She is one of my favorite authors. In fact, I've got a review of her first Company novels, "In the Garden of Iden" up over on alternative-worlds; you might want to skip over there and give it a look.
Baker is one of my favorite writers. She's a good storyteller, she creates interesting characters that are easy to care about, and she does her research. I picked up "Iden" at the library, having never heard of Baker, largely because of the time period the novel takes place in and the fact that it involves time travel. I didn't know what to expect from it or from her, but I was hooked immediately. I don't often re-read books, but I've read this series three or four times now. Really good stuff.
By the way, welcome to another Californian. If you don't mind my asking, what part of the state do you come from? I'm pretty much right in the middle.
