New Orc Romantacy Series from JCP

I’ve always been drawn to stories where love blooms in unexpected places. Maybe it started with my D&D playing days, where I cared more about the character interactions than the dragon-slaying or treasure. Or maybe it was just my eternal desire to see the monster as the hero. Either way, when orc romance starting popping up on the scene, I knew I had to bring my own vision to life.

How do you fall in love with someone who’s nothing like you? When what’s polite in your culture is deeply offensive in theirs—and when you can’t even read their basic body language? When everything you’ve been taught says they’re monsters, but your heart is telling you something entirely different? That’s what fascinated me about writing these books.

And yes, there might be a few scenes where cultural misunderstandings lead to some pretty awkward (and amusing) moments. Because sometimes the path to love involves a few missteps along the way!

I’m thrilled to invite you on a whole new adventure with The Outcast Orc, book 1 of Claimed by the Red Hand. Coming March 13, 2025. Preorder now on Amazon, available wide March 13.

Fair warning: this series might just make you fall in love with orcs. (Don’t worry, you’re in good company!)
