Autorenporträt
Leonard Archie Wilson was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1951, the youngest of four siblings born in Jamaica to his parents Leonard Nathaniel and Althea Ulrica. On Jaques Rd. in Kingston, the family home was destroyed during the deadly Hurricane Charlie, who visited the island in the Fall of 1951. The family relocated to England the following year, 1952. In the British school system, Leonard stood out in English composition in all the schools and all the grades, such was his love for storytelling. In the spring of 1967, the family, now comprising eight siblings, relocated to Jamaica: where the teenager apprenticed as a jeweler on the famed King St. in Kingston. After a four-year apprenticeship, Leonard attended West Indies College to round out his high school education. He sat the General Certificate of Education exam from Cambridge University, and of all his passes, he treasured most of his distinction in English. Leonard spent much of the time regaling his siblings with stories, made up and otherwise. The streets of Kingston were a feast to his eyes and ears, the sixties being a very turbulent time in Jamaica. After suffering serious illnesses, he settled in central Florida in his retirement decades, where he writes.
