Graduating with a university degree in B.A./B.Sc (Psychology, Sociology and English), Reena has also worked in the Subtitling Post-Production Division of the Film and Media Entertainment industry for over 10 years before she decided it was time to (stop putting her dreams on hold and) pursue one of her heart dreams—becoming an Author. Along the journey to get there, she learned how choosing something that made her come alive, reconnected her faith in God but also cost her everything that she used to be, everything she had and even the people she once thought she could count on. But even on her worst days, she knew how accepting any kind of situation was worth it because she now knew the value of her stories, why her voices were necessary and how they became lanterns of light for herself and others the moment she started to claim the joy of her gifts. She learned to wear many hats, harnessed every skill, talent and storm that came her way and gained so much more than she ever expected for herself—professionally, personally and publically.

 

@InkGladiatorsPress, Reena Doss helps authors publish even as she works on releasing more of her books. She also publishes theme-based anthologies under the names—Our Earthians Community Group (for creatives all over the world) and Translations Of Hope (for mental health awareness). Her journey taught her how to find many new as well as lost voices she'd thought she had forgotten. Each are a reflection of her hopeful personality, love story of scars becoming stars and her unwavering faith in Christ.

A fierce warrior of Light, spreading Hope to others from the flowers in her moon heart, Leonie Belle Hawk is the name Reena uses because art, storytelling and creativity have saved her more times than she can count. The Weaver gifted them to her when she needed to battle the dark at a young age. The name is a combination of three names, each with their own special importance. Léonie means "God is my Light” but its literal meaning is “lioness”. It is also the name of one of her favorite heroines in These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer. Belle represents her favorite fairytale character as she is a bit of an oddity, loves with all her heart and is also quite mad about libraries. Moreover, the name pays tribute to her French roots and literally means “beautiful” as art will always be. The Hawk is one of her favorite birds because it protects its freedom to just be who it wants to be. It is also reminiscent of the first romantic movie that captured her imagination, Ladyhawke. 

 

@LeonieBelleHawk (for art) and @ThePickletonUniverse (for kid lit), she has began the journey of showcasing her artistic talents. @HisWild (for letters), she shares her passion for languages, love letters and inventing nicknames for the love of her life. @ReenaDossWriter, she creates a map of pieces for those who follow her work to understand her deeply, but it is only to one that she gives the masterkey to unravel her stories from dark to shadow to light and she dispays this very vocally on her Instagram page @ReenaDossAuthor.
