She was the winner of the Grolsch/Company Magazine Question of Style Creative Writing Award and was subsequently shortlisted for the Dundee Book Prize. Her writing has appeared in a wide range of anthologies and literary publications including Wyldblood Magazine, Epoch Press, and Art North.
She is the author of seven novels and two memoirs. Her novels include Boyle's Law, a neo-noir novel set in the Highlands, survival thriller Each New Morn, and The New Dark dystopian trilogy.
Modernist Dreams Brutalist Nightmares is a searingly honest and brutally funny memoir about being part of the first generation to grow up in Scotland's most ambitious and experimental New Town. Its sequel, Bitter Fruit, is a frank and darkly funny book about coming to terms with trauma and trying to find your way in an unforgiving world.
LG has extensive experience of facilitating creative writing workshops for all ages and has devised several courses including Green Ink, a project for young writers aged 16 to 25. She is the co-tutor of a unique creative writing and expressive art course at Bridge House Art in Ullapool and runs creative writing workshops for Open Book in Ullapool and Coigach.
