Gordon Ian MacLeod is a Scottish author and playwright who lives in Hoole village in Chester.
His ninth novel, "Parallel Experiences", is currently out on submission to literary agents.
He is revising and editing two new novels over the coming months:
'Raise the Gangway', is a philosophical novel, which is set on the Isle of Arran.
'M.E.G.A. (Ascent of a Nation)', is a dystopian work of fiction, about England on the cusp of its descent into fascism.
In 2025, he released his eighth novel, 'An t-Eilean Dorcha (The Dark Island)', a place where the wind tells stories, the land remembers everything, and change is coming. It is a humorous novel, about the wind rush, where a small island community face a wind farm development on their island. It documents their often unconventional response to it.

This was preceded by a new work of historical fiction, a novella/short novel called, 'Proscription'. This tells the story of a small child, who is caught up in the events of the bloody massacre of Glencoe. It looks at how this traumatic experience in early life, defined the man he was to become.
