Ross Leondiou
Hi, I'm [Ross Leondiou] — a storyteller with one foot in the past and the other firmly planted in a fish shop. I write about the grit, humour, and heart of growing up in Australia, where steel factories and deep fryers were as much a part of life as family and friendship.

Wog in a Fish Shop – a true-to-life, nostalgic, and often funny look at my childhood in a family-run fish and chip shop during the 1960s. Framed around some of the era’s biggest world events — from the Cuban Missile Crisis and the moon landing to the demise of the Ford motor car and the wild chaos of cracker night — it's a story for anyone who's balanced two cultures while history unfolded around them. One of the standout characters is Ross Leondiou, nickname Buy books on Amazon -
