“I always have more ideas than I have time to write.”—Carrie Vaughn

Carrie Vaughn is the author more than 20 novels and more than 100 short stories that have been published in science fiction and fantasy magazines as well as short story anthologies and internet magazines. She’s best known for her New York Times bestselling Kitty Norville series starring a werewolf who hosts a talk radio advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged. In 2018, she won the Philip K. Dick Award for the post-apocalyptic murder mystery Bannerless.

She wrote Questland, an action-packed story filled with elves, 20-sided dice, and Monty Python riffs; and The Cormac and Amelia Case Files, a collection stories spun off from the Kitty Norville series, full of mystery, magic, and horror.

Vaughn contributed to the anthologies Dark and Stormy Knights (with Jim Butcher, Ilona Andrews, and Vicki Pettersson, among others), Hex Appeal (with Rachel Caine, P.N. Elrod, Simon R. Green, and more), and The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance: Volumes 1 and 2 (with 41 tales, including stories from Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jeaniene Frost, and Holly Lisle).

She’s also a contributor to the Wild Cards series of shared world superhero books edited by George R.R. Martin.

An Air Force brat, she survived her nomadic childhood and managed to put down roots in Boulder, Colorado, where she collects hobbies.

“I always have more ideas than I have time to write,” Vaughn told PaulSemel.com. “The trouble is time and interest. I have dozens of ideas I’d love to work on at any given moment, so I end up giving priority to what publishers and readers are willing to pay for. Additionally, I’m often more inclined to work on new ideas rather than revisit old ones.”
