Layne Fargo writes dark, dramatic stories that support women’s rights—and also women’s wrongs. She’s the author of psychological thrillers THEY NEVER LEARN and TEMPER, co-author of the #1 bestselling Audible Original series YOUNG RICH WIDOWS (coming to paperback in spring 2024), and co-creator of the UNLIKEABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS podcast on Lit Hub Radio. Her first work of women’s fiction THE FAVORITES is forthcoming from Random House in early 2025. Before becoming a full-time writer, Layne worked as a dramaturg, a librarian, and a corporate knowledge manager, and she still loves going down a good research rabbit hole. She lives in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood with a rescue pit bull and cat who are best friends, the only man she never wants to murder (well, almost never), and way too many books.
