Carrie Vaughn\, New York Times bestselling author of the Kitty Norville series discusses and signs her new addition to this series Kitty Goes to War (Tor\, $7.99) and her new fantasyDiscord's Apple (Tor\, $23.99)\, which melds a near-future world torn by war with the legend of the fall of Troy.
Kitty Norville is a werewolf and talk radio host\, and Kitty Goes to War is the eighth in the popular series.
Discord's Apple takes a page from The Lion\, the With and the Wardrobe or - more recently - Neil Gaiman's American Gods\, and invents a tale in which a family storeroom is a gateway to another realm that contains fantastical items including Excalibur\, Cinderella's glass slippers\, and the Apple of Discord that began the Trojan War. Set against a backdrop of coming apocalypse\, the story jumps from glimpses of the ancient Greek past to a world that is being torn apart by politics and war\, and collects old heroes and notorious villains from all of mythology to fight for the fate of the world.
"\;Enough excitement\, astonishment\, pathos\, and victory to satisfy any reader."\;
--Charlaine Harris on the Kitty Norville series
"\;Carrie Vaughn masterfully weaves together comic books\, Greek gods\, King Arthur\, and a world on the brink of nuclear war. Discord's Apple is phenomenal!"\;
--Jackie Kessler\, co-author of Shades of Gray
No book has ever before specifically focused on the birds of prey of New Mexico. Both Florence Bailey (1928) and J. Stokley Ligon (1961) published volumes on the birds of New Mexico\, but their coverage of raptors was somewhat limited. In the ensuing years a great deal of new information has been collected on these mighty hunters' distribution\, ecology\, and conservation\, including in New Mexico. The book begins with a history of the word 'raptor'. The order of Raptatores\, or Raptores\, was first used to classify birds of prey in the early nineteenth century\, derived from the Latin word raptor\, one who seizes by force. The text then includes the writings of thirty-seven contributing authors who relate their observations on these regal species. For example\, Joe Truett recounts the following in the chapter on the Swainson's Hawk\: 'From spring to fall each year at the Jornada Caves in the Jornada del Muerto\, Swainson's hawks assemble daily to catch bats. The bats exit the caves - actually lava tubes - near sundown.

The story of Ignacia Vigil Romero\, a full Jacarilla Apache\, and the two boys she raised to adulthood\, Mister and Tomas\, unfolds in a barrio of Taos\, NM - a mixed community of Native Americans\, Hispanics\, and whites. Now deceased\, Ignacia\, a curandera - a medicine woman - begins this tale of starcrossed lovers. Sumner's cast and a strong sense of Native American and Latino spirituality create a fascinating portrait of a community\, wrapping issues of alcoholism\, friendship\, parental neglect\, and conflicted identity around a miltidimensional tragedy\, and Sumner captures the pain - and the humor - of a particular hardscrabble life and the voices of people who do not ordinarily frequent the pages of American fiction.
Sumner received an NEA grant this year and her short stories have appeared in the New Yorker and Harper's. Her previous books include The School of Beauty and Charm\, a novel\, andPolite Society\, stories. In 1995 she received a Whiting award for fiction\, and she teaches creative writing at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. On writing The Ghost of Milagro Creek\, she says\:
