Vince A. Liaguno was born in Easton, Pennsylvania and was raised in both Edison and the Princeton area of New Jersey. As an only child, he enjoyed an imaginative childhood, filled with reading, writing stories, and conjuring up games of make-believe. Vince jokingly says that he "survived thirteen years of Catholic education" but credits the parochial school system with giving him a solid education and "a love for all things related to English and the symmetry of words".
He began writing arts reviews for local publications before landing a steady gig as a contributing editor at "Autograph Collector", a national specialty-niche magazine for enthusiasts of the titular hobby. There, Vince saw numerous celebrity profiles and articles related to the hobby of autograph collecting published, his many celebrity interviews and profiles including Jamie Lee Curtis, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Isabella Rossellini, Julianne Moore, the late Janet Leigh, singer Cyndi Lauper, David Strathairn, the late vocalist Laura Branigan, Berlin lead singer Terri Nunn, actor and Calvin Klein model Michael Bergin, and actress Jamie Rose.
Vince has fond recollections of Saturday's spent with his dad during their weekly "buddy days", during which the elder Liaguno introduced him to the world of movies. Vince especially enjoyed the horror movies of the early eighties, developing what he jokingly refers to as "a lifelong obsession" with all things related to scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis. It was his fondness for the slasher films of this era, like "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween", which served as the inspiration for his first novel, "The Literary Six".
Vince currently lives on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, with his partner of 19 years, their two Cocker Spaniels, Sydney and Kirby, and their cat, Moyet- named after British chanteuse Alison Moyet.
