I write Scottish historical fiction, non-fiction and family sagas. They are all works of imagination and research, with inspiration coming from my family and upbringing. I grew up in Glasgow and Clydebank, the youngest of four children. My mother always used to say I talked quickly because that was the only way I could ever get a word in edgeways! My father was a railwayman, who worked his way up from shunter to stationmaster. We lived in the station house, right next to the railway, and it was a great place for people-watching. We had a big garden and, like many railwaymen, my father was a keen gardener, growing lots of vegetables and some lovely old-fashioned flowers, like marguerites and red hot pokers. I thought it was quite normal for a house to shake - as the through trains rattled past - and even now prefer to be somewhere I can hear the sounds of trains. Both my parents were great storytellers, as were our uncles and aunts. It was great training for a writer. I studied German and Spanish and spent several years working as a Blue Badge Scottish Tourist Guide, showing mainly German and German-speaking visitors around Scotland and the North of Scotland. That was another great way to hone my own storytelling skills. I love hearing from my readers and you can connect with me via my website and newsletter or on Twitter at CraigMaggie and Facebook at MaggieCraigAuthor.
