Native Americans, these stories tell about a particular time and place. But, they also contain something timeless. These stories give us reasons to laugh and to mourn. And the characters in these tales teach us something about coping with strife as we share little parts of their lives.

Rain and Other Stories is a book of eleven short stories about people in crisis. Stories like Rope and The Last Day are about educators who have reached crisis moments in their lives and must find some kind of resolution. A man wants to live forever in Immortal, and in The River and Snow Falling readers will find out how dangerous it is to betray the trust of the McKinley women. Rain tells the tale of a young boy abducted by a rebel army in Africa, and The Green Chain deals with the dangers of working in a sawmill in Northeastern Montana. All of these stories are about the pivotal moments of ordinary people, and their responses show us something about how we survive as human beings.

This is a work of fiction based on my childhood memories growing up in a farming village in Capul Island in Northern Samar, Philippines. Most of the stories are based on my own experiences and of the people I grew up with. So if the reader could identify themselves in these pages, I may have been inspired by them. I have long wanted to document the colourful traditions of my hometown as I have written them in my journals. I believe I have written a collective experience of my people in these stories that took me several years to print.
