  <about><![CDATA[Award winning author, actress and playwright, Leanna Renee Hieber grew up in rural Ohio where childhood memories were full of inventing elaborate ghost stories.  Graduating with a BFA in Theatre from Miami University, a focus in the Victorian Era and a scholarship to study in London helped set the course for her books. 

While performing in the regional theatre circuit, short plays such as Favorite Lady, were published, produced, won awards and continue to be produced around the country. She has adapted works of 19th century literature for the professional stage. She hit the fantasy fiction scene with her novella DARK NEST, winning the 2009 Prism Award for excellence in Futuristic, Fantasy and Paranormal Romance.  THE STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL TALE OF MISS PERCY PARKER is the first in her Strangely Beautiful series of Gothic Victorian Fantasy novels published by Dorchester Publishing. Leanna is represented by New York literary agent Nicholas Roman Lewis and is a member of the Romance Writers of America(RWA), the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America(SFWA), the Horror Writers Association (HWA) and the International Thriller Writers.  

She is proud to be a co-founder of Lady Jane's Salon Reading Series in New York along with authors Hope Tarr, Maya Rodale and Ron Hogan of Beatrice.com.  The Salon showcases talent in the many sub-genres of romance and women's fiction and partners with Share The Love; admission proceeds and donations of romance novels go to women in crisis, transition and need. Leanna is represented by New York literary agent Nicholas Roman Lewis and is a member of the Romance Writers of America(RWA), the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America(SFWA), and the Horror Writers Association (HWA).  

A member of Actors Equity Association (AEA), the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), Leanna works often in television.
