STEVEN PAUL LEIVA has toiled for many years in the hills and valleys of Hollywood as a producer and writer, working with the great and the not-so-great, who were often, oddly, one and the same. He produced the animation for "Space Jam," pairing the witty Bugs Bunny with the sweaty Michael Jordan. His play, "Made on the Moon," had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has been performed in America by such actors as Paul Provenza, Robert Picardo and John Billingley. His novelization, "The 12 Dogs of Christmas," based on his own film adaptation of the best-selling picture book of the same name, won the Scribe Award for the Best Young Adult Adapted Novel from the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers. His novel "Blood is Pretty," The first Fixxer Adventure, will soon be followed by "Hollywood is An All Volunteer Army," not surprisingly the second Fixxer Adventure. Steven also instigated and organized RAY BRADBURY WEEK IN LOS ANGELES in 2010 in celebration of the literary master's 90th birthday, and directed Bradbury's one-act play, "The Better Part of Wisdom," starring James Cromwell, as part of the celebrations. An historical record of RAY BRADBURY WEEK, with photos and videos, can be found at the RAY BRADBURY WEEK Facebook page. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Amanda, and his daughter, Miranda, who are known collectively as the Andas.
