Hi, I’m Lauren Layne. I’m a writer living in New York City.

I’m probably best known for writing romance novels, but I write other stuff too.

I don’t limit myself to content pillars or specific topics, so mind the rabbit holes.

Journal — longform musings

Micros — mini-essays on life

Lists & Stuff —  what it sounds like

Novels — new york times bestselling romance

Star Nonsense — astrology

Selected Stuff — Updated Oct 2026

Anth and I are finishing up a rom-com called Isn’t It Romantic.

Here’s what I read in September.

Since it’s Harry Potter season.

It’s also Libra Season.

But thank goodness, no longer summer.

Love on Lexington Avenue is a Kindle Monthly Deal, only $1.99.

An open letter to my fellow introverts.

Novel Stuff

My most recent book is Miranda in Retrograde.

As mentioned above, next book will be out in 2027.

Backlist book I’ve been thinking a lot about lately.

If I had to pair all of my books with a Taylor Swift song ( ← this is vital work, guys).

Nothing is for sure, but there is movie/tv news brewing. 👀

If I could only recommend one of my books to people who don’t want to read sex scenes.

If you want to read one of my books and like spice, this one’s pretty quintessential me.

Randos

A list of my favorite tech tools.

An essay on writing to feel less alone.

If you don’t feel like your zodiac sign, it might be the moon’s fault.

This novel is my worst seller and one of my top favorites.

Not every.
