An avid reader since the moment they learned to read, Lena began creating stories and sharing them online at fourteen. It was ten years later that Lena’s mlm romantic comedy Our Strange Love made its debut on Wattpad, becoming featured as Book of the Month by Wattpad’s official LGBTQ profile. In 2018, the queer coming-of-age drama of the same universe, When Best Friends Kiss, won a Watty Award.

Following a rebranding, Lena branched out to sci-fi and fantasy comedy often featuring trans and non-binary characters. Most notable during this era is the premium Tapas novel The God of Love is a Deadbeat. After completion of the two-part series, Lena retired due to disability in 2020.

The draft was the third I was readying for self-publishing. I now have a fourth draft and plan to pursue traditional in 3 years, so I decided to remove it permanently. You can read the second draft on Tapas and the first on Wattpad. Hope that's okay.(less)
