In the Story

In A Slightly Less Ordinary Life, author Colin Curtis In A Slightly Less Ordinary Life, Colin Curtis provides an earthy portrayal of growing up around industrial mills in Scotland, joining the military at 17 and thereafter safe-guarding British interests at home and abroad.  A rough and tumble Scottish kid, the youngest of five brothers, he credits the folksy nature of his home-to-army existence to the coarseness of life among men tempered by closeness to a gentle mother who endowed him with the sensitivity to dive into life’s special moments. Shared here, the author utilizes all the bodily senses to relate the people and events of his extraordinary personal entanglements with family, royalty, terrorists, friends, and lovers.

The evolution from boys to men for Curtis and comrades involved nearly six months of disciplinary training in the army before their assignments began in earnest – many suited to the uniforms of bearskin helmets, red dress tunic, navy-blue trousers, dress white belts, bayonet scabbard and gloves. Encounters with Royals at Windsor Castle signaled that this was no longer a dream but a new beginning.

In short order, the versatile graduated from guards to warriors and moved on to learn the art of house and sniper clearing in urban settings in advance of reassignment to active war zones. As the tempo of violence increased, so did the impacts of stress and the searches for reassignment. Fast-forward to the jungles of bottomed-out Central America, and risky engagement with locals on the wrong side of town. The careful taming of this hornet’s nest in paradise is left to those like Curtis, gifted with the knack of fitting in even when 6,000 miles from home.
