Her debut Frontier, a queer space western about climate change (really), came out in March last year.

When she’s not dreaming up stories, Curtis can usually be found up a hill somewhere, climbing or hiking or lolling idly in the grass.
Idolfire is her first work of fantasy.
At The Nerd Daily the author tagged five top fantasy journeys, including:
N.K. Jemisin – The Fifth SeasonRead about the other titles on the list.
Proceed with caution: The Fifth Season is fairy food. Once you’ve tried it, all other fantasy will seem tasteless by comparison. It’s a bargain worth making, though. Jemisin assembles a fascinating, terrifying world, caught in an endless cycle of disasters, and sets three different women out across it. A mind-altering novel that puts twee sword n’ sorcery contemporaries to shame.
The Fifth Season is among Tochi Onyebuchi's seven books about surviving political and environmental disasters, Lit Hub's twenty best novels of the decade, Mark Skinner's eleven top works of science fiction & fantasy by black authors and Emily Temple's ten best road trip books. The Broken Earth series is among John Scalzi's six best examples of sci-fi worldbuilding and Joel Cunningham's eleven top sci-fi & fantasy books or series with a powerful message of social justice.
