September 7th will be Strangely Beautiful

  • Posted on August 18, 2009 at 2:51 pm

Greetings, dear readers and Lady Jane’s Salon devotees.

Your co-founder Leanna Renee Hieber here, and I am so very thrilled to tell you about September 7th. I’ll be hosting a very special event, a launch party for my debut novel, The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker, a ghostly, Gothic Victorian Fantasy novel, first in the Strangely Beautiful series with Dorchester Publishing.

You will find charming atmosphere, a mysterious Strangely Beautiful drink special at the incredible Madame X price of $5.00, there will be a raffle for a special prize, and your hostess will be in full 1880’s garb in honour of her book’s setting.

You’ll also have the opportunity not only to hear two selections from The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker but fellow award winning author Isabo Kelly, one of my dearest friends and inspirations in this business, will be reading a selection from her work as well. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

This is a very special night for me, as this is a very special book. I hope you’ll join me, Isabo Kelly, the Lady Jane’s co-founders, a host of my friends coming from far and wide and the lovely and wonderful people at Dorchester Publishing for an evening of strangely beautiful delights.

For more information about The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker, please visit www.leannareneehieber.com. All the usual Lady Jane’s Salon particulars are in effect, see you at Madame X on September 7th at 7pm!

Blessings!

Leanna Renee Hieber

Last Night At The Salon…

  • Posted on July 7, 2009 at 12:21 pm

Elizabeth K.  Mahonscandalous blogger and salon regular–has so graciously provided a report of last night’s fun at Lady Jane’s.

Last night, I moseyed on down to Madame X for the July edition of Lady Jane’s Salon.  This reading series has quickly become a must-not miss event here in New York.  It’s hard to believe that no one came up with the idea of hosting a romance reading series in New York until this year! What were we thinking? No matter, thanks to founders Hope Tarr, Ron Hogan, Leanna Renee Hieber and Maya Rodale, Lady Jane’s is here to stay. The wonderful thing about the Lady Jane’s Salon reading series is not only is it a great way to catch up with friends, and also networking, but it also gives the readers a chance to give back by donating gently used books to Share the Love.

Ron Hogan was a delightful comprere for the evening’s festivities. This month’s event was very special because Susie Felber, the daughter of the author Edith Layton who passed away recently, gave a wonderfully funny and touching speech about her mother.  I didn’t think it was possible to laugh and cry at the same time! I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a run on Edith Layton on Amazon.com today after hearing Susie’s memorial to her mother last night.

The next reader was RWA NYC‘s own Dee Davis (who was our author of the year at last year’s Golden Apple Awards).  Dee read from her book A Match Made on Madison.  If you watch Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo, or are a big fan of Sex and the City, you will love this book.  After a brief pause so that we could refresh our drinks (I’m a big fan of the Indecent Proposal), we had two authors whose work I was unfamilliar with, but I can’t wait to read their books, Anthea Lawson and Diana Love.

Again, another fantabulous evening at Lady Jane’s.  If you are in New York the first Monday of the month, you cannot miss this event.

Visit Elizabeth at www.scandalouswoman.blogspot.com or at the next Salon on Monday, August 3rd.
