Dick Bateman

Dick Bateman is a disgusting pig and an author of high heat MM romance with heart. He resides in the rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest with his husband.

Dick is the author of Claimed, a four-part epic fantasy gay orc erotica series that forms the core of an orc universe. Though set in a shared universe, any of his orc stories, novellas, or novels stand alone and can be enjoyed without prior knowledge.

Dick puts his creative writing degree from a no-name Midwestern university to great use exploring romance within the realms of both fantasy and reality. He is a monster lover, but sometimes he writes about humans too.

Dick's work often pulls inspiration from his personal experiences. He believes that high heat romance needs to care about the characters and connections between them.

Dick is a full DIY guy. He may not be the best artist, but he does his own cover art and design with heart.
