Kevin McLeod

Kevin lives in Hamilton, Scotland with his wife, Kathleen, and their two daughters. He has always been a keen writer, and has written many short stories.

The Viking's Apprentice was Kevin's first novel and is the first book in the greatly anticipated Viking's Apprentice series.

Inspiration for the series came from many things. The village Kathleen grew up in provided the layout for Campbell's Cove, with a few alterations. A Scottish 'old wives tale' gave the inspiration for one of the main plot lines.

The Viking's Apprentice was released in March 2013 and book two The Master's Revenge was released September 2013. Both books have achieved number 1 best seller in their genre on Amazon UK and USA.

The Viking's Apprentice has also been used as the reading book in schools in Scotland. Kevin regularly visits schools to talk to the children about reading, writing and of course a little about Vikings.

Kevin is always interested in visiting schools. If you're a teacher looking to book an author visit please get in touch.

Book 3 in the series: Journey to the Other Side was released on 19th of July 2014.
