Noel Scanlon is an Irish writer living in the wonderfully scenic West of Ireland.
Though he always wanted to write he started off with a career in international banking in the Middle East and India over a period of twenty years.
After graduating from MECAS, the British Foreign office Arabic language and culture institute in Shemlan, Lebanon, he lived in Dubai, Sharjah, Bahrain, Aden, Mukalla in the Hadhramut, the Oman and other parts of the Gulf where through his work he became acquainted with a number of the Gulf Sheikhs, in particular Sultan Qaboos of Muscat and Oman.
Though he was mostly in the Middle East he also lived in India in Bombay, Calcutta, and Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
Because he didn't find banking fulfilling on account of always having had a compulsion to write, he gave up banking and went to live in a cottage in Achill, in the west of Ireland.
After many years in Achill Island in the West of Ireland, he now lives in Newport, County Mayo.
All of these places provided him with the settings for his novels.
