| Introduction | This is the story of my life from aged 0 to aged 33, or 1965-1999 if you'd prefer.From chirpy child to gonk-haired speedfreak and alcoholic and then back to some kind of normality. It took me nigh on two years and 160,000 words to write and sent me a bit mental at least twice. I do hope you enjoy it. Bests, Ettrick Scott/The Claw of TRUTH. |
