How it all began

Lailo began making spicy audio roleplays under the alias, ‘coquettedoll’ which ultimately led her down a path of taking interest in putting her ideas on paper so that they could be refined. Yet, it was long before this that she created little poems and nonfiction stories for her peers in grade school.

Like most, Lailo got her start on wattpad with short and unfinished works. Her first attempt at a full length novel was ‘I’d Keep Her Bound’ a taboo age gap story about Safana and her step father Rig. This story gained traction and ranked #1 for graphic content on wattpad.

Lailo went on to continue writing short stories to perfect her craft. She is currently pursuing a bachelor’s in english with a focus on literature, linguistics, art, and film studies.

The playful anticipation and andrenaline between them and the cost of grief we pay when we indulge.
