Hi, I'm Layne.
I’m a California-born author and creative coach for writers, and I live in Berlin and Bulgaria.
My first book, Driving Hungry (Vintage, 2016), is a travel memoir that “recalls [Hemingway’s] A Moveable Feast,” according to Canada’s National Post. O, The Oprah Magazine, called it “sparkling.”
"Fire Weather," my novel-in-progress, is the story of two unconventional women who test the limits of their friendship in the midst of mass protests in Bulgaria. Read my research diary here.
