Yvonne Jocks--aka Von Jocks and Evelyn Vaughn--believes in many magics, particularly the magic of stories. As Evelyn Vaughn, she has written four romantic suspense stories for Silhouette Shadows and now DreamScapes, an upcoming paranormal romance for Silhouette Intimate Moments (BURIED SECRETS, Feb. 2003), and an book 3 of Silhouette's upcoming "Family Secrets" series, titled DECODING PROTEUS (Aug. 2003). She uses the nickname Von Jocks for most of her work in fantasy anthologies such as A DANGEROUS MAGIC, CONSTELLATION OF CATS, and CREATURE FANTASTIC. And as Yvonne Jocks, she writes historical romance novels, mainly the "Rancher's Daughters" series for Leisure Books, as well as her academic work like editing the forthcoming reprint anthology from Berkley, A WITCHES' BREW.

Yvonne still loves the magic of stories, movies, books, and dreams. An unapologetic TV addict, she lives happily in Texas with her cats and her imaginary friends and teaches community-college English to support her writing habit--or vice versa. She is a member of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans.
