Aviva loves to bring diverse, inspiring, sex positive characters to life, and looks forward to the day when her daughter can read BECKONED and see characters that look like her reflected in its pages. She believes consent is a must, condoms are sexy, food is culture, and travel is mind-expanding. Avocado toast, coconut lattes, and Korean spas are her favorite indulgences, and she is a die-hard Angeleno. A voracious reader, you can find a list of her favorite books at avivavaughn.com/about

She combines her passion for Jane Austen's multi-faceted, flawed characters with her love for food and travel to bring you BECKONED: slow burn, second-chance romance inspired by food, travel, and Austen.

She loves statement jewelry, rescue animals, and kind people, and hates talking about herself in the third person.
