Meet the Author Behind the Pen

J.C. Macke is the author of the dark romance series, The Ten Sinners. What began as a single standalone story—Nine Years After—quickly spiraled into the nine-book series it is today, proving her mind never really knows how to stop creating once a story begins.

When she isn’t writing emotionally messy characters, morally gray love stories, and layered worlds filled with secrets, she’s a mom of two, the wife of a towboater, and a neurospicy creative whose imagination rarely slows down long enough to rest.

Alongside The Ten Sinners, she is also writing the dark southern romance series Carter Ranch and the MC trilogy Lilith’s Fallen Angels. Under the pen name Clover Bexx, she co-writes with her best friend, Jade Nyxx, creating the dark gothic romantasy universe Once Upon A Lie—a world where beloved childhood princesses, princes, fairytales, and mythological beings are reimagined into something far more dangerous, haunting, and seductive.

Every story she writes is layered with hidden truths, subtle clues, and details meant to be discovered long before the final reveal. Annotation has become one of her favorite ways to experience stories, both as a reader and a writer, and she loves crafting books that reward readers who look a little closer.

So if you love stories filled with secrets, tension, darkness, emotional chaos, and the kind of details that make you immediately start flipping back through pages, saying wait a damn minute—welcome. You’re exactly where you belong.
