《Cupid's Match : CUPID'S MATCH BOOK 1》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Dear Lila,
I am contacting you on behalf of The Cupids Matchmaking Service.
You will not have heard of us but we are an organization that works behind the scenes of society, identifying each person's perfect match.
Usually we would not contact our clients. We prefer to work in secrecy - setting up the ideal environment for the two matches to have a chance encounter.
Recently, however, we ran your details through our system and...well...in your case...
We think you'd better come in.
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Yours Urgently,
The Cupids Matchmaking Service
Hi! I'm Lauren! It's so nice to meet you!
Welcome to the magical and mythological world of Cupid's Match!
It's a world filled with crime-lord sirens, cupid hitmen, magic arrows, high school drama, and a mischievous love god whom our main character, Lila, can't quite stop herself from falling for...!
I started writing Cupid's Match on Wattpad back in 2015 and I had so much fun writing it. But I should warn you. . . this Wattpad version of Cupid's Match is a FIRST DRAFT! You are reading the original, raw, rough version which means that alongside the general cupid chaos, you find spelling and grammar errors.
(Also - sometimes you might THINK there is a spelling mistake, but actually it's because I'm British! I live in London and we spell things differently to America over here! Where are you from? Let me know in the comments!)
Due to it being a first draft you will also encounter some general weirdness in terms of plot, characters, structure, and story development.
The Cupid's Match trilogy has also been published in French (Maudit Cupidon) and German (Everlasting Love). Book one is available in Spanish under the name 'El Match de Cupido'!
I will always leave this version here on Wattpad for you to read because - even though it's a very rough version of the story - it holds a special place in my heart, and Wattpad readers helped shape it into what it is today.

But if you're interested in the published version, or you just generally want to know what I'm up to, come follow me here on Wattpad (click ---> ), or on social media for updates.
I'm on
For any fellow Wattpadders looking for tips on how to get reads, I wrote down some of the things that helped me when I was starting out with Cupid's Match. You can check them out in the tips books available on my profile. Or head over to my blog where I post writing advice (www.LaurenPalphreyman.com/blog).
Hope you enjoy the story!
love,
Lauren

Crimson Astral Cascade
Summary: A vampire-astronaut from a futuristic super-reality, is reborn into a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and now must make a living for himself and his family as a summonable spirit of the void. The ‘chosen’ son of a vast, multiversal, empire is exiled for the sake of political expediency. Honestly, they might have been trying to execute him, rather than just sending him away, but as it turned out, he survived. He fell into the grand nebula, the sewage line, and the plumbing system for the cosmos. Then he was within the base layer of the collective of mostly-destroyed universes known as the core worlds of Tesson. Now for the sake of his new family and new life, he will have to do his best as a “heroic” Astral, traveling between the myriad fractal-worlds of Tesson that still reside outside of the nebula as means of making a living. TLDR: Who hasn’t played a gacha game by now. But have you ever wondered about what kind of life those characters you’re trying to win have lived and are living? Posted only Scribblehub and Royal Road Confirmation Sequence: 2, 4, 16, 32, 64, 128…Tasty Cool.

The Man Who Walked in the Dark
Just because it can be found, doesn't mean it should. All things found, all things fixed. Jude Demarco was the best private detective Nicodemia Station had ever ignored. Detective, handyman, medic.

When a collector arrives in a private cruiser from Earth looking for a stolen painting, Demarco has to decide if a few dimes are worth dealing with the worst of the worst in Nicodemia Station. It'll pit him against crime lords, government bureaucrats, and, even worse, the Catholic Church. If there's anything folks get too passionate about, it's art and religion. No sane person would take a job that mixed the two. Then again, sometimes a person just gets desperate.
