In this episode, we’re joined by Lauren Palphreyman and discuss how she got started writing serial fiction on Wattpad and Radish, the benefits and challenges of being an indie author, and what she’s most looking forward to after getting a print-only deal for The Wolf King series. We also spend the majority of our conversation discussing her romantasy books, The Wolf King and The Night Prince. We chat about how she came up with the idea of the series, Aurora’s character development, the ongoing love triangle between Aurora, Callum, and Blake, the twists she puts in the book to change the reader’s perception on a character, why so few mate bonds are accepted, her favorite line from the series, and what to expect in the next book.
Also, make sure to check out all of Lauren’s books:
- The Wolf King
- The Night Prince
- Cupid’s Match
- Devils Inc.
- A Circus of Ink
About Lauren Palphreyman
Lauren Palphreyman is an Amazon bestselling romantasy author. She likes to write strong and complicated men who respect women, women who can be soft as well as fierce, and romantasy tropes with a twist.
She is best known for The Wolf King, which has been described as werewolves meets Outlander, has been deemed ‘Best of Booktok’ on Amazon, and was listed as one of 'Readers' Favorite Romantasy Books of the Past 3 Years' on Goodreads.
The trilogy was recently acquired for traditional publication by Wayward TxF (UK), Bloom Books (US Print), and Simon Maverick (English Audio).
She got her start by writing serial fiction online, and you might also know her from her mythological paranormal series, CUPID’S MATCH, which was one of the top stories on Wattpad, garnered over 70 million ‘reads’ online, and was adapted into a digital pilot for The CW (unfortunately, we didn’t get the full series!).
She used to work as an analyst in the publishing industry. Now she spends her days writing about werewolves. A Yorkshire girl at heart, she currently lives in Surrey with her partner and their mischievous cockapoo – who steals far too much of her attention (and socks) while she’s trying to write!
