See some of you in Bradford next Easter. Tim Powers' first UK con - actually, it'll be the first time Tim and Serena have been in the UK, despite my urgings over the last decade and a half. He's a good man, wonderful writer.
I read On Stranger Tides when I was a mere stripling and have been an avid Powers reader ever since. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to have as much presence in UK bookstores now as he did a few years ago, but (bless the internet) his books are still findable. I ordered Declare from Amazon and am just finishing it now, fantastic read.
The Anubis Gates and The Stress of Her Regard are probably my favourite Powers books.
