Author Lucy Lakestone writes fun mysteries and hot romance
Lucy Lakestone writes books that offer fun escapes, whether they’re humorous mysteries, hot romances or storm-chasing adventures (as Chris Kridler). She loves sipping a classic cocktail and chasing tornadoes, but not at the same time. An award-winning author and photographer, she’s also told stories as a journalist and video producer. She lives with her husband and two crazy dogs on Florida’s Space Coast, which inspires many of the colorful settings in her books.
She won the Golden Quill for best hot romance for Bohemia Blues, which was also a National Readers’ Choice Awards finalist. Bohemia Beach was a finalist for the Golden Quill. And Risky Whiskey, Jiggered by Gin and Shocked by Champagne were finalists for the Silver Falchion Award for best comedy mystery.
I’ve always loved mysteries and adventure. … I also love snarky humor and romance, so this series was a way to include all of these ingredients to mix up a fresh, fun cocktail in a voice that feels really natural to me.
