I have only read two of his books but I can say that he is a fantasy writer who has as original spin on the genre as any of the new fantsy rebels, essentially taking diverse elements of folklore and myth and throwing them into real-world settings. The Fisher King appears to be a recurring theme, and I've heard that the sequence of novels starting with Last Call could be seen as a sort of mythology for California, tying in various concepts, alrgely that of the Fisher King as King of the West with this most Western (georgraphically) of locales.
