Carrie Vaughn’s work includes the Philip K. Dick Award winning novel Bannerless, the New York Times best-selling Kitty Norville urban fantasy series, over twenty novels and upwards of 100 short stories, two of which have been finalists for the Hugo Award. Her next novel, The Naturalist Society, is about 19th century ornithologists, awkward love triangles, and the magic of binomial nomenclature.

Narrated by: Wanda Cielo

Wanda Cielo lives in Bisbee, Arizona, where she spends her days slinging coffee and her nights wandering the streets and alleyways in search of the town’s many ghosts and wayward spirits. This is her podcast debut and she is grateful to the author as well as the editor, and the host of StarShipSofa for this opportunity.
