Eve Vaughn has enjoyed creating characters and making up stories from an early age. As a child she was always getting into mischief, so when she lost her television privileges (which was often), writing was her outlet. Her stories have gotten quite a bit spicier since then! Eve likes to read, bake, make crafts, travel, and spend time with her family. She lives in the Philadelphia area with her husband. She loves to hear from her fans, so feel free to contact her at eve@evevaughn.com., visit her website at www.evevaughn.com .
Three things you don’t know about me:
1) I have an unhealthy obsession with Barry Manilow.
2) I am pretty hard to stump in 80’s pop culture trivia
3) I hate clowns
Go to the Samhain website and read the synopsis, come back and answer the question – why has Joycelyn Winters returned home? and you could be eligible to win a copy of Eve’s book BROKEN.

Answer: To celebrate her father’s upcoming wedding.
Wow. Barry Manilow, huh? I..uh..I’ve got nothing… Since so many people hate clowns (i, myself am one), why are clowns still around? They are freaky and scary. And I can’t help but think of serial killer John Wayne Gacy when I see a clown. I’m with you. Down with clowns.

Hey Eve!
Wow, you hate clowns? Well, I similarly loathe mimes. Think it might have something to do with a childhood trauma in which my parents allowed a mime in NYC to pull me out in front of the crowd and pretend to shoot an apple off my head a la William Tell. I was a clueless, terrified 6 year old. My parents and dozens of other curious onlookers thought it was hiliarious. All this AFTER my parents had preached to me and my sister NOT to have anything to do with strangers…particularly in dangerous NYC. Ugh! Obviously, I’ll never recover! LOL
Trivia question answer: Joceylyn is home to celebrate her father’s upcoming wedding.
Btw, I gotta check this one out. I cannot relate to my father being married to anyone other than my mother, but I have a step son and have often wondered what it must have been like.

Eve I just read the excerpt and Broken Heart sounds like a contemporary I want to read.
80’s pop trivia huh? That seems to be a decade I slept through. What fascinates you about this decade?
Answer to the question: To go to her father’s wedding.

K. Nelson, yeah Mimes are pretty creepy too. I was sexually harrassed by a Mime at an amusement park once. Imagine thirteen year old over developed me, holding my little brother’s hand who was probably six at the time, and the mime is walking behind me mocking how big my chest was. In my awkward adolescence I was mortified. So yeah, I think Mimes suck too. LOL

Paige, I am the self proclaimed “Queen of the 80’s” I don’t know why but the 80’s just holds a certain mystique to me, even though I was a teenager in the 90’s. I just loved 80’s clothing, MacGuyver, the music, television, the hair, (I had a crush on a guy with a mullet), Michael Jackson was still black, and OJ hadn’t killed anyone yet. What’s not to love about the 80’s?

Well, Jody, my husband seems to think I have an unhealthy obsession with Barry Manilow, but I think I’m just a superfan. I have all his albums he’s the wallpaper on my computer. I basically know the words to all his songs, I even bought the movies with him on the soundtrack. I just purchased Barry Manilow does the 80’s. That’s like two of my favorite things in one! 80’s and Barry Manilow. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Okay, maybe that is a bit unhealthy. LOL

Thanks Rhonda! I think it could have been the movie It that made me terrified of clowns. I still can’t watch that movie without sleeping with the lights on, much to the DH’s annoyance. LOL

Eve, I must ask…are you a Neil Diamond fan as well? I know you didn’t mention it, but an unhealthy obsession with one easy listening fella might lead to obsession with others as well…Kenny G, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Engelbert Humperdink…
I’m just teasing you, Eve

Hey Eve! I hate clowns too. They’re just not funny. You can stuff all of them into one of the clowns cars and drive it off a cliff. I think more people like Barry Manilow than they’re willing to admit. Meet you at the Copa!

Hi Eve!
(Answer to your question: Jocelyn came home to celebrate her father’s wedding) Congrats on your new release!
Back in the day, my BF was the founder of a national Barry Manilow fan club. She had posters of him all over her room and spent every waking hour outside work tending to Barry business. Her obsession was so intense she was convinced she would marry him someday. When the news broke that Barry was gay, she refused to believe it. Was vehement, in fact, that the media was lying. I think it broke her heart that she’d never really have a chance with him.
Best–Adele Dubois

Hey Dawn, yep, I pride myself in my 80’s trivia knowledge. Erin McCarthy and Kathy Love throw an 80’s music triva party at RT every year and I’m always there. When they see me coming, they know it’s on. LOL.

Karen, I love Neil Diamond!!!! Love him!! Love Kenny G, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Engelbert Humperdink and Barbara, you can’t forget Babs. I know I’m an oddball, but I love easy listening music. And in the next minute, I’m playing gangsta rap. You should see my Ipod, it’s all over the place, lol.

Hey Adele!! My obsession with Barry is solely based on his music. I always knew he was gay but who cares when he’s given us so many wonderful songs. *sigh* I feel bad for your poor friend though. She can keep dreaming because it never hurts. I’ve always had a crush on Sir Ian McKellan even though I know that’s never gonna happen.

Barry Manilow is awright but he’s no Chuck Mangione (smile) – different genres but still good 80’s music.
I loved Mistress to the Beast……..I read it twice!

Hi EVE!! I’m sitting at my computer laughing my ass off – I’m so looking forward to reading Broken – but Hey have you thought about writing a romantic comedy. You have a wicked sense of humor.
And yes, I’m the person you see sitting alone in her car singing out loud to the easy listening station. Bring it on, because, yes, Barry makes the whole world sing.

Hi Eve. Most of us have a fascination with Barry Manilow. We sing his songs whenever we hear them.
Clowns are kind of creepy but I’m not afraid of them. My son loves bad movies and one of his favorites is “Killer Clowns From Outer Space”. It’s so bad you’ll not be afraid any longer. I put clowns in the same niche as 50’s horror movie creatures. You just have to laugh at them.
Eve Vaughn

@ 5:17 pm:
Hey Marisa!! I hope you enjoy it!! Thanks for having me today. I do try to inject a little humor in all my stuff, my weird sense of humor doesn’t always translate in the written word. I do like reading it though.
Eve Vaughn

Clowns? I downloaded a book about someone hating clowns and the guy she went out worked with her cousin(?) as a clown. Haven’t read it yet but liked the subject matter and will read it to find out why she has this fear. Forgot who wrote it

Hey Eve about a little 80’s trivia:
Name the show that had a group of undercover cops that were selected because of their youthful appearance; they blended in with high school students.
And name the show about a housewife who lived in apartment with her husband Lester and teenage daughter Brenda.
Anyone got on their straw hats out there?

Clowns can be rather scary. I’m definitely not a fan of them. Your book sounds really interesting and now I can’t wait to find out what the secret is.
As for your question, Jocelyn returned home to celebrate her father’s upcoming wedding.

Barry Manilow? Wow! I thought you were normal.
I use to love clowns until one Saturday afternoon I was watching John Wayne Gacy movie. When I saw him dressed as a clown, I had to sleep with my lights on for about a whole week. Does anyone remember that stephen king movie about a clown? I threw up! Last year when the circus came to town my niece went. She brought a poster with clowns and I screamed!
21 Jump Street and 227! Child of the 80s!
Jocelyn went home for her dad’s wedding.

I am just getting into Supernatural right now, and there was an episode with a killer clown *shudder*

Well, Fanny I can’t say I’ve ever been described as normal. LOL
