Update! 
          
          I’ve decided to unpublish Road To Utopia until I can give it the attention it deserves. Behind the scenes I have another two books on the go and I want to give them all the time they need. Between a 9-5 and a small business, I don’t want to over-commit and disappoint!
          
          FOTF will stay up as it’s complete - though I’m messing around with that idea to rewrite it at the moment. But because FOTF and it’s characters are my ultimate pride and joy, I’m going to need to nurture that for a long ol’ time.
          
          Thank you for reading this, and I’m so sorry my activity has dropped off the face of the Earth. I don’t want to be MIA, but sometimes you have to prioritise your mental health and work had really drained my energy. I really hope you understand, and I want to support all of your journeys in any way I can. I haven’t been reading at all recently so if you need me to give some feedback/r4r give me a nudge!!

To all my r4r friends and active readers of Road To Utopia, I’m so sorry for being so inactive as of late. I’ve had quite a terrible time at work and it’s safe to say it has consumed most of my energy - for much longer than I’d hoped. 
          
          I’m trying to keep that motivation but to be able to write something I’m proud of, I need to give myself the time I need to work on it. 
          
          At the moment, I’m playing around with the idea of rewriting The Fall of the Fainthearts as a traditional novel, as opposed to the documentary format that it is currently. Please let me know your thoughts on this! 
          
          I will get round to my r4r’s as soon as possible and I’m so sorry for slacking on them. Give me a nudge if needed and I will get to it asap!
          
          Thank you for being so understanding and still interacting with my books and page. I’m so grateful to have people that enjoy my work, and to have people who give such great feedback and write such entertaining stories for me to give my own feedback on!
          
          Thank you, again,

Kitty Winslet is on top of the world. At least - everybody thinks she is. As she navigates the tumultuous world of fame after childhood stardom, Sawyer Grant wouldn't recognise her if she was standing right beside her latest blockbuster's billboard. When the two collide in an unexpected exchange, mixed feelings in unknown territory leave them both wondering the same question; who is going to be the one to sacrifice all they've ever known? Or is it better for them to just forget they ever met? 

I'm entering an Awards competition! If you'd like to submit your own book to a category, here's the link:

          A brand new chapter of ‘Road To Utopia’ is up now! Amelia is sick to her stomach with fear over a supposed serial killer on the loose, while Ryker is beginning to question his perception of his relationship with Naomi. 

“He warns me with his eyes to stay away from his girlfriend. I raise my brows back at him in challenge, as if to return with 'game on'.”
          
          The first two chapters of ‘Road To Utopia’ are up now! Get ready for a rollercoaster of unrequited love, love triangles and tragedy as a group of lifelong friends embark on the trip of a lifetime. It’s time for you to meet the gang. 

Hi! I just read your post on reddit about R4R. I'll drop you some comment love/votes. I'm doing rounds of R4R with writers for my story Bring Me to Your Stars. I'd love to exchange with you. 

Hi all! 
          
          I wanted to post a quick update to let you know what I have going on behind the scenes following the completion of 'The Fall of the Fainthearts' last month. I understand there's been radio silence from me since the final chapter, so here is what I'm working on! 
          
          Currently, I have two WIP's. The first is called 'Road To Utopia'. This centres around a group of unlikely childhood friends who embark on a road trip to the renowned 'Utopia Fest' - a grunge music festival halfway up the country. However, the trip is turned completely on it's head when one of the lifelong friends mysteriously dies. They're left stranded in unfamiliar territory without phone reception or a clue as to what happened to their friend. Top it off with an apparent serial killer on the loose in the area, and you've got the trip that nightmares are made of. Chock full of romantic dilemmas and fiery drama, time is ticking and they're left with one question - who's going to be next? Because they know it's only a matter of time.
          
          The second is called 'The Circus of the Strange'. This involves a notorious circus set in 1930's France which consistently avoids accusations of something occurring behind closed curtains. When Detective Blanchet and his mysterious motive secretly pulling the strings are the first to ever decline the irresistible bribe for silence, it soon becomes clear that there is much more to the performance than meets the eye. What drives these acts is fear, enslavement, and vulnerability. It's time to finally find out more.
          
          Currently, neither of these have a release date but I am actively working on writing up the first drafts now. I hope that they've piqued your interest and you'll be sticking around for more!
          
          As always, thank you so much for your support on my first work. I hope that I continue to write stories that you, personally, enjoy for many years to come.
          
          Lauren :)
