James E. Lorraine

Author of Heavy is the Crown

James E. Lorraine didn’t grow up in the spotlight — he grew up earning it. Raised in rooms where silence had weight and presence had to be earned, he learned early that power isn’t always loud. It’s built in the quiet, shaped in the shadows, and revealed when it’s least expected. Heavy is the Crown isn’t just a debut novel — it’s a challenge to conventional storytelling. It’s velvet rage, whispered danger, emotional armor with gold trim. And like its author, it doesn’t beg for attention — it demands to be felt. James writes with heat, hunger, and the kind of voice that doesn’t wait for permission. His stories come wrapped in elegance, sharpened by experience, and designed to hit where you least expect it: right between the words.

“I don’t write to be liked. I write to be felt — in the quiet, in the tension, in the places most stories won’t go.”
