When her husband suggested that she write her own book instead of spending all her spare time reading other peoples books, she brushed the notion to one side and filed it under ‘ridiculous idea’. However, with the seed firmly planted in her mind she pondered for days over whether she could actually write a book of her own.
     In the following weeks, with a hectic home life (two sons, a husband, two dogs and a cat!), a busy and demanding full time job in a high street bank, her own horse and smallholding with more dogs, another cat and a few chickens thrown in for good luck, an idea began to form in her mind.
     A few months later, after spending countless hours whilst travelling to and from her full time job, between cooking meals for the family and running a busy household and during her down time at her smallholding tending to her horses, she came up with an idea for a story.
     With nothing to lose and the support of her husband she began to write, something that she had never done before. Six months later, Christmas 2013 her first book was finished. The first part of the Silk Trilogy had been written. Unsure of where this new found talent and passion for writing had come from she decided to create a pseudonym in memory of her grandmother, who played a huge part in her upbringing and to recognise the inspiration and support of her husband, her childhood sweetheart of thirty years.
     Eleanor David was created and in January 2014 the Silk Trilogy was completed. 

     Three years on and a lot has happened in Eleanor’s life and her knowledge and experience as an author is ever growing. Although her latest novel Second Chances was completed early in 2016 the loss of her father in September delayed publication. Losing her father impacted her more than she could have imagined. However, determined to continue with her love of writing she is currently working on her next novel.
