《Cupid's Match : CUPID'S MATCH BOOK 1》Published version of Cupid's Match: out today!!!
Advertisement
I can't believe the day has finally come! I started Cupid's Match back in 2015 as a wannabe author writing about cupids on the Internet, and today it actually hits bookstores as an actual book! How is this real life?!?! Thank you all so much for sticking with me for all of this time. I couldn't have done it without you. :)

Yes! In case you missed it, an all new version of Cupid's Match hits bookstores in the US and Canada on 1st October (today!!), and hits stores in the UK on 3rd October!
Yes! The version on Wattpad is a very rough draft. I posted chapters for you as I was writing it, and I was figuring out the story for myself as I did so!
The published version is based on the Wattpad version - so it still has all the bits you love - but it's different. I took on board your feedback, I revised and rewrote it with a clearer idea of who the characters were and what I wanted the story to be, and then I worked with some amazing professional editors who tore it apart and helped me put it back together again to make it much much better!
There are lots of new scenes, more character and world development, more Cupid, Cal, and Lila! And the story differs in quite a few places! I'm really proud of it and I'm so excited for you to read all the new bits!!

Never! The first draft will always remain here for you to read for free. I hope you'll want to check out the new version if you can as it really supports me as an author, but Wattpad has always been the home for Cupid's Match and I don't plan on changing that. You guys supported me, helped shape the story, and even though it's a rough version of the book it holds a special place in my heart!
No worries! The first draft will always be free here on Wattpad! You can also ask your local library to stock Cupid's Match so you can borrow it for free!
I'm also planning on running some Cupid's Match giveaways in future!

Thank you all so much for your support. When I first started writing on Wattpad I had no idea anyone would want to read my action- packed supernatural book about cupids, arrows, and general mythological mayhem! I'm so often overwhelmed by all your kindness, votes, jokes, and comments. Writing is hard, and it can be a lonely process. It has been such a blessing to have you all here with me, keeping me going and making it so much fun. I'm so grateful, and I'm so excited for all the things yet to come!
Lots of love to you all!
Lauren

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Death Drive
In the near future, most work has been relegated to machines and people are content to spend their time immersed in virtual reality, something they cannot get enough of. Thomas Walker, an ex-racecar driver who blames the hidden algorithms that run society for losing everything that is important to him, finds himself at the center of a string of bizarre vehicular attacks and becomes assured that someone is out to get him. Meanwhile, Lucas Bennett, an anxiety-ridden software engineer, is contracted by the leading artificial intelligence corporation in the US to decipher the inner workings of their flagship AI that have become incomprehensible even to themselves, a job that he is very invested in since he considers technology the solution to his personal as well as mankind’s timeless problems. Unknown to the public at large, the CEO of the company is bent on unleashing the full capabilities of that AI to handle every single aspect of society and individual lives. When all hell breaks loose, the two men and those close to them team up to survive and fight back against the horde of vehicular attackers and the Intelligence behind them while also clashing together over their views: is artificial intelligence a way to humanity’s salvation or doom? Betrayal abounds, nothing is as it seems and the traffic is a real killer. The story is finished and I will be publishing a new chapter every Friday. If that seems too slow for you, you can get the book at Amazon
