Biography
After thirty years communicating with computers, Terence Woolley migrated to people and now devotes his energies to book writing.
Inspired by traditional storytellers and classical novelists, his purpose is to write stories that are absorbing, entertaining and thought provoking.
His first book, Ailein, is set in ancient Britain at a time when the world is torn apart by feuding kings. Ailein, the young hero of the tale, is determined to shield his sweetheart from the rampages that surround them but to do so must break free from the clutches of tyrannical warlords.
What Buys a King's Shilling is set during the Napoleonic wars. Joining the army at the age of seventeen, Joshua Kerry travels the world and after twenty years wishes to settle to a life in India. But before doing so, he must return to England. He arrives in Nottingham, the town of his birth, on the day that a framework knitters' rally turns into a riot. It is the start of the Luddite Rebellion. He has nephews amongst the rioters - his duty as a British Army sergeant is to uphold the law. Drawn ever more deeply into a spiralling conflict, he doubts he will ever return to his wife and child in India.
