How did I get here? is a memoir of a young boy growing up in the 1960s/70s in North-East Scotland. That young boy grew up to be me, Gordon Craigie. I didn't set out to write a humorous book, but apparently it is which is a good thing. Inside you'll find deeply philosophical/ridiculous gems such as:
"It may turn out to be a story of our times, those of us who straddle the cusp of baby boomers and Generation X. Or, it may not"
"As I took my first faltering steps onto the surface it was clear that my Bambi-on-ice technique was never going to get me anywhere"
If you enjoy reading Volume 1: Rebel without a clue! then make sure to watch out for Volume 2 which will pick up where this one leaves off and prove conclusively that older doesn't necessarily mean wiser! And if you don't enjoy it what's wrong with you?
Gordon Craigie is an author, feature writer and columnist
