Louise McLaughlin

Louise McLaughlin writes sharp, witty urban fantasy that blends mythology, satire, and modern conspiracies with a distinctly Scottish edge. Her work combines character-driven humour, high-concept ideas, and a love of stories where the extraordinary collides messily with everyday life.

A lifelong reader of Douglas Adams, Tom Holt and Terry Pratchett, Louise brings that same blend of irreverence and heart to her own worlds — where gods misbehave, bureaucrats panic, and reality has a habit of cracking at the seams.

When she isn’t writing about supernatural chaos in Glasgow, she can be found exploring speculative science, championing ethical procurement, or drinking tea while plotting her next impossible idea.
