Leigh Redhead

Profile Information:

Hometown:
I have no fixed address at the moment, split my time between Sydney and Melbourne
About Me:
My surname is real, seriously, I have the birth certificate to prove it, but the hair colour aint! I've written three crime novels starring stripper/PI Simone Kirsch. Peepshow (2004) Rubdown (2005) and Cherry Pie (2007) and I've worked on a prawn trawler, as a stripper, masseuse, waitress, check-out chick and apprentice chef. My life story is a long and convoluted one and available on my website.

Oh god, so many! Let's see...Peter Corris, Peter Temple, Katherine Howell, Marele Day, Shane Maloney, Gabrielle Lord, Robert Crais, Michael Robotham, Val McDermid, Vicky Hendricks (especially Miami Purity), Sue Grafton and tonnes more that escape me right now. The book I wish I'd written is Susanna Moore's In the Cut.

    Hiya Leigh
    Nice to hear from ya! Yes indeed, both A&U babies now.... been a long time coming but worth it. Are you going to Byron Bay? If so, I'll catch you there! If not, you're on for St Kilda... it rocks, even in winter!
    Take care and catch you in June.

    Hi Leigh. I just want to say i felt like i have lived parallel to Simone Kirsch. i feel like i have been and worked in all the places that she has, and haunted all the places she has haunted. i love your books, and i am constantly looking in borders to see when the next one is coming out. it has been a long time since i have found a book interesting, so thankyou for renewing my interest in reading. i have worked all up and down king street in Melbourne. Did you ever work at Diamonds which is now Spearmint Rhino?

    Hi Leigh, I've just had a look at your novels and I'm going to head to Amazon and order them. PI's and strippers. Two of my favourite things in a book!
    Best of luck in Vietnam,
    Simon
