Boldly Going Nowhere

by Steven McKinnon

Overview

The dating game was going well... until she found out he was a virgin.

Steven McKinnon is in a rut. He's tired of being a burden to his friends. He feels like life is passing him by. Nothing is going his way. When a friend convinces him to try speed dating, things start to look up... initially. As soon as Bachelorette Number One discovers that he's a virgin, she unceremoniously dumps him. What follows is a quest across Europe in search of happiness, companionship, and an answer to the age-old question: Why is sex such a big deal?

But much like other aspects of Steven's life, things don't go as planned. Soon, he discovers the dark side of putting himself out there. Brash-talking strippers, treacherous friendships and an unexpected encounter with the police leave him wondering if his old, boring, solo life was really so bad after all.

Told with painful honesty, raw emotion, dark humor and wit, Boldly Going Nowhere is the true story of what happens when one man takes a stand against his own insecurities and societal pressures -- and somehow manages to find himself in the process.

About the Author

Steven McKinnon is an independent writer living, eating and just about breathing in Glasgow. He is the author of Boldly Going Nowhere, in which he tells the story of how he broke free from the suffocating rut he was in. When not writing deeply personal stories about his private life and showing them to the world, Steven will either be eating cake, listening to Iron Maiden, or filling his brain with pointless Buffy and Battlestar Galactica trivia. Steven completed two courses of Creative Writing at the University of Glasgow in 2010, and completed an HNC in Professional Writing Skills at Reid Kerr College in 2006. He is 29, and was born in the bathroom of a high-rise flat in Glasgow on the 18th of March 1986. He has since moved out.

Editorial Reviews

Boldly Going Nowhere isn't telling a new story; it's telling a story we've all heard before - about someone going through a rough time and coming out the other end. But when it's written with as much warmth and charm as this was, it's an infinitely readable story. Not a tale about a wacky misfit looking for love or a gloom-filled account of mental health problems; but a sincere message to use the support network available to you when you're having problems. I sincerely urge you to check it out.

The Speculative Bookshop - Mick Clocherty

A warm and endearing voice, Steven had me invested in his success and devastated at his setbacks. It doesn't read as a diatribe on how the world's unfair; he's understanding of others, caring, and most importantly, sincere. The story is littered with hilarious anecdotes. These avoid the doom and gloom of anxiety and make Steven's journey so relatable you'll feel he's an old friend. He's very honest and I feel more of this courage could only be beneficial to the stigma attached to these feelings
