First and
foremost, it is a pleasure to have you here.
Welcome to Harper’s Sunday Brunch Interview!

So, can you tell us what makes Leanna Harrow tick? What got you started on the path to becoming an author?
I’d
always wanted to write and when my youngest child…I have 4, turned 18, I
decided it was time for me.
What are you
currently working on? Would you care to
share a snippet?
I’m
working on Why Not to Anger an Erotic
Novelist lol. The snippet is:
“Do you have the
Roofies?” Lynn asked Debbie.
“Yep.” Debbie
replied.
“Do you have the
Viagra?” She asked Mary.
“Yes darlin, Bob
will never miss them.” Mary replied with a wistful look on her still young
looking face.
“You know what
you’re supposed to do right?” Lynn asked Debbie who was the youngest of the
group.
“Yes.” She
replied meekly.
“Good, that
bastard’s so got this coming.” Lynn said with a slightly wicked smile crossing
her face.
“Mary, you’re
set to get him up to the room at eight right?” Lynn asked the beautiful red
head.
“All set.” Mary
said with her own wicked smile firmly planted on her cherry red painted lips.
“Good,” Lynn
continued, her smile fading. “If any of you have any doubts, now is the time to
speak up. Once we start this, there’s no turning back.” She said, warning them
for the twentieth time.
“I’m good.” Mary
said.
“You’re sure he
won’t know it was us?” Debbie asked; worry clearly showing on her pretty yet
obviously pained face.
“He won’t
remember a thing.” Lynn assured her.
“Then, I’m in
too” she said almost hesitantly. Each of the women, one at a time, outstretched
their hand into the center of the circle they were standing in making a pile of
hands to show their unity.
It was done.
There was no going back now. The wheels had been set in motion and Rich Simpson
was getting ready to get back all of the humiliation, degradation and
disrespect he’d been dishing out for years, in spades. He just didn't know it
yet. Even though he wouldn't remember
it, the girls would. They’d even have a video as a souvenir.
Do you include
some of your own personal experiences in your books or do you prefer to use
your imagination?
I
prefer my imagination for the sexier parts...It’s much better than a lot of my
real life experiences ;)
Why Erotica? What made you choose this genre over others?
An
incident online with a “catfish” made me choose the erotic genre. I decided to find
out what it was that men find so alluring about online sex…without actually
doing it ;) Then, I used my life’s story as the back story and had at it!
Do you have a
specific process or a ritual you go through when sitting down to write?
Nope,
I’m a totally off the cuff kind of girl.
Where do you
find your inspiration for your plots? Do
you have any tricks of the trade you would care to share?
They
just come to me like a movie. It’s all very surreal. My head is always working.
I can’t stop it sometimes. lol
What is the
oddest place/situation where an idea for a book/plot has come to you?
I
was in the grocery store with a grocery list…I just started writing on the back
of the list!
What makes a book stand out and perk your interest?
I have to be
able to see myself in a character. If I can’t,
I can’t read it.
We all have our
favorite authors. Can you share some of
yours and tell us why you like them?
I
am a Stephen King fanatic, I always have been, and I think it’s because he goes
nearly insane at one point of the book, and I’m always waiting for it. I’m kind
of like that in real life, but I keep it pretty well hidden. lol
We all have a pet
peeve, care to share yours?
DISHES
left in the sink OVERNIGHT and my kids know it…yet they do it regardless…I
think at their ages, they still do it just to mess with me. lol
When you’re not
writing, what are the things you enjoy doing to relax?
I
LOVE to shoot pool. I have loved it since I was very young and got to hang out
with a couple of the industry’s greats…Willie Mosconi and Minnesota
Fats…Man…those guys were awesome!
Thank you so
much for joining me here today, Leanna.
I know my followers will enjoy this spotlight as much as I have
conducting it. Good luck on all your
future endeavors.
Thank
you for having me, it’s been a pleasure!
A BIT OF BACKGROUND ON LEANNA
Leanna Harrow grew up on the Central Coast of California where the beaches were pristine and the sunsets were spectacular. She attended the school of hard knocks as traditional schools had too many rules and regulations. She raised four children who turned out happy, healthy, productive members of society. Each of her children grew up to possess her independent spirit and headstrong ways but are all awesome people.
For
all of her love, time, and devotion, Leanna’s children have repaid her with the
ultimate gift of grandchildren. They are her favorite past time and at present,
she has four of them. Leanna’s sure that the future holds more of them.
Her
hobbies include cooking huge meals for her extended family, a good game of billiards
every now and then, reading a good book—as well as writing one, writing poems
that pop into her head at the most inopportune times, listening to music as
many hours a day as possible, and people watching, especially men!
Leanna
lives in North Carolina and is very single.
