Outliers Get to Know guest host Tracey Devlyn sits down with Kimberly Belle, Layne Fargo, Cate Holahan, and Vanessa Lillie to talk about their newest collaboration—DESPERATE DEADLY WIDOWS, an Amazon Audible Original bestseller, now in ebook and paperback. High heels. High stakes. Higher body count. In 1987 Providence, four unforgettable widows are back—and when a honey-pot scheme goes sideways, they’re thrust into a scandal involving the city's sleaziest mayor, buried secrets, and explosive betrayals. With loyalties fraying and revenge in the air, these women must decide if friendship is worth dying for.   Kimberly Belle is the USA Today and internationally bestselling author of suspense novels including The Paris Widow, The Marriage Lie, a Goodreads Choice Awards semifinalist for Best Mystery & Thriller, and the co-authored #1 Audible Original, Young Rich Widows. Her books have been published in dozens of languages and optioned for film and television. https://www.kimberlybellebooks.com   Layne Fargo has a background in theater, women’s studies, and library science, so it’s only fitting that she now writes deliciously dramatic, unapologetically feminist stories for a living. Layne lives in Chicago with her partner, their pets, and an ever-expanding collection of books she’s definitely going to read before she dies. https://www.laynefargo.com   Cate Holahan is a USA Today Bestselling thriller/suspense author and screenwriter. A bi-racial Jamaican and Irish American writer, Cate is a member of Crime Writers of Color, Sisters in Crime, and The Authors Guild. She has an MFA in Dramatic Writing from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts ’23 and a BA from Princeton University. She lives in Tenafly, NJ, with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs, and spends many a break in Jamaica, where she’s also a citizen. https://www.cateholahan.com   Vanessa Lillie is the USA Today bestselling author of Blood Sisters, which was a Target Book Club pick and GMA Book Club Buzz Pick, as well as a best mystery of the year from the Washington Post and Reader’s Digest. Originally from Miami, Oklahoma, she is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She hosts a weekly Instagram Live show, ‘Twas the Night Before Book Launch, where she chats with authors the night before their book is out in the world. https://vanessalillie.com
