One of my favorite recent-ish (as in recently read, not recent release) is Black Blade Blues by J.A. Pitts.
Not only does it write a pretty believable lesbian heroine, but it features an excellent meshing of high fantasy and modern location Easily one of the coolest fantasy novels I've read recently.
I also adore The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham, which reads like a fantasy political thriller...like the Game of Thrones series with less needless murder used as a plot device. I've gotta get more from that series.
Still trying to find some fun, engaging, a bit light-hearted sci-fi. All I keep running into is pedantic post-apocolyptica or some over-explained nonsense from someone trying like hell to be the next J.R.R. Tolkein in terms of writing style. >.<
In short: I miss Hitchhiker's Guide and Firefly and Cowboy Bebop.
...also I'm gonna go ahead and admit that vampiric smutty novels are fun and I don't care who knows it. I'd totally love a gay vampire smut novel. Or gay fantasy novel. I'm unashamed.
