A year and a half ago, River St. Clair would never have guessed that she'd come to appreciate, even prefer, the unpolished Victorian-era Chicago over the same gleaming metropolis three centuries into the future. But there is something extraordinary about watching a phoenix rise from the ashes before your eyes.
And she can relate. She has carved a place for herself in this strange world too, a man's world; never mind that she has had to disguise herself as one. Now, a solid sense of purpose and new-found friendships buffer the day-to-day inanities as well as the necessary farce that is her…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A year and a half ago, River St. Clair would never have guessed that she'd come to appreciate, even prefer, the unpolished Victorian-era Chicago over the same gleaming metropolis three centuries into the future. But there is something extraordinary about watching a phoenix rise from the ashes before your eyes.

And she can relate. She has carved a place for herself in this strange world too, a man's world; never mind that she has had to disguise herself as one. Now, a solid sense of purpose and new-found friendships buffer the day-to-day inanities as well as the necessary farce that is her life. Even a few ghosts, while not laid to rest, have been pacified. That's right. River is doing fine. Or was.

Her careful construction begins to crumble when a very familiar face from the past reignites the womanly heart beneath her coroner's frock coat. Just eight days might see her undone. The week of their father's birthday is shrouded in personal drama, family intrigue, the undeniably peculiar death of Birdie Day, and several schemes-some nefarious, others potentially so.

With a cast of quirky characters, a heavy dose of intrigue, and more than a dash of romantic suspense, fans of female sleuths, steampunk, and time-travel mysteries will enjoy NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.

Autorenporträt
Ellison Blackburn lives with some of her favorite beings in beautiful Seattle, Washington.

An early interest in the soft sciences, together with a career in information technology, ignited Ellison's curiosity in singularities many years ago. Most intriguing is the ever-present line-toeing between humanity and advancement, between who we are and what we will do in the name of progress. Thus, Ellison combines speculative ideas in her storiesbecause singularities do not manifest in an orderly fashion IRL.

Among her published stories are Flash Back, book one of The Fountain bioengineering trilogy; If There Be Giants, book one of The Watchers fantasy duology; An Untimely End, the first book in the time-travel, mystery series the Windy City Files; and the dystopian, cyberpunk novella Virtue Us, the Future of Love.
