Early Life

Lenny Tomallo Crnkovic (born Tihomir Crnkovic) was born in Bjelovar, Croatia. Currently Lenny resides in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Born as an only child he grew up raised by a single Mother as his Father passed away two months before he was born in a car accident. Since elementary school Lenny showed great interests in music, theater and writing. During the High School days he pursued his greatest dream, theater and acting. Just before he started High School he joined small amateur theater group. He stayed and preformed in Theater for a period of two years.   Combing theater and other passions such as singing, he manages to be excellent student. Dreaming about fallowing acting on Drama Academy his life took a huge turn. After failing the audition on Art Academy he decided to leave Croatia; as in his opinion Croatia was too small and too conservative for his taste and moving to the West was something he always had on his mind.

Leaving Home

 Lenny first adventure from Croatia took him to Vienna, Austria where he tried to make living selling from door to door paintings of young art students. After six months he decided to move more to the West and in October 1999 he moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The Netherlands

  Due to the inability of Lenny finding employment in the Netherlands he decided to get married to S. I. Gomes. As Mr. Gomes passed away due to a fatal car accident in 2002, Lenny became very depressed and under estimated his ability to survive in the real World. To overcome the delusion of being alone, Lenny began to write, even more than before, as this helped to suppress the time and hurtfulness he felt. As long days passed, Lenny acknowledges that a new life was born within him and this gave him the ability to find a home in Amsterdam.

 Although has a good life in the eyes of the common Joe, Lenny finds it difficult to stay out of trouble. The only trouble he really faces is that he hates to be alone. From one relationship to another, from one disaster to another, Lenny always managed to continue through his life journey.

Second Marriage

 In 2005 he got married for a second time. Although it seemed as a solid relationship, unfortunately it did not last forever. It was always something he wanted to do, to marry an American. Was it reasonable decision to do such a thing? Lenny was never reasonable person. Due the fact that they were complete strangers in early 2009 they split up but remained good friends. In February 2010 tragic things happened. Lenny’s partner got stabbed and died at age of 26. Currently Lenny’s still in shock. Only 30 years old and two dead husbands behind, who wouldn’t be…

Present

 It has been 15 years since Lenny lives in Amsterdam. After 7 years working at Cadastre, one year for The Walt Disney Company, Lenny's last worked as an Accountant for a privet International Pharmaceutical company. Due to tragic begining of 2010 he decided to stop working and concentrate on his writing and traveling. Lenny still writes a lot as he felts in love very easily; to easy some may say, thinking that’s the only thing that can mess him up. Lenny is huge Madonna fan and 2008/2009 Lenny dedicated to visiti her successful “Sticky & Sweet “ tour as much as he can, traveling thru Europe having good time; and course searching for new inspirations for his  poetry!  At the moment Lenny is not involved in any kind of relationship.

 Funny Fact  

 Due to his outrages dressing styles, outspoken personality, numerous hair experiments, huge shoe collection (over 600 pairs), hats… Lenny’s nick names changed from “The Princess” in early 90's to “The Diva” today!

 Poetry & Publications

After numerous requests Lenny sets his own website and tries publishing his poetry thru publishing agencies promoting it every single day thru various websites, flyers, business cards and huge online networks ( Facebook, Twitter, Tagged, Poetry.com, etc.). In 2009 he got a good deal to sell his first book on Amazon.com
