THE Q&A

ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?

VIRGINIA: As often as I can! I’ve always been that girl with her nose stuck in a book.

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?

VIRGINIA: I love my hero, Noah. He’s fighting for justice for his missing and presumed dead sister.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?

VIRGINIA: Nothing beats the original Star Wars movie.

ANGI: What’s your perfect day?

VIRGINIA: Curled up on the couch with a book and blanket. Ah, Heaven.

ANGI: Salad or soup?

VIRGINIA: I’ll skip both and go straight to the pasta. Yummy!

ANGI: Would you put yourself in a Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?

VIRGINIA: I would love to say Action Adventure, but clearly I’m a HEA kind of girl, so Fairy Tale.

ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf? 

VIRGINIA: My TV generally stays on HGTV

ANGI: Champagne or Soda?

VIRGINIA: Soda, although I refuse to call it that. Here in Mississippi, its just Coke…or, in my case, Diet Coke.

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK:  Where is your favorite writing place & why?

VIRGINIA’S GOTTA ANSWER: Fall is in the air and there’s no better place to write on a cool afternoon than the second-floor balcony of my apartment building.

ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?

VIRGINIA:  All. The. Time. I am a self-professed bookaholic and I’m not even sorry. I was always that kid with her nose stuck in a book and adulthood hasn’t changed that. Reading has always been my favorite pastime.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?

VIRGINIA:  A long time ago in a galaxy far far away….Star Wars was the first movie that ever really transported me to a different time and place and because of that it will always be my favorite, but Terminator really sparked my love for time travel stories so it is definitely a close second.

ANGI: YES !! Two of my favorites. Terminator is such a great love story. "I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have."

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?

VIRGINIA:  My hero, Quinn, has really bucked his family’s tradition of law enforcement and taken his own path to become a covert operative. He feels like no one in his family really understands him. I can relate to those feelings as sometimes, being a writer, I feel like my family looks at me as if I have a third eye, lol.

ANGI: What’s your perfect day?

VIRGINIA:  Curled up in a chair reading and getting so lost in a story that the real world—even the fun stuff—seems like an imposition. I once got so pulled into a story world that I nearly cancelled a trip to the beach with my friends because I didn’t think I was going to finish the book in time. If that doesn’t make me a book lover, I don’t know what was does, lol.

ANGI: Salad or soup?

VIRGINIA: Let’s skip them both and go straight to the pasta, hehe.

ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf? 

VIRGINIA: I’m an HGTV junkie and I’ll watch Flea Market Flip every time its on.

ANGI: Favorite date night…fancy or at home? 

VIRGINIA:  I’m a homebody. My favorite date night would be ordering in and staying home to watch a movie.

ANGI: Champagne or Soda?

VIRGINIA:  Diet Coke is my drink of choice all day long.

ANGI: Geek or Jock?

VIRGINIA:  I always loved playing softball, but I have to confess I was never the best player. Maybe if I’d put down the books and practiced more that would have changed, but I regret nothing. Definitely a geek girl. 😊

ANGI: I was a catcher. My knees prove it. I coached for 20 years and umpired Girls Fast-Pitch for 15. But...hahaha...I do NOT consider myself a Jock. LO

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK:  Where is your favorite writing place & why?

VIRGINIA’S GOTTA ANSWER:  My favorite place to write is on the balcony of my apartment overlooking the lake. I love the water and the balcony gives me the illusion of being outside without actually having to go. 😊

  

UP NEXT for VIRGINIA:

I’m currently working on book #3 of my Covert Operatives series. I’m still in the writing phase so no cover or release date yet, but here’s a juicy tidbit—it involves a baby selling ring and a secret husband!

VIRGINIA WANTS TO KNOW: A few years ago, I bought a great overstuffed chair at a yard sale. It was the perfect place to curl up to read which I did often. Unfortunately, when we moved, I had to downsize and give it away. I still miss that chair, especially because I haven’t yet found another as good comfy spot for reading. So my question today is what’s your favorite place to read?

Have you found Virginia Vaughn?

One of the nicest things about hosting a blog like Get Lost in a Story is discovering new authors...not just because of their writing, but because their answers let you know that you'd be besties. It's very nice to "meet" Virginia Vaughn. I can't wait to meet her in person.

VIRGINIA VAUGHAN was born and raised in Mississippi and has never strayed far beyond those borders. She is a former investigator for the State of Mississippi who left a promising career to pursue her dream of being a writer. Blessed to come from a large Southern family, her fondest memories include listening to stories recounted by family and friends around the large dinner table. She was a lover of books even from a young age, devouring stories of romance, danger, and love. She soon started writing them herself. After marriage, two kids, and a divorce, Virginia realized her characters needed the same thing she needed—the healing grace and restoration power of Jesus Christ. She devoted her life and her writing to His glory and has watched God swing doors open for her to walk through.

My idea of what my hero
 Matt Ross looks like.

ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?

VIRGINIA: As often as I can! There is nothing more enjoyable than losing myself in a good story. I love the adventure of stepping into someone else’s life and forgetting my own worries for a time.

ANGI: What do you like about the hero of your book?

VIRGINIA: My hero, Matt Ross, is a wounded soul. He did something terrible in his past that hurt the woman he loves and he believes he can never be forgiven for it. I loved going through the journey of redemption with him and having him discover that second chances are possible with God.

ANGI: Are you a Star Wars fan? Favorite thing about the reboot?

VIRGINIA: I love all things Star Wars! I found the reboot very satisfying. For me, it had just the right amount of nostalgia but also opened up an exciting new storyline. I’m already looking forward to the next movie.

 the beach at Gulf Shores

ANGI: Sand or Snow?

VIRGINIA: Sand, definitely. The beach is where I want to be. I can’t think of anything better than sitting and listening to roar of the waves.

Henry Cavill as Superman

ANGI: Superman or Batman?

VIRGINIA: Oh, that’s a tough one, but I would have to go with the man of steel. His clean-cut, justice seeking ways are definitely more my style than Batman’s dark vengeance.

ANGI: What drinks or snacks are always on your desk when you’re writing?

VIRGINIA: I am addicted to Diet Coke. It is my caffeine of choice and it is always on my desk when I’m writing.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs
of NCIS

ANGI: What’s your favorite rerun on television?

VIRGINIA: I can sit and watch NCIS over and over when they marathon play it. One name—Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon).

Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham

ANGI: Who’s your favorite villain?

VIRGINIA: Maybe it’s because he recently died that I’m reminded of him, but Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in The Prince of Thieves was a great villain. He really stole that movie.

ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What’s one thing from your bucket list?

VIRGINIA’s GOTTA ANSWER:  One of the things I have always wanted to do but have never done much is traveling. I’ve always stuck close to home. I would love to travel around the US and do all the touristy stuff people do.
