Okay,

So I really liked Octavia Butler's "Kindred" and books written by Connie Willis.

Is there anyone else that you would recommend in a similar, science fiction genre?

I like revisionist history sci-fi or urban fantasy sci fi, with strong characters and good writing. No space opera stuff, please.

There's a book called Replay by Ken Grimwood (I think it's Ken) that might suit. I have no idea if it's in print though. It's about a man who essentially replays his life over and over.

I'd also say Tim Powers, but I haven't actually read any. I have three of his books, and The Stress of Her Regard is supposed to be about the muses as vampires. I really want to read it, just haven't gotten there yet. It starts off with oh, someone like Byron and Shelley in a boat somewhere being attacked by the vampire things in a storm.

Everyone's snagging the Tim Powers recs!
I would actually recommend The Anubis Gates and Drawing of the Dark as the most fun.

I would also recommend Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin, and, although it isn't fantasy, The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Stirling.
