I’m Hayden Mank, but you might know me as K.B. Lacey—the same author you’ve come to love, now with a fabulous new pen name! Why the change, you ask? Well, I like to think of it as my superhero alter ego. By day, I write delightful children's books, and by night, I dive into the world of romance novels—where the plots are steamier, and the characters definitely don’t need nap time.
I figured it was best to keep my adult adventures separate from my kid-friendly tales. I mean, no child needs to know about my steamy love stories, right? So join me on this wild ride as I juggle my dual identities—let’s see how many characters I can keep straight without losing my mind (or my coffee)!
