Author Hugh Allison Sr.-
Born in Kingston, Jamaica W.I. and living in a time when boys would have to learn a skill to prepare them for manhood. Hugh did not always like the idea of being a writer. He told a story of when he was a boy and the life he lived when he left home and the trials that accompanied his life in some of the stories he writes about.
One of his most influential things was the fact that his dad told him ”you will be a writer” and him trying his best not to be involved with the writing as a rebellious child would do. When asked why, he just said, “I thought it was a skill meant for girls”. He saw his sister from time to time write in shorthand, something in the old days that secretaries had to know to have their jobs.
But all through those years he fought, he has found his self being lured back to writing, either through the writing of songs or poems. He is now a published writer.
