This aerial view of Pacific Palisades was taken in 2014. The Village, with its shops and businesses, and Palisades High is in the center. The long, straight road is Temescal Canyon. Sunset bisects the community and winds away towards the ocean. Sunset Mesa is at the top right, Santa Monica Canyon at the far left. Almost everything in this photograph burned in the Palisades Fire.

TNT cook Nathalie Krull switches up the traditional ProvenƧal tian, swapping summer vegetables like zucchini and eggplant for butternut squash and fennel. It’s a winning combination that melds the richness of the winter vegetables with the earthiness of shallots and the savory fragrance of sage and tarragon—beautiful and delicious!

Every fall TNT showcases some of the newest books that are written by local authors, or of local interest. This year presented challenges for everyone in our community. Authors everywhere have been hit hard by rising costs, declines in sales, and AI-powered algorithms that feed on original content while simultaneously making it more difficult for readers to find that content is doing nothing to reverse that trend. Local authors have also been affected by the January wildfires, many have lost homes, a significant part of their audience and then the venues they count on for events.

Supporting authors helps to ensure that real books, good books and just AI slop, continue to be written, and we can’t think of a better gift than a good book, especially one with a sense of place, and that is the unifying theme of all the books presented here: where it’s essays, crime fiction, cooking, natural history or art and architecture, everything on the list is rooted in the California landscape. See TNT Editor Suzanne Guldimann’s discover feature Local Authors/Local Interest for the full list.
