So excited my latest Laci Kicklighter erotic mystery has won the 2025 Passionate Plume Erotic Fiction Long Category. Thank you to all the judges who voted for it! A story within a story, it’s Laci and Capri’s most daring sexy adventure together! Get your copy on Amazon!

After being gone for about a month and doing some fun traveling I come home to this wonderful surprise! Thank you Passionate Ink for the award for my first Laci Kicklighter story, THE SIMPLE ART OF LUST. I am so thrilled and honored. And it’s a paddle! Very appropriate!

@LoganBlackAuthr Thank you, my friend!! You were there supporting me when this first story came out! I so appreciate you!

My first born! Next month it will be one year since its release. I will always love this little guy. It’s shorter than the rest but it helped me establish the story lines I would use in the subsequent stories. I really didn’t know Laci and Capri until I wrote SIMPLE ART OF LUST.

A year ago this month I was working on the first Laci Kicklighter erotic mystery. I wasn’t sure how it would come out or if there would be others. I didn’t have a website or a cover artist for the story or an editor. Now here we are four stories later!

I love these little positive quote cards and this one especially. I got the set at a little boutique on the square in McKinney one day and once a week I pull out another card and soak it in. Life is more beautiful when it’s shared.
