Louise was born in the same hospital where George Orwell wrote 1984. When growing up in East Kilbride in the 80s, it was clear to see the legacy he left; there was a library on every corner and two nuclear bunkers. She went to Glasgow University and achieved a Master of Arts. She then joined the sensible corporate world of paper shuffling. For the last 25 years, her career has culminated in various promotions to the heady heights where she now tells stories for a living. She still shuffles paper, but virtually now, so that’s progress.

Dimensions  by Louise McLaughlin
"This is a really interesting read! A mix of genres, which I find a little difficult to describe, time travel, dystopian & a feeling of apocalyptic, was definitely in the back ground. Good ideas, a little slow at moments as it did feel there was quite" Read more of this review »

Absolutely loved this. It is a wild ride, moving from a new colonisation of a new planet and three centuries previous the development of the plan and execution. The changes of scenes from future to past were brilliant. I would get lost in the past sc ...more

Darkness by Louise McLaughlin
"A Deliciously Dark Collection
All three stories in this compact collection are deliciously unsettling. Louise McLaughlin’s crisp dialogue and droll humour add an unnerving edge, showing how cruel actions have consequences.
The standout for me was Night" Read more of this review »
