James E. Lorraine writes like a man with something to prove—and a legacy to protect. His words aren’t just stories. They’re confessions. Crowned in shadow and forged in silence, James built his empire by defying the rules the world gave him. Raised in a space that didn’t make room for men like him—Black, brilliant, and emotionally complex—he rose anyway. First in tech. Then in literature. Now in power.
As one of the nation’s top cybersecurity and biometrics professionals, James remains deep in the trenches of digital warfare. His white papers have informed U.S. Department of Defense initiatives, his leadership has shaped national strategy, and his insights have influenced government agencies and global enterprises alike. He doesn’t just write stories—he’s lived through systems that collapse and rebuild from within.
His debut novel, Heavy is the Crown, isn’t just a love story—it’s a war cry wrapped in silk and sin, a masterclass in dominance, forgiveness, and emotional warfare. Written with the precision of a tactician and the fire of a man who’s survived what he writes about, Lorraine challenges readers to confront not just desire, but the dangerous devotion that often follows it.
James writes for the kings who carry scars under their suits… and the queens who kiss them anyway. He doesn’t write for everyone. He writes for the ones who stay.
Heavy is the Crown is only the beginning.
