Author Bio
Motivational speaker, adventurer, former police officer and Special Forces Reservist, Jamie Hull was thirty-two when his life changed forever. Jamie was training to be a pilot in the US when his plane engine caught fire on a solo flight. Blow-torched by the flames, he suffered 63% 3rd and 4th degree burns, and was given a 5% chance of survival. He has undergone more than 60 operations under general anaesthetic, and has since fought to rebuild his life with extraordinary determination and courage. He is now a Help for Heroes ambassador, working with ex-servicemen and women in their recovery. This is his first book. He lives in London.
