Lauren Biel
Laurenâs stories are often emotionally raw, with lots of twists and turns. She describes her writing as âwhere light meets darkâ, which represents how her witty humor compliments the darkness in every story. Instead of trying to mold her writing to fit in a box, she chooses to be unapologetically herself. While her focus is on Romance with dark elements, subgenre is no constraint for her. The common theme in every book is finding love when you least expect it. She enjoys putting her characters through tribulations, allowing their triumphs to be that much more poignant. Make sure you have your seatbelts secured. Itâs always a bumpy ride.
