edit data

Leighton Dean is a Welsh author from South Wales who writes political cyberpunk thrillers and dark speculative fiction that refuse to look away from the uncomfortable questions.

His Gods & Vagrants series (No Witness, Passing Bell & Rhiannon's Watch) follows characters navigating faith, power, and survival in a world where the divine is very real—and very dangerous. His cyberpunk thriller GunBoy explores corporate violence and resistance in a near-future dystopia, with more stories in that world currently in development.
