Leanne Schwartz

Leanne Schwartz is an autistic author, teacher, and bookworm. She has spent about her life at either the library or the local theater, where she has played Lady Macbeth, Lady Capulet, Clytemnestra, and Hera―perhaps one reason she writes such vengeful, murderous girls. When she’s not teaching English and poetry, she can be found baking pizzelle, directing scenes for the student Shakespeare festival, and singing along to showtunes. She lives in California with her family, and is the author of the young adult fantasies A Prayer for Vengeance and To a Darker Shore.
