Leenna Naidoo

Biography

When not ghostwriting or tarot reading, she writes cross-genre and genre suspense, adventure, and romance. She also dabbles in sci-fi/fantasy and historical fiction. Her short stories have appeared in The Mad Scientist Journal, SciPhi Journal and Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores. Leena’s self-published novels include Situation No Win.

Leenna’s most unnerving experiences include: looking a red kangaroo in the eye, interviewing Alan Dean Foster (even though it was via email), and teaching a hellhound how to share a biscuit. She blogs on www.leennanaidoo.wordpress.com, and www.leennascreativebox.com

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
It would have been one of my creative writing efforts from primary school. I might have been ten or eleven... I think it might have been about a carriage horse in Sherlock's London. I was seriously in Sherlock Holmes back then; can't say I am anymore :-D
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
There were two. I got both starter books one Christmas back when I was seven or so. There was Pano The Train (I still love trains) and Crispin Christian (which was very hard for me to read. It was about a brown bear in a straw hat who went fishing. I loved both books for different reasons: Pano because it was fun to read about the brave train, and Crispin because it meant I was a Real Reader--that I could break up words and read anything!
