J.R. Barker writes contemporary M/M romances packed with humor, heart, and heat. He graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and a concentration in creative writing. And before you ask, no, every spicy scene is not about thick columns of basalt and volcanoes erupting.
J.R. spent two decades as a classroom teacher, and now he writes full-time from his home in Portland, Oregon. When J.R. is not writing romantic dramedies and dramatic comedies, he takes care of his daredevil son, saying things like, “No, I don’t think you should jump off that,” and hikes with his handsome dog, Orlando, who is a stereotypical chapter one romantic hero—cocky, willful, misunderstood, and, secretly, very sweet.
J.R. is an avid audiobook listener. Seriously, the guy puts his headphones on just to swap the laundry from the washer to the dryer.
