James Blaylock avait été publié il y a quelques années dans la collection Lunes d'Encre avec son roman Sonne le glas de la terre. Dans les années 90 on a également pu lire de lui des livres comme Le Dernier denier, Le Géant de pierre, Homunculus ou Le Vaisseau elfique.

Il prépare en ce moment un nouveau roman : Knights of the Cornerstone qu'il considère comme peut-être son meilleur. Voici ce qu'il en dit dans une interview sur le web :

"Jay Tomio - What can you tell us about the forthcoming novel, Knights of the Cornerstone and how long has this story been in the making?
James Blaylock - First, I’ll say that it’s perhaps my best book, for what that’s worth. It’s set in the desert, in a place called New Cyprus on the Colorado River. My character goes out there to visit his dying aunt and gets caught up in the machinations of… Because it’s a fairly completely plotted book, I simply can’t say anything much about it without opening doors that the reader had best open. For reasons too complex to go into here – not negative, by the way – I was something like 8 years between published novels. Once the idea for Knights came to me, however, the book was perhaps a year and a half in the making."
