Overview

Curtis Firdam thought a road trip with his new girlfriend would be all flirting, bad snacks, and motel sex. Instead, the drive to a fan convention for her most famous voice role detonates into emotional chaos, public humiliation, and a relationship suddenly forced to get real. Callie Cohen is a professional voice actor on her way to her first major convention-best known as the voice of Princess ZipZap, a beloved animated mouse with a devoted fanbase and a dangerously catchy falsetto. Off-mic, Callie is electric, funny, wildly sexual, and carrying more emotional weight than Curtis realizes. When a playful argument spirals out of control somewhere between the highway and a hotel lobby, Curtis finds himself dumped mid-trip and stranded in a Marriott hosting a Christian singles conference-while Callie weaponizes charm, confidence, and a room full of men who absolutely should not be talking to her. As the night unravels into disastrous misunderstandings, hotel bars gone feral, and an emotional reckoning neither of them planned for, Curtis must face the difference between enjoying someone and choosing them. Callie, meanwhile, has to decide whether she's willing to stay when things stop being easy-or if running has always been safer. Curtis and the Wanting of Princess ZipZap is a spicy romantic comedy about miscommunication, mental health, emotional courage, and what happens when a fantasy voice becomes a very real woman with real needs. Funny, filthy, tender, and unexpectedly honest, this is a love story that takes the long way on purpose-and proves some relationships need directions because they refuse to stay simple.

Author Information

Kira Lorne writes the kind of stories people read in private and remember in public. Before turning to fiction, she worked behind the camera as a producer in the adult film industry-where she learned how desire behaves when no one is pretending, how intimacy fractures or deepens under pressure, and how performance differs from truth. Those years gave her a rare, unfiltered education in sexuality, vulnerability, and power-one she now channels into stories that are sensual, emotional, and disarmingly honest. Today, Kira teaches literature at the university level, guiding students through narrative, voice, longing, and the quiet architecture of human connection. By night, she writes emotionally charged romance-stories where desire functions as language, not performance. Kira lives in Branson, Missouri, by way of California, where the landscape changed but her fascination with longing, reinvention, and quiet rebellion did not. She shares her home with a deeply unimpressed cat who believes all writing intentionally takes time away from belly rubs and scratches behind his ears. Her work is known for its softness, its sharpness, and its unapologetic heat. Not explicit for the sake of shock, but intimate because her characters earn it. ""I try to write desire the way it actually happens-messy, hopeful, and real."" Contact Kira at kiralorne1@gmail.com
