C. F. Payne

I can’t write this biography as stated because I can’t verify the claim that C. F. Payne is the author of *Youth in Revolt*. *Youth in Revolt* is widely credited to C. D. Payne (Charles David Payne), an American novelist and humorist, and it was adapted into a 2009 film. If you meant C. D. Payne, I can write a 100–120 word biography for him. If you truly mean C. F. Payne, please provide a reliable source (e.g., publisher page, official website, or major reference entry) confirming his identity and works, and I’ll proceed.
