It is with a sad heart that we here at Baen remember Rosemary Edghill (1956-2026) also known as eluki bes shahar (lower case intentional). She wrote wonderful fantasy novels for Baen, with one solo novel, The Warslayer, and an on-going series of collaborations with Mercedes Lackey, set in Lackey's world of urban fantasy. "It's difficult for Rosemary to pinpoint her earliest science fictional influences. "It's really hard to remember, because I started reading so very early. I think it may have been a J-book called Door Into Space. I don't remember the author--not one of the 'greats'-- but it was about a kid who accidentally has an alien kid come home and spend the summer with him for some reason. From there I got hooked on the Heinlein juveniles, the early Andre Nortons--my favorites there were Night of Masks and The Stars are Ours--and read just about everything both of them wrote. Then, of course, I ended up reading everybody: Clarke, Asimov, Leiber, C.L. Moore (LOVE her!), Cordwainer Smith (wow!), the Innsmouth Kids--Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard (the Grand Master of Sword and Sorcery and everybody should read every word he's ever written in every genre), Tolkien ... pretty much everything I could get my hands on in SF and Fantasy. Dune was a huge influence on me. It was, in every sense, the biggest book I'd ever seen at the time it was published. Enormous." We will miss the whimsy and artistry she brought to us.

This week for #WeReadWednesday, we're enjoying some Penric and Desdemona stories! Penric's Progress by Lois McMaster Bujold WELCOME A NEW FANTASY HERO FROM LOIS McMASTER BUJOLD! Follow Penric on his journey from noble young lord to sorcerer and scholar in the Bastard's Order. Three fantasy novellas by multiple award winning author Lois McMaster Bujold, together for the first time! Penric’s Demon On the way to his betrothal young Lord Penric happens upon a riding accident and stops to help. But the victim is no ordinary woman. She is is a Temple divine, servant to the five gods of this world. Her avowed god is The Bastard, "master of all disasters out of season." As she lies dying, she passes her strange powers to Penric . . . and changes the course of his life forever. Penric and the Shaman Now a divine of the Bastard’s Order as well as a sorcerer and scholar, Penric finds his scholarly work interrupted when he is called upon to accompany a "Locator" of the Father’s Order, assigned to capture Inglis, a runaway shaman charged with the murder of his best friend. But Penric finds that the mission is anything but easy and that his new skills will be pushed to the breaking point. Penric’s Fox When Penric—sorcerer, scholar, and divine in the Bastard's Order—travels to Easthome, the capital of the Weald, he once again finds himself embroiled in a mystery. The body of a sorceress has been found in the woods, and it is up to Penric and his friends, Shaman Inglis and Locator Oswyl, to unravel a mystery mixing magic, murder, and the strange realities of Temple demons.

I went shopping last night and, as luck would have it, our local Coles only had 1 book on it list... so we'll see how well AI judged my interest.

While I'd never trust AI to create, what it can do (and do very well) is collate, compare, and filter data to make evaluations. And so I decided to prompt 6 AI tools to see what I should read next... #epicfantasy #highfantasy #horror #thriller #AI bibrary.blogspot.com/2026/04/asking…
