Jacqueline Carey Women in SF&F Month: Jacqueline Carey

Today’s guest is renowned fantasy author Jacqueline Carey! She’s probably best-known for her epic fantasy series, Kushiel’s Legacy, but she’s also written several other books, some of which fall under other speculative fiction subgenres. I love her books and think she does a fantastic job writing characters with a diverse range of abilities and personalities, particularly her unique and wonderful leading ladies. Today, though, she’s here to talk about epic fantasy and why it seems to be the last bastion […]

Lady Business Header Women in SF&F Month: Renay from Lady Business

The first guest of this month’s event is Renay from Lady Business! Lady Business is a collaborative blog with two other contributors, Ana from Things Mean a Lot and Jodie from Book Gazing. They write book reviews and commentary, discuss links around the Internet, and write all-around interesting and thoughtful posts. Lady Business actually came to my attention shortly before last year’s Women in SF&F Month after Renay published some statistics on review coverage of books by women on SFF […]

Wraeththu by Storm Constantine Women in SF&F Month: Book Recommendations

Yes, that’s right – even more book recommendations!

There are so many wonderful science fiction and fantasy books written by women that I could mention here. Since there have been so many great recommendations already this month, I’m going to try not to repeat the ones that […]

For now, here’s what happened last week in case you missed any of the guest posts.

Catherine Asaro Women in SF&F Month: Catherine Asaro

Today marks the last day of the Women in SF&F guest posts, and I can’t think of a better way to end it than with this post by Catherine Asaro about science fiction as an inspiration for young girls! Primary Inversion by Catherine Asaro is THE book that really got me interested in reading more science fiction. Although I read science fiction on occasion and enjoyed it, I’d never read a science fiction book that drew me in quite the […]
