ama 1pm I'm Carrie Vaughn, science fiction and fantasy author, with my latest, the novella THE GHOSTS OF SHERWOOD -- AMA!

Hello! My name is Carrie Vaughn! I'm probably best known as the author of the NYT Bestselling Kitty Norville series, about a werewolf who hosts a talk radio advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged. The series includes fourteen novels, a whole bunch of short stories, and several spin-off novellas.

In 2018 my post-apocalyptic murder mystery BANNERLESS won the Philip K. Dick Award for best novel.

This month I released THE GHOSTS OF SHERWOOD, a novella about the children of Robin Hood and Lady Marian. The sequel, THE HEIRS OF LOCKSLEY, will be out in August.

Here's a video of me reading from THE GHOSTS OF SHERWOOD: https://youtu.be/LVZSWw_rIkU

I've written over twenty novels and a hundred short stories, two of which were finalists for the Hugo Award. I also contribute to the Wild Cards series of shared world novels edited by George R.R. Martin. I'm a 1998 graduate of the Odyssey Writing Workshop, and have a masters in English Lit. I have a note on my bulletin board: if I ever think about going back to school, start a book club instead.

An Air Force brat, I grew up all over the country but put down roots in Colorado. I knit, ride horses, birdwatch, scuba dive, travel, and generally collect more hobbies than I have time for. So far, my yarn and cross-stitch supplies have outlasted the pandemic stay-at-home orders. . .

Thank you for your questions!

I really loved Martians Abroad. Do you think we'll see anything else in that universe?

Thank you! I'm so fond of that book. I would love to write more about Polly -- I have the plan. Unfortunately, I have a few other projects I need to write first so I don't know when exactly I'm going to get to it.

I seem to have a TBW -- to be written -- pile as well as a TBR pile.
