Lauren Helms is a romance author whose stories are a delightful blend of nerdy, flirty, and a little bit dirty. All of her stories are set in a big city with a small-town feel where a happily ever after is guaranteed. 

Lauren's journey began in the world of books, leading her from a career at a video game strategy guide publisher to launching a book review website, where she discovered her passion for merging her expertise in video games with the allure of romance, leading to the creation of her popular Gamer Boy series. As her writing career blossomed, Lauren authored multiple novels and founded Indie Pen PR, a dynamic company dedicated to helping fellow romance authors promote their HEAs and swoon-worthy book boyfriends.

Outside of Romancelandia, Lauren's passions include indulging in iced coffee, colorful pens, and meticulously organized planners. She is an avid romance reader, a dedicated sports mom, and a devoted fan of shows like Schitt's Creek, Bridgerton, and Only Murders in the Building.

A true Hoosier at heart, Lauren hails from Indiana, and she resides in Indianapolis. There, she shares her love for books with her husband, along with three young, aspiring kid nerds who, just like their parents, hope to craft their very own happily ever afters.
