Grace Curtis writes speculative fiction that moves between science fiction and fantasy while keeping close attention on people living inside large, strange systems. *Frontier* is a queer space western set on a damaged future Earth, where a lone traveller crosses hostile settlements in search of the woman she loves. *Floating Hotel* shifts to the Grand Abeona, a luxury hotel travelling between worlds, and builds its story through staff and guests whose private histories gradually connect with the politics of the wider empire. *Idolfire* moves into fantasy, following characters drawn together around war, religion and power. Curtis’s books are character-led and atmospheric rather than hard-science driven, fitting literary science fiction, queer speculative fiction and space western for readers of Becky Chambers or Emily Tesh.
