There is a moment in every great fantasy novel where the world cracks open and something impossible becomes real. That moment is what JC Croyle writes toward.
Based in Wisconsin, JC writes New Adult fiction for readers who have aged out of young adult but still want stories with genuine stakes, real emotion, and love that costs something. New Adult is a bridge — between the intensity of youth and the weight of experience — and it is exactly where the most interesting stories live.
The Threadbound series began with a question: what happens when four strangers are bound together not by choice but by something older and more insistent than choice? What does trust actually cost? What does it look like when the person you least expected becomes the person you cannot do without?
JC came to writing the way most writers do — through reading. CS Lewis built the door. Tolkien showed what was on the other side. Laurell K Hamilton proved that genre fiction could carry real emotional weight without apologizing for it. Those three writers between them explain most of what you will find in a JC Croyle novel.
When not writing, JC plays and writes music, watches films obsessively, and spends time with family.
The Threadbound series is ongoing. There is more to come.
