Radiah Hubbert: Tell us about What Happened to Zaniyah?
Anna J: What Happened To Zaniyah is about what happens when you think you have it all figured out. Internet predators, life after death, and how we cope with the decisions we make in life.
RH: How difficult was it to write this storyline?
AJ: This was my most difficult story to date. Like in a scale of 1-10, Zaniyah is 1,000. The reality of the story made it hard to tell, but somebody had to do it.
RH: What would you want the readers to gain from this story?
AJ: My hope is that it sparks conversations between or teens/tweens and parents. The take away… be careful in these streets.
RH: Can you give us a sneak peak into the next installment of this series?
AJ: Next up is Copy Cat. We are diving back into the Dylan Hunt case and what happened after his disappearance.
RH: You did include triggers warnings for this book. Do you think trigger warnings are necessary for authors to include in their books?
AJ: I’m from the old school. We didn’t do trigger warnings. You either put the book down if you didn’t like it, or you struggled through it.
For the sake of playing nicely, I gave the warning. Do with that what you will.
RH: As an industry veteran, what advice would you give to new authors?
AJ: Dang, have I reached vet status? As a seasoned author I’d tell new authors that this is not easy. Sometimes you have to put the pen down. Take the time you need, and then pick it back up. Write as many stories as you can in this life time, and God willing you can pick it up in the next.
RH: Please share some of your upcoming projects.
AJ: Well… I won’t share any titles right now, but let’s just say Copy Cat is still on the table, and there are some other projects that will be sprinkle in as well go.
RH: Where can readers connect with you?
AJ: On all social media outlets I can be found under Author Anna J or Anna J Author
