I am currently writing this almost a week ahead, because by the time you get this, I will be at the cottage! Not that cottage, but I am spending the week at my best friend’s family cottage with her, her kids, and her parents. It’s an annual tradition and I love it so much. It’s supposed to be HOT (hitting 100°F!) by mid-week and I am planning to pretty much roll out of bed and into the lake. As someone who loves the water and grew up on a lake, spending a huge amount of time

As always, James did an incredible job recording Made to Order. He brought Donovan and Tyler to life in only the way he can. The tender scenes made me cry and OMG the spicy scenes are just 🔥. Absolute fire. If you haven’t started the series yet, now is a great time to do that.

Thank you for all of your kind words about my migraines. I really appreciate it. This hasn’t been a particularly exciting week, although I did have a nice time on Father’s Day. My parents invited my second cousin (who is in college, doing research during the summer semester) to dinner and we ate out on the porch. For once, it was lovely weather and it was really nice to spend the time outside and actually enjoy it! I am writing this Wednesday but have plans to get my hair cut

I hope you enjoy the illustrations that Colleen did for Mickey & Rafe. I think she nailed their expressions perfectly. Rafe looks like a big ol himbo and Mickey looks focused (grumpy) on the ice. I hope you enjoy the gorgeous special edition paperback of Slew Foot. ​We are taking pre-orders for Slew Foot now and signed paperbacks will begin shipping August 25th. I also designed some fun merch for Mouse and Turtle. It’s a toss up between my favorite sticker but the Level 4 B

As much as I loved the illustrations Colleen O'Malley did for Connor and Jesse on the Goaltender Interference cover, I think Gavin’s illustration might be one of my favorites. He looks exactly like I pictured him. Every inch the stressed-out Boston Harriers general manager! I did not have Colleen do an illustration of Dakota so we could prioritize getting these paperbacks done. I am hopeful that once we wrap up the paperbacks, I can have her do illustrations for the other non

If you love my illustrated paperbacks, but live in a place where you can’t order them directly from my Shop, you can now buy them on Amazon! They should be available in all countries and both the Rules of the Game series and the Relationship Goals series are available (Scoring Chances will be coming in August). Because of the way Amazon sets up paperback pre-orders for alternate editions, I can’t link you directly to the series but if you click the button below it’ll take you

Before we get into the good news about Cheap Shot being available in audio, I wanted to share some info with you. Audible recently released an update saying that they are changing their payment structure. It's a decision that will hurt both authors and narrators, so I wanted to take a moment to tell you that I appreciate each and every one of you who is willing (and able!) to support me by shopping directly.  Running the Brigham Vaughn Shop is a ton of work. Kim & I work very

Throws confetti Now that Kim has finished settling into her new house and I am done traveling everywhere, we have a little more time to focus on the Brigham Vaughn Shop. Today I am excited to announce that illustrated paperbacks are now available on my Shop! I was so excited to create the illustrated special edition paperbacks with the help of Colleen Malley. She’s such a talented artist and I love the way she illustrated my characters. I got so many compliments on the

Several years ago, I created a fictional small town on the shores of Lake Michigan called Pendleton Bay. The town may look quaint and charming, but there's a naughty side underneath. It's a place where ordinary guys find their kinky happily ever afters. James has been recording it in audio and I am happy to share that book #2 in the series is now available on my shop! Series: Naughty in Pendleton Title:  Embracing His Shame Book #:  2/5 Couple: Jarod Keener & Forrest P

Thank you so much! There are always nerves before I release a book. I wonder if I “got it right” and worry I might let readers down, especially ones who have been dying for Luke’s story for so long. But I couldn ’t be happier with the reviews coming in for Cheap Shot . You LOVED Luke & Sebastian’s story. I talked about that in yesterday's post , but now let's talk about what else I’ve been up to lately! I attended the Hockey Night with the Grand Rapids Griffins event on Sa

I really have  been blown away by  the love  you’ve  shown  for Cheap Shot . Just check out some of these reviews that have been coming in! 🏒 “I adore everything wrong with these two - Luke and Sebastian, but especially Luke, won me over with their determination to staying independent weirdos while begrudgingly finding each other.” – Nic Sweatt , Amazon 🏒 “So worth the wait! I have read multiple series from this author and I feel the books just keep getting better! Sebastia

So, this has been a rough week, huh? Let’s all take a deep breath, hold it for a few seconds, then breathe out slowly together. It’s been incredibly hard to focus on writing and promoting books. Lately, I’ve been able to create some compartmentalization where I do what I can, when I can (calling reps, showing up to protests, making donations) but try to be 100% present for my writing and all of the other parts of being an author. Some of it comes from spite. I REFUSE to let

That fight spilled off th

I am back in Michigan and settling in. It’s been a little bit of a weird schedule for me because I’m thoroughly immersed in Olympic hockey. I’ve been watching both men’s and women’s hockey and rooting for Team Canada for both. It’s been a lot of fun, even if it’s very very stressful. I think the OT win for the men’s team against Czechia almost killed me. I am also very excited to announce that Delayed Penalty is available in audio. If you haven't listened to the rest of

James Edward Jones did an incredible job recording Delayed Penalty and I enjoyed listening to every second of it. Want to know how much readers love the story?   "Graham and Thad share an emotional journey as they both navigate their new feelings for each other and the changes this brings to their lives. But when you find true love, it is worth it."   "I can honestly say, this is my favorite of this series, and one of my top five of all Vaughn's books."    "... loo

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I first released Goaltender Interference ! Connor and Jesse were such a joy to write, and I really love this Boston team. Although I didn’t plan it purposely, their book release landed in the same week as Kiss a Ginger Day. Jesse enthusiastically kisses a ginger every day, so he’s a huge fan of the celebration. I had originally planned to just write up a little post about it and tell you about how much I enjoy these two and

It’s been quite a week! I went to not one, but TWO hockey games on Saturday. I took my parents to a noon game in Detroit to cheer on the Pittsburgh Penguins when they beat Detroit, then met up with a friend who had free tickets to a 7pm University of Michigan game where they beat the USNTDP (national development program) team. If you want to see my adventures, check out my pics on Instagram . I am also preparing for my annual trip to Albuquerque to visit my bestie and her fam

I got so excited about the idea of Date in a Pinch coming to audio that I forgot that many of you started with my hockey books and aren’t familiar with what came before them! I created a fictional small town on the shores of Lake Michigan called Pendleton Bay.

Thank you! It has been a wild and wonderful week since I released Delayed Penalty . I am blown away by how much you love Thad & Graham’s story. I’ll talk more about that below but first I want to talk about what I’ve been up to lately. I managed to sneak in a little holiday cheer when I went to see a production of A Christmas Carol and took a day off to do holiday shopping with my parents. They’re both annual traditions and a lot of fun. It really makes me feel like the

I really have been blown away by the love you’ve shown for Delayed Penalty . Just check out some of these reviews that have been coming in! 🏒 “Delayed Penalty hits that perfect blend of emotional depth, character growth, and swoony hockey romance that keeps the Scoring Chances series so addictive.” - Vallen Courte, BookBub 🏒” More than anything this a beautifully written and tender romance, was always at the epicentre. And that ending...just gah🥰- ell8, BookBub 🏒 “
