Layla Reyne, a 2016 RWA Golden Heart Finalist, is a member of Romance Writers of America and its chapter in the Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Kiss of Death, and Rainbow Romance Writers. She was raised in North Carolina and now calls San Francisco home. She enjoys weaving her bicoastal experiences into her stories, along with adrenaline-fueled suspense and heart pounding romance. When she's not writing stories to excite her readers, she downloads too many books, watches too much television, and cooks too much food with her scientist husband, much to the delight of their smushed-face, leftover-loving dogs.
