Who is this Madame Eve, Anyway?
Since
Kate Richards, Olivia Starke and I came up with the 1Night Stand concept two
years ago this month, Madame Eve, the proprietor of the fictional
1Nightstand.com has been busy! To date, she has a documented list of over 125
love matches that you can read from Decadent
Publishing!

the complete list HERE
The
first 1Night Stand book, To
Feel Again (by yours truly, natch) was released in early April 2011. That’s
just over a year ago! Kate and Olivia’s books soon followed and the rest was
history. This series has been amazingly popular. Evidently, readers love the
idea of a match between strangers (typically) who find that instant connection.
The matching services on TV don’t have anything on this dating service!
But
who is Madame Eve?
Nobody
really knows, except for Jackson and Jagger Castillo, the owners of the
Castillo Hotel & Resort chain where many of the 1NS stories take place.
They’ve both spoken to her, but as far as we know, they’re the only ones on the
planet to have done so. She did blog one time and revealed enough about herself that we know enough to be even more curious:

Here’s
what we do know about Madame Eve:
1.
She’s
French. And she’s a pure
romantic at heart.
2.
She’s
mysterious. We don’t know how old she is, or how she does what she does. But
man, can that lady figure out who needs who (or is that whom?). She knows what
most lovers need before they know it themselves.
3.
She’s
a one-woman show. She runs the 1Night Stand dating service with a
velvet-covered iron glove. You know how those French women can be. Don’t mess
with her, she’s got a job to do.
4.
She
does a great job.
Here’s
what we don’t know about her:
1.
Where
she lives.
2.
What
she looks like.
3.
How
old she is.
4.
Where
she learned to do what she does so well.
It
drives authors crazy not to know very much about her. They constantly and
sneakily try to insert the answers to their own questions into their
manuscripts. Kate Richards and I are the editors for 1NS and like Eve, we rule the
series with a velvet-covered iron glove. Don’t mess with Eve. Don’t make her
something she’s not. She’s mysterious for a reason, we like it that way, and so
does she.
What
may seem odd to others but not so much to us is that through the many authors
who have written 1NS stories, they’ve brought Madame Eve to life! She’s real to
Kate and I! Maybe that's weird. But it’s pretty obvious by the sheer volume of stories, as well as huge
author and reader fan base, she’s pretty real to most everyone else, too!
