I might not be the right author for this piece. I just want to admit that upfront.
Yes, my work is considered controversial in some quarters. I mean, my next book is called
The Bad Muslim Discount. Obviously, that was always going to raise some eyebrows.
But I truly don’t set out to be controversial. My fictional worlds are based on the truths I know and have experienced. My goal has always been to tell these truths in the most entertaining way possible. That’s it. It just so happens that there are people holding a wide variety of beliefs on the ideological spectrum who find these truths uncomfortable. That, so far as I am concerned, is more of a ‘them’ problem than a ‘me’ problem.

Hannah s newest novel, The Four Winds, vividly and poignantly details the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. February s featured debut Cherie Jones How The One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House is what Vanessa Cronin describes as a can t-look-away winner due to its lively and beautiful critique on the patriarchy, class, and race.
