About Zane

Zane is an American author of fiction. Known as The Queen of Erotica, Zane is best known for writing novels that focus on erotica, romance, and seduction, as well as love and drama. It is also the pen name of real-life human being Kristina Laferne Roberts. She is a bestselling author that has been on The New York Times list for many of the novels that include Afterburn, The Hot Box, The Heat Seekers, Shame on It All, and more. Zane– or Roberts as she is known when not on the page– first began writing erotic fiction as something to do as a hobby when her children went to bed for the night. What started as something to pass the time when she was relaxing after a day of working as a sales rep turned into an interest and then a career. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Sex Chronicles Books series, Zane has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
