I like Barbara Hambly's other stuff, though less so recently. I really liked The Ladies of Mandrigyn, and she headed back into that territory with the recent Sisters of the Raven. I guess I just found the increasing trials of Jenny Wayfarer (if that's her last name) too depressing.
Have you tried THE SILENT TOWER, THE SILICON MAGE, and DOG WIZARD (the Windrose Chronicles)? Yet another of her trilogies, but the hopelessness is only there for plot purposes! That is, things are just as angstful but then they resolve much better than in the Jenny books. Also, I am in love with Antryg Windrose. Ahem.
Another fun one of Hambly's is BRIDE OF THE RAT GOD, set in Hollywood in the days of silent film and featuring a movie star and her quiet, widowed sister-in-law. And some Pekinese. And Chinese demons.
