BOOK NEWS FOR MAY 8TH: VOICES OF DRAGONS AND HUMOUR IN SCIFI

CARRIE VAUGHN’S VOICES OF DRAGONS

Source: tor.com


Colorado author Carrie Vaughn is best known for the seven books starring Kitty Norville, a werewolf who has come out of the closet and hosts a Denver late-night talk show that invites discussions of all things supernatural. As the series has progressed, readers have learned that, in Vaughn’s alternate universe, vampires, shape-changers, witches and all types of monsters live among us normal folks.

Now, although she still enjoys spending time in Kitty’s world—the eighth installment, Kitty Goes to War comes out in June, and Kitty’s Big Trouble is due next year—Vaughn has let her imagination take her in other directions. Voices of Dragons, her first young adult novel, and the first published in hard cover, came out last month from Harper Teen, and Tor will release her first adult hard cover novel, Discord’s Apple in July.

Do you think scifi romances lack humour? I’ll be honest and say that I’m usually drawn to more action and epic books – or down-right funny ones, (ie: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, or Red Dwarf) so if something is marketed as a romance, it’s not my first choice of story.
