Hugo WoolleyHugo Woolley was born in West Sussex. He is married to Pippa with two grown-up children. His mother was an eccentric picture restorer. His father a farmer and lawyer. As a dyslexic, he went to a myriad of schools, mainly because, in those days, dysleia had hardly been invented, let alone treated. It was known as 'word-blindness' and dyslectics were thought to be 'simple' and below intelligence. How wrong they were! Hugo is a caterer by training, ran various bars and restaurants in London before starting his own sandwich shops in the City of London in 1984 with his youngest brother, Oliver. In 1993 he opened designer sausage shops in Kent and Sussex, well before sausages became a fad. unfortunately, after just over a year of trading, he was badly injured in a car accident and was airlifted to hospital, where Hugo remained for eight months being glued back together. Whilst in hospital he started writing, mainly about his experience during 'my crippledom' - as he called it. In 2002, when Hugo was mainly recovered, he and Pippa moved to Cornwall to run a B&B. He wrote and self-published various cook books onsandwiches, and then a book of breakfasts and brunch. For the past four years, Hugo has been writing an historical fiction trilogy - the Charlotte's War trilogy. Read More Read Less
