Half-man, half-alien Ukiah Oregon is tracking a missing woman when he discovers he may actually be the long- lost "Magic Boy"-who vanished back in 1933.
The 2003 John Campbell Award Winner, Wen Spencer spent twenty years living in Pittsburgh, so its only natural that she sets her stories there. Currently she's living outside of Boston with her husband and son. She's a fan of Japanese anime and manga, and it flavors her writing. TINKER won the 2003 Sapphire Award and was nominated for the Romantic Times Review Choice Award for Best Fantasy.
