Meet the Author behind the masks
J.R. Hale is a Midwestern writer with a Floridian soul and a lifelong obsession with the kind of stories that live in the dark corners of your imagination.
Born with a love for the written word and zero interest in playing it safe, she writes romance that doesn't apologize for itself — morally grey men who mean every word they say, women who are never just waiting to be saved, and worlds that pull you in so deep you forget to come up for air.
When she isn't writing, she's chasing the sun, wrangling her loyal pack, and mentally living somewhere with better weather.
Her debut series, Chosen Prey, is exactly the kind of dark romance she always wanted to read and couldn't find. So she built it herself.
Grey becomes your new favorite color.

J.R Hale is currently living in the Chosen Prey universe, where sounds haunt the trees and the shadows are waiting to strike. Here’s a bit about book two; Little Bird.
GREY
I've been a part of the W.W. since the very first hunt. I know the rules and the game better than any other player in these woods. So when the invitation showed up, I couldn't wait to play again.
CONGRATULATIONS, SOMEONE AT W.W. HAS TAKEN AN INTEREST IN YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED TO THE HUNT.
I'm thrilled. I know every trail, every advantage, and I can't wait to see how the next forty hours end.
What I didn't account for? The pink hunter lurking around every corner, just waiting to end my game early.
Little Bird is the second book in the Chosen Prey Series, built around an invitation-only primal play weekend long event. Think Survivor mechanics wrapped in a dark romance fantasy: immunity idols, hidden advantages, and a $50k prize for the last player standing. Except instead of a million viewers at home, you have one hunter dialed in on you specifically and forty hours to run out the clock.
I've been the final girl every single time. Let's see if you can say the same.
