LG Thomson Author Talk

LG Thomson answers the questions authors get asked by readers and shares some of her favourite books.
LG Thomson lives in Ullapool, a small fishing village in the Highlands of Scotland lying on the same latitude as Lost Cove, Alaska. She is the author of seven novels, including neo noir thriller Boyle's Law. Her first non-fiction book, Modernist Dreams Brutalist Nightmares, is a brutally honest and darkly funny memoir about being part of the first generation to grow up in Scotland’s most ambitious and experimental New Town. The sequel, Bitter Fruit, is an equally frank and funny memoir set in the 1980s (Outcast Press). Both books deal with themes of identity, change, and trauma, with LG's personal story set against the social and political landscapes of the time. Her writing has appeared in a wide range of literary publications and anthologies including Wyldblood Magazine, Put Out the Lights and Cry, and the Urban Pigs Hunger anthology.
