Eleanor Parks
Biography
I am the youngest of four children and was born in Leigh, a small town in Lancashire, England. I have been writing all my life, from poetry and short stories (one of which was published in my primary school's magazine), and finally culminating in my book "Killing For Capone".
I am a real cat lover, and when I am not writing I love to spend my time relaxing at home with my 13 feline friends, all of whom have been rescued from the street.
My other loves include MotoGP (Valentino Rossi is my hero), Formula 1, good food, good wine, reading (some of my favourite authors are Oscar Wilde, Truman Capote, Stephen Fry and Christopher Isherwood), and, saving the best for last, my wonderful husband!
I left the UK 13 years ago and now live in a small village not far from Antwerp, Belgium.
