Reading some Kage Baker this morning. Baker was a California historian/writer/actress who wrote a brilliant historical fantasy series starting with “In the Garden of Iden”.

But her standalone stories, set in that milieu, are killer. The 1934 Hollywood Bowl staging of “A Midsummer Night's Dream”, a house party at San Simeon with Hearst and Marion Davies, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake -- amazing!
