Eric Pullin
Eric Pullin was born in Wolverhampton, England in 1946.
He attended the local Grammar School before starting his working life as a primary school teacher. Though he loved working with children, circumstances led to him leaving his teaching life and joining Goodyear Tyre Company with whom he worked for many years, mainly in sales and marketing. He joined Goodyear Racing Division which led to his love of Formula 1 motor racing and rallying. He was also a member of the European Goodyear Airship crew. He later set up a franchise to market Goodyear promotional products.
In the early 1980's he moved to Scotland and started his own Quiz Night company, writing and presenting quizzes for pubs, clubs and private functions.
Eric is twice married with a daughter Katy, a son Anthony, and two grand daughters, Lucy and Lulah. He has two stepsons, Paul and Matt by his second wife Penny, who has been the rock on which his later life has been built.
On the birth of his first grand daughter, Eric decided to write a children's bedtime story as a special gift. Though he had never written before, once he began writing, about his cat called Digweed, he found that he could not stop and instead of producing a short bedtime story, he ended up with a full length novel called "Digweed the Cat".
The book sat on a shelf for 7 years until Lucy was old enough to read the story for herself but now she loves her Grampy's gift.
The birth of his second grand daughter Lulah, two years later, started him writing again and this time he produced a short bedtime tale called "Why Animals Don't Talk". This story, written in verse, proved so popular, that Eric decided to write more "Why" stories and soon he had written "Why Owls are The Wisest Birds", "Why There Are Waves On The Sea", "Why Stars Come Out At Night", and many more stories and so "The Why Series" was born.
Eric decided to self publish and his books immediately became popular in the U.K. This success made it possible for him to work in schools helping children with their creative writing and once again, Eric found himself at the front of classrooms all over the U.K. The one time teacher had seen his life go full circle and he is thrilled to be working with children once again.
In 2012 an Italian author friend, Annarita Guarnieri, suggested that he submit his first book "Digweed the Cat" to her publishers - Inknbeans Press.
Now, the story that was written nearly 10 years ago is being professionally and lovingly handled and the grandfather who started to write stories just for his grand children has seen his whole life change.
Still just an ordinary family man at heart, Eric will continue to write his books and work with children in schools for as long a his health allows.
His family will tell you that he's just an "old softee". Eric wouldn't want things to be any other way.

More wonderful books by Eric Pullin are just around the corner, so come back soon.
On his way home from an audition, Paul encounters a car bent on a deadly race. Did he cheat death? Is he in a coma? Is he haunted? And where is that pub, The Chair, where he spent the night?
In his notes, the author says, “I think that The Chair is a good story. I hope that The Chair is nothing more than a good story.” You must judge for yourselves. One thing is certain - a simple plot is turned into a series of events that will challenge your mind and question your basic beliefs.
You will find yourself discussing this book with family and friends. You may find yourself agonizing over the questions that it poses. But, only when your final curtain falls will you know for sure if the Chair was just ‘a good story.’
