Welcome
Dear Reader,
My author’s elixir is poured and waiting for you. Take a sip. Let it radiate. Relax.

My name is Lauren Lloyd. I’m the author of A Trip to the Moon, People Make Glasgow, some short stories and several experimental works in progress. There’s also my blog, Chappin’ at the Windae – gems of controversy, random musings, the occasional rant – posted there.
