As of my knowledge cutoff date in March 2023, Vanessa Lei is not a widely recognized author with a significant public profile. It's possible that she could be an emerging writer, a self-published author, or someone who writes online under that name, but without additional context or details, I cannot provide a definitive description of her. It's also possible that there could be multiple individuals with that name who write in different capacities. Without specific information about her works, genre, or achievements in literature, I would not be able to give an accurate short description of Vanessa Lei as an author. If Vanessa Lei is a pseudonym or if she has gained recognition after my knowledge cutoff date, you may wish to seek out the most current sources or provide additional information to narrow down the search.
