About the Author

George Bachman lives in New York City.

From the Back Cover

Magical action abounds in this well-written urban fantasy/steampunk adventure... We have past lives to explore, astral projections, incantations and magical battles, all from a first-person female protagonist's perspective. It's well-written, in a style reminding me somewhat of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. If you enjoyed that book or ones like it, you most certainly will enjoy this one. --Readper.com

The novel is engaging. There are a lot of magical rituals which arouse different sensory experiences. There is a Jane Austen-ish feeling ... initially that completely flips into an action fantasy. The narrative moves into different genres deftly. The battle techniques are frightening, exciting and exhilarating to read. (...) It's amazing! (...) I would give Spellcaster 3.5 Stars and will implore all fantasy lovers to definitely read George Bachman's spellbinding novel. -- Kleio B'wti, Welovequalitybooks.biz

...gripping ... leaves your heart pounding... Christine is a fantastically written character, with relatable emotions... Set in Victorian times, it seems like the author has researched the time period well... Highly recommended! -- Samie Sands, Zombiesinside.wordpress.com

Lots of atmosphere and attitude ... and mystery, lots of mystery as Christine struggles with both her reality and her dreams until they blur together into a quest to survive. (...) I absolutely loved Christine's character, she had a quirky strength and headstrong feel that seems to put her ahead of her time. -- Tome Tender Blog

It felt a little like Jane Eyre meets the world of Camelot... [I] am sure there are those of you that would salivate at navigating this story. -- Jeanie G., I Smell Sheep Blog
