Hello from Scotland, Disclosure is released on the 23rd of this month. It is full of fun and the usual mayhem as I get ready for the new release. To celebrate the release, I have a fantastic competition for you. Books and Scottish treats... when I say treats... I can confirm there is Tablet. If you're not familiar with Tablet, imagine mixing a full bag of sugar with condensed milk and then a stick of butter... yip, it's exactly as sweet and unhealthy as you imagine, but it's heaven in a cube....

Hello from Scotland, Summer is upon us, the big bad burny thing was in the sky fleetingly. I was out in it for a whole 2 hours, and I look like a red-and-white candy cane (one half burnt, the other translucent Scottish white). I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch Scotland play in the World Cup for the first time in 28yrs. And we won...... In true Scottish fashion, I am now overly optimistic that we'll absolutley now win the World Cup. In more wonderful positive news: Drumroll............

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re having a good week. I was shocked this week when someone left a one-star rating on Discovery... I was really shocked as I didn't think my ex could read lol. Seriously, I absolutely accept my books, and my humour might not be everyone's taste, and I completely respect that. But since I don't have many reviews right now, this rating has affected the overall rating. Like Princess Leia... you are my only hope. I'm asking a tiny request that will make a huge difference....

Hello from Scotland, A year on from the publication of my debut novel. Wow, what a year. It's been a rollercoaster year, to say the least. I published two novels and reached #1 on Amazon rankings for both. I have published two perma-free offerings: a prequel to Discovery and a collection of short stories, both reaching the top 10 on Amazon. I have learned a lot about improving my writing and growing as an indie author. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and provided feedback. My third...

Hello from Scotland, I am grateful that spring is gently edging winter to the side. Winter has been tough; my day job contract ended, but on the plus side, that means I am a full-time author now. The universe has a way of working things out, and some amazing things have happened! 1: DISCLOSURE: is finished and it is out for querying, so if you want to suggest any agents who might be interested in a quirky urban fantasy then please do get in touch. 2: Reached 12,000 followers on social media....

What a January! Well hello there, I just wanted to say thank you to all my amazing readers who have bought or reviewed my books. The first week back to work I was let go from my day job (re-structuring). They gave me one week notice, no redundancy etc. So I am now a full time author, with the books being my only income now. So if you can share the links, buy or review etc I would forever be grateful. Even just sharing the links will be amazing. I would appreciate your support in any way you...

Louise McLaughlin - reader club Autumn escape into a book. The leaves have begun to turn and the last of the summer has ignited natures fireworks. In Scotland it can be a beautiful time of the year. Here's a wee painting I did a few years ago. I love this week Halloween and Bonfire night. There's something about these nights of hidden faces and fire I find enchanting. The night suddenly seems to turn colder after this week, and then I find myself wanting to prepare for hibernating by grabbing...
