Iain K. MacLeod
He/Him | Born to be mild. Great-great-great grandnephew of Angus “Giant” MacAskill. Worked skateboard check at 1994 Gobblefest.
Hi, my name is Iain K. MacLeod, and I'm a heterosexual CIS white male on the Internet.
🚽 Fun Fact! Iain (with two "i"s) is a name of Scottish Gaelic origin, while Ian is the Anglicization; both spellings correspond to the English name John. A toilet? No relation.
I was born in Sydney, Cape Breton and now live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada with my family. I've also spent some time living in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Over the years, I've attended schools such as Chebucto Heights, Mary Lawson, Admiral Westphal, Sheriff, Sydney Academy, U.P.E.I, and U.C.C.B. I've worked briefly in retail (grocery and drug stores) as well as with Celtic Colours, Coast Publishing, the Atlantic Film Festival, Spectacle Group, and the Government of Nova Scotia. I write for fun and enjoy helping people with their inevitable technical problems because I consider it an essential way to provide emotional support.
For the most part, you can find out more about me on the following websites:
