Thinking of You — Paul Cook

Santa Cristobal, California is the new Paradise where everyone is searching for the American Dream. This includes therapist Anabelle Lacy, whose father has just died and whose life is otherwise unraveling, a seventeen-year-old amnesiac girl, and a character called the Moon Man who is about to put Santa Cristobal on the map. Add to this mix a mysterious group of meddling landscape gardeners and you have an extraordinary mystery that will take Anabelle Lacy down an unexpected road of personal discovery and revelation.

In his first mainstream novel, science fiction writer Paul Cook presents a vision of two intersecting worlds of contemporary America-one is a world ordinary and banal, the other is filled with high strangeness. They both have their perils and Anabelle Lacy must choose between them.

Paul Cook is the author of seven novels, including TINTAGEL, THE ALEJANDRA VARIATIONS and most recently, THE ENGINES OF DAWN. He teaches in the English Department at Arizona State University.
