Layne Fargo

Layne Fargo writes killer books for feminist killjoys. She’s the author of the thriller novels Temper and They Never Learn (currently in development as a television show), and coauthor of the bestselling Audible Original Young Rich Widows. She also co-created, co-hosts, and produces the podcast Unlikeable Female Characters on Lit Hub Radio.

Layne lives in Chicago with a rescue pit bull and cat who are best friends, and the only man she never wants to murder (well, almost never). When she’s not plotting twisted stories, she enjoys long walks in the local cemetery, binging trashy TV shows, and spending all her money at indie bookstores.
