About Layna James
Portrait by Priti Das
Layna lives in Texas with her family, an anxiety-ridden Rottie named Ruby, and way too many ideas about future projects.
Her stories feature diverse characters who navigate the complexities of life while falling in love. Witty banter and swoon-worthy moments are her favorite things to write.
Layna loves fuzzy socks, most kinds of dessert, and all genres of music. Before she begins each story, Layna spends hours curating the perfect playlists and listens on repeat until the second draft is finished.
