    Last Call

    I'm almost finished with Last Call by Tim Powers. I'm finding the story to be very original for a fantasy book. I like the mix of tarot, gambling, and the twist on the Fisher King.

    Another Tim Powers interview

    I just stumbled over an interesting interview with Tim Powers, from September of last year. It is interesting in that it particularly looks at his work from the point of view of his religion - he is a practicing Catholic. Despite that, and depsite the fact that some of his work (Declare, some...

    LosCon: Questions for Tim Powers?

    It's getting close to that time. I'll be attending LosCon over Thanksgiving weekend, and Tim Powers is going to be the Guest of Honor. I don't know if there will be any Q & A sessions scheduled with him, but in case there is, or in case I get the opportunity to ask him any questions - is there...

    On Stranger Tides

    I keep hearing a lot of praise for his urban fantasy, but this is the only book by Powers that I’ve read. It’s quite fascinating, set as it is in pirate times around the later life of the infamous Blackbeard. Powers takes the fact that the pirates were in amongst the slaves and the voudoun, and...

    What does Tim Powers write about?

    I'm curious - Tim Powers comes up as a name about the place, but I have no idea what he generally writes about, his ideological slant, or the general impact of his stories and writings. So how does Tim Powers stand within the general sff gener, and what are his strengths and weaknesses?

    Tim Powers on writing (with link)

    I debated whether to put this here or in the Aspiring Writers board, and then finally decided to put it here because I think it might be of interest to more of us than just the writers among us. This isn't a new interview. Tim Powers sat for it on January 26, 2001, before a speaking...
