Hi Everyone! It's Lauren Jackson here (or you might know me as!) If you don't recognise my username, you may have heard of or read some of my stories, such as Downright Delinquents, Childhood Sweethearts, Coach's Number One, Bad Liar or a few of my other books!

I've been a member of this wonderful community since 2012, back when I was fifteen! I've had an amazing time learning to write, meeting fantastic authors and being introduced to some amazing readers. I've learnt so much during my time here and I'm honoured to have been asked to join the Wattpad Block Party 2018, which is my first ever time participating!

For those who know me probably already know I'm Eminem-obsessed, constantly watching a new show on Netflix, the US T.V Prison Break is mentioned in 90% of my stories and I could eat tacos every night for the rest of my life and be totally happy with that. Oh, I also like to create worlds of indecisive and somewhat frustrating characters with baggage, attitude and a whole lot of hotness.

Anyway, enough about me and my obsessions. I'm here to talk about my current work in progress DARKER THAN SIN! To celebrate my new project, I'm going to do a small giveaway!

follows Haze and Ellie's bumpy road of first love. From dealing with their differences, disapproval from family and friends and trying to navigate through high school, the two certainly have a lot going on. With a dark past involving prison time for Haze and a girl who's had everything she's ever wanted, the two could not be more different. However, that just makes them more drawn to each other.

Need further encouragement to check it out?

This is Haze.

(+ some drool-worthy tattoos).

There's also a boat load of other attractive and fun-loving celebrities playing your favourite cast, such as Riverdale's Lili Reinhart, Stranger Thing's Finn Wolfhard and Teen Wolf's Dylan O'Brien.

Need further proof? Check out this amazing trailer by my gal ADreamingReality!

is a chaotic young-adult romance, so far separated into two halves (if I can squish all my crazy ideas into these two parts, of course). Part One is completed so far with Part Two currently on-going (both parts are posted under the same book and title).

Some comments I've received from Wattpad readers;

– "Darker Than Sin is a beautiful, addictive story about first love, heart break and discovering yourself. It's a story about redirecting your life to becoming a better person. There are some important issues discussed in this story which is important in the world of today. I would recommend this story to anyone."

– "Darker Than Sin is a chaotic world full of drama, love and teen angst, which are three of my favorite things! If I could rate this story five stars, I would!"

– "This story is the sh*t. Read it. Just do it."

So, what do you think of ? Does it sound like the type of book you want to read? If so, you can find it on my profile or you can follow this link!
