Seconding for "Boneshaker" by C.M. Priest (she has an LJ as cmpriest). This is the best book I read in 2009. Steampunk set in 1840's Seattle. This book will go a long way towards satisfying anyone's desire to see more smart, middle aged, female protagonists. Warning; contains some annoying teenagers.
New author Margaret Ronald. "Spiral Hunt" came out last year. I went to the reading at last year's Boskone. The sequel "Wild Hunt" just came out. Sort of an urban fantasy meets Spenser for Hire. Female private eye, in a universe where magic works, set in the Greater Boston area. The first book was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to reading the second. Warning: contains puns.
