I looked around my shelves, thinking "what would I pull out if Deneb was here and asked about books?" I finally decided I might try "Dreams Underfoot" by Charles de Lint. He writes fantasy, much of it modern and urban. Some is whimsical, some dark, the characters are great, often female. He is Canadian.
I don't know, it seems like a good fit. I recommend a collection of short stories as a good start. His work has many continuing characters and locations. Some of the characters remind me of the kind of people who are here on babble. It works for me, and it is not so complex or disturbing like some of what I read.
