Writers Scheduled to Read:

Leanna Renee Hieber is a professional actress (Member AEA, SAG, AFTRA) and award-winning playwright but her greatest loves are fantasy fiction, the 19th century and a spooky story. Graduating with BFA in Theatre and a minor in the Victorian Era, she adapted works of Victorian literature for the stage for Miami University and the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival. The dramatic, historic, spiritual and paranormal are the primary forces in her lyrical, eerie, atmospheric fiction. DARK NEST, a futuristic fantasy novella, debuted to critical acclaim and remains the Bestseller at Crescent Moon Press. THE STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL TALE OF MISS PERCY PARKER, the first in her Gothic Victorian fantasy series from Dorchester Publishing releases 9-9-09. She's the proud co-founder of NYC’s first reading series devoted to romance/women's fiction; Lady Jane’s Salon, which benefits the Share The Love charity for women in need.
