Who is JR Cross?

JR Cross writes urban fantasy for men who want their stories straight — no fluff, no chosen-one nonsense, just a stubborn, unmagical private investigator named Maxwell Graves who keeps wading into a world of monsters, magic, and mayhem because someone has to.

Cross is a senior software engineer by day and urban fantasy writer by night, juggling the two the best he can. When he's not writing or working, he likes to relax with a strategy game, or cook his favorite cuisines: Indian, Thai, and he even rolls his own sushi.

Cross writes the kind of fiction he grew up wanting to read — gritty, fast-paced, and honest about what it costs to stand between the ordinary world and the dark one beneath it.

Untouched By Magic — JR Cross

The Maxwell Graves Series — Book One

Untouched By Magic

4.8  •  Amazon Best-Seller

Maxwell Graves has seen it all. Two tours overseas, and four years running a private investigation firm in a city where magic hummed beneath every street corner. And he never suspected a thing. Just like everyone else..

That is, until a curse went wrong and made him immune to magic. Completely immune. Now, he sees through the Veil. He sees the monsters that live among us. In a world where power is everything, Graves survives on sheer stubbornness, sharp instincts, and a black cat named Duchess who is almost certainly smarter than him.

When a routine missing persons case pulls him into a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the magical underworld, Graves discovers there are some truths the supernatural community will kill to keep buried.
