Book description
Fifteen years after saving only one of two drowning identical twin
girls, Dave Quinn meets Anne, a struggling Canadian artist and the woman
he had rescued as a child, who is drawn back to the scene of the old
tragedy by the specter of her dead sister, who is out to avenge her
missed chances and live. James P. Blaylock was born in Long Beach,
California, in 1950, and attended California State University, where he
received an MA. He was befriended and mentored by Philip K. Dick, along
with his contemporaries K. W. Jeter and Tim Powers, and is regarded -
along with Powers and Jeter - as one of the founding fathers of the
steampunk movement. Winner of two World Fantasy Awards and a Philip K.
Dick Award, he is currently director of the Creative Writing
Conservatory at the Orange County High School of the Arts, where Tim
Powers is Writer in Residence.
