"The Swan Gondola," a love story (with ghosts) set at the 1898 Omaha World's Fair is forthcoming from Riverhead/Penguin. I'm Timothy Schaffert, the author of the novel, and also your host for this site devoted to the delights, wonders, and idiosyncrasies of turn-of-the-century World's Fairs and other details of the 1890s -- the belle epoque. I'm also the author of four other novels (available from Unbridled Books): "The Coffins of Little Hope," "Devils in the Sugar Shop," "The Singing and Dancing Daughters of God," and "The Phantom Limbs of the Rollow Sisters."
