Vaughn's stories have received a number of mention credits in The Year's Best Science Fiction, edited by
Gardner Dozois and The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, edited by Ellen Datlow, Terry Windling, Kelly Link, and Gavin Grant. Her short story "Amaryllis", originally published in Lightspeed Magazine, was named a year's best in Gardner Dozois' Twenty-Eighth Annual Collection of the Year's Best Science Fiction and nominated for a
Hugo Award. Her short story "That Game We Played During the War" was a 2017 Hugo Award finalist.[4][5]
Carrie Vaughn was a 1998 graduate of the intensive 6-week
Odyssey Writing Workshop, one of the top speculative fiction writing workshops in the USA.[6] In 2009, she returned to the workshop as the special writer-in-residence.[7]
While the Kitty Norville books are published as fantasy, they have been popular with
romance readers as well. In 2005, Kitty and the Midnight Hour won
Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for 'Best First Mystery'.[8] Vaughn has said she welcomes the attention, but that it was unexpected:[9]
I emerged from the world of science fiction and fantasy, but I'm being promoted as a romance writer. It's kind of like
Jerry Lewis becoming popular in France, I guess.[9]
The book
Kitty's Greatest Hits (Aug 2011) contains short stories written over a long period and, in Vaughn's words, "its continuity is all over the map, from 500 years before the novels take place on up to the recent ones." Vaughn does not include it in the numbering of novels, and considers Kitty Steals the Show to be the 10th novel in the series.[11]
Long-Time Listener, First-Time Werewolf (2007) is a Science Fiction Book Club edition collecting Kitty and the Midnight Hour, Kitty Goes to Washington, Kitty Takes a Holiday, and "Kitty Meets the Band."
