JP Joseph is a proud Italian-American, born and raised amid the vibrant culture and rich traditions of Detroit, Michigan. He now calls sunny Phoenix, Arizona home, where he live with his husband and their kids: four beloved dogs-each of whom enjoys gourmet homemade meals courtesy of JP's culinary passion. After spending years crafting stories in the advertising and public relations world, JP decided it was finally time to share the stories closest to his heart. His debut novel, King of Pain, draws deeply from personal experience, creating an emotionally powerful and semi-autobiographical tale of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery set against a nostalgic soundtrack of 80s bangers. King of Pain is the first book in the Damaged Hearts series
