Theatrical Techniques for Blockbuster Storytelling - Fiction Writing Advice from an Actress & Playwright

Writerly folk!

As some of you may or may not know, I began my professional career as an actress and playwright. Many techniques utilized in theatre have been very useful to me as a novelist. I've shared some of the highlights of my "Direct Your Book: Theatre Techniques for a Compelling Novel" workshop over at the Science Fiction / Fantasy Writers of America blog. Check it out! If you've any comments or questions, you're welcome to leave them here or at the SFWA blog, I'll be checking in! Cheers and Break a Leg! - Leanna

In Which Leanna Sings Opera

Dear Readers,

While you may or may not know I am a trained performer on stage and screen, some of you also may or may not know that I'm a singer. In between my book releases, I thought I'd do a little sharing of things I do that aren't related to my books, but still related to storytelling and performance.

Presenting Part 1 of my husband's operetta he composed; WHEN I THINK OF HOME, with text by his mother Carolyn Wille-Rivera. Carolyn wrote this text while living in Puerto Rico dreaming of her childhood up north. Presented and also performed by the talented Orfeo Duo on violin and piano, presented as a part of Upper Manhattan's "Oh What A Neighborhood" concert series.

I'm the one singing. ;)

Blessings and enjoy!
