Layne Fargo writes dark, dramatic stories that support women’s rights—and also women’s wrongs. She’s the author of the novels THEY NEVER LEARN and TEMPER, co-author of the #1 bestselling Audible Original series YOUNG RICH WIDOWS, and co-creator of the UNLIKEABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS podcast on Lit Hub Radio.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Layne worked as a dramaturg, a librarian, and a knowledge manager, and she still loves going down a good research rabbit hole. She lives in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago 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.
