There are many great writers working within the speculative genres today. I don't want to slight any of them, so instead of saying the best, I'll just say one of my favorites is Premee Mohamed. If you have not read her yet, please seek out her work. templetongate.net/one-message-...

Published last June, but an appropriate read for Black History Month. It is unfortunate the fantasy element is the only thing that saved them. Otherwise, the Deep would not have been merciful. templetongate.net/daughter-of-...

It is still early in the year, but it will take remarkable work by others to bump Nnedi's new novel off my Best of 2025 list. templetongate.net/death-of-aut...

I never wrote Weird West before "Between the Blood and the Sun," despite liking western movies. Especially Tombstone. So, this novella is about being middle-aged and actively but slowly and mysteriously dying, and getting to one last town books2read.com/BetweentheBl...

Looking at the Locus Poll, haven't made any selections yet, but was wondering if anyone else would agree with me that Premee Mohamed's The Siege of Burning Grass is science fiction, not fantasy. Whichever category it rightfully belongs in, it will be my #1 pick.

It took longer to re-read the Helliconia Trilogy than I would have liked, but I am glad I did. I made edits to previous portions of the review, so this link is for the full page. templetongate.net/helliconia.htm

But also, if you don't mind ebooks and want a low-stakes, quiet book where the war is already over and everyone's come home (including also a one (1) angry ghost) you could do worse than THE APPLE-TREE THRONE! www.amazon.com/dp/B07GCFY44D
