Robert Vaughn – IMDb). We have no affiliation, other than his residence in Connecticut where my sister has also lived most of her adult life. But there is yet another Robert Vaughan, and this time, one whose last name is spelled like mine. And he happens to also be a writer. And he has written over 200 books. Impressive? You bet! So, when he googled his own name recently, he was surprised to find little ‘ol me! Sort of like, what are YOU doing here? (I already knew about him, I mean, how could I not? He’s this Robert Vaughan: Amazon.com: Robert Vaughan: Books, Biography, Blog, Audiobooks, Kindle). So now, if that isn’t already strange enough, we’re Facebook friends! I hope that someday our paths cross in person. He seems an awfully nice guy.

HUMP Day Hot, Sizzlin Hot
You will always be The Man from UNCLE to me! Thanks for the wonderful suggestions for reading. Thanks for the HUMP!
And you will always be Soon-Yee! Among many others…happy HUMPity HUMP day!
Wow. Love your posts! You prompted me to maybe friend another writer and Miss Malaysia – Deborah Henry!
Thanks for all the amazing links, too. Going to share with my writer daughter. She is interning at a literary agency in NYC and will love them. And thanks for including little ‘ol me.:)
Robert Vaughn was a beauty — so you both share that too! I also have a good friend and fellow poet/writer with my same exact name and spelling — the marvelous Philip Clark (co-editor of the wonderful “Persistent Voices: Poets Lost To AIDS”, with David Groff). It got to be a joke when we were in the same room, that I became known as Philip the Elder, and he was Philip the Blonder! At any rate, I now separate my name with my middle initial. Solved everything. But as UNCLES go, Robert, you are definitely in a class by yourself.
