Leena Varghese

Leena Varghese writes for the sheer love of experiencing the myriad world of multi-dimensional characters and an alternate reality that words can create. A heart-warming tale that portrays the spectrum of human emotions with a healthy dose of idealism, humour, intrigue and passion is always an inspiration for her.

She was a closet writer for a long time, scribbling funny snippets from life and tales full of hope and happy endings. Finally, she decided to send a manuscript to Mills & Boon UK, who brought out her debut book, A Perfect Mismatch, under the Indian Author Collection. The second book, A Silver Dawn, was published by Harper Collins India under the Harlequin imprint.

Leena lives in Mumbai with her family and is a post-graduate in English Literature, with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Diploma in Fine Arts. Leena enjoys illustrating children’s books and loves to experiment with various media including oils, water colours and pastels.

Some of the books that she has illustrated are A Date with Daddy, A Date with Mommy and A Luna Moth, A Lightning Bug and Mr Kipling.
