Jay Vaughn lives in sunny Seattle, a clean, progressive city that is way too expensive for a writer’s income. Therefore, Jay holds down a full-time, computer-industry day job, but writing is her passion. It’s a hobby-gone-wild, so much so that her teenage kids accuse her of being an addict.

Jay carries her laptop everywhere and can often be seen combining other favorite activities with writing. For example, you can find Jay sitting at a small table in the back of the gay bar around the corner from her house, drinking wine and writing. Or waking up early while camping, dragging out the laptop, and writing. Or writing in the truck on the way to and from concerts, ski-trips, visits to relatives ... wherever.

Jay’s favorite genres are sci-fi, fa

LOL! Nobody ever asks me questions -- just now noticed this, 1 year late. Sorry.

I have a "ten years later" plot in mind, mainly for Ty and Abe, but I'm sure the other characters would make an appearance as well. Not sure how soon I'll get around to writing it. I have a few more things I'd like to finish first.

Had not thought of writing about Tommy and Sven. That might be fun.(less)

Thanks for asking!

The Rough Boys series used to be available on most popular platforms. However, one-by-one they were taken down (or at least the 2nd and sometimes the 3rd were taken down). The reason is because the cover of the 2nd one, Rough Boy's Redemption, was considered too risque. I loved that cover, but I will agree it was pretty edgy. It took Amazon 10 years to notice and remove it.

Meanwhile, I haven't been paying attention at all. (I'm so sorry to everyone who was left without being able to read the rest of that series.) I inadvertently climbed the corporate ladder at my software job and ended up with no time or energy left for writing. It took me two years to even notice that Amazon had shut me down entirely.

I've recently left my soul-sucking corporate job and am focusing on writing again (yay!). One of my first tasks is to refresh the whole Rough Boys series, which includes light editing and new covers for all. It will be rereleased sometime this year.

If you don't want to wait, please PM me and I'll simply email you a copy.(less)

Happy Summer

I got inspired by the Smashwords Summer sale and set all of my novels to free for the month of July. Get them while they’re hot — I may come to my senses soon.[image error] Link is here.


My only request is that you review them. Does not have to be a written review. A rating on Smashwords or Goodreads, or both would be much appreciated, although if you have any words of encouragement or advice for b
