Podium Secures Print Rights for C.R. Jane’s BookTok Hit The Pucking Wrong Series

Podium is thrilled to announce the acquisition of North American print publishing rights to The Pucking Wrong series, the bestselling hockey romance from C.R. Jane.

C.R. Jane is an Amazon bestseller who started independently publishing The Pucking Wrong series in 2023, while Podium partnered with her and published the series in audio, to rave reviews from fans. This BookTok sensation continues to be a favorite within the romance community. Podium is excited to expand its relationship with C.R. Jane and bring this series to fans in print at retail outlets in partnership with Two Rivers Distribution. Stephanie Phillips at SBR Media negotiated the deal with Podium’s Publisher, Victoria Gerken. 

C.R. Jane said, “I knew the team at Podium would be a great fit for The Pucking Wrong series. They understand the special nature of The Pucking Wrong world, where found family meets dark romance meets hysterical brotherhood banter, all wrapped in a delicious hockey package. As the Pucking boys would say, ‘Podium is definitely in the Circle of Trust.’ Working with Podium to expand the reach of this series is a dream come true, and I’m so excited to see the results of this partnership.”

Victoria Gerken said, “C.R. has built an incredibly passionate readership for her series, and we’re excited to further amplify her work and expand her readership by making it available in retail outlets across North America.”   

Podium will start bringing the titles to market—commencing with The Pucking Wrong Number (The Pucking Wrong series, Book 1)—in summer 2024.
