MEET INDIE AUTHOR SHAYNAJAY

ShaynaJay was born in Washington, D.C. and has lived in the surrounding area her entire life. When not writing, she can be found at home being an introvert, obsessing over her three children, and manifesting a beautiful, healthy life. 


Her love for reading and writing began early on as a child.  Pulled away from her passion to focus on the family she created at a young age, she has finally pushed through to her purpose with the debut of her first self published novel, Bequeathed.

BEQUEATHED: A FAMILY'S TALE FEATURING ELLE

Every family passes something on. What did you inherit?


After a series of unfortunate family tragedies, three young siblings find themselves in a new home, being raised by their wealthy maternal grandparents. All three have different experiences growing up in the household that eventually shape the way they live their lives as adults.


When their grandparents die, the estranged trio is forced to come together for the transition of the estate. The revelation of their family’s history, explanation of misfortune, and discovery about the true nature of their inheritance send the three on a jarring trip to hell and back.


Most of the secrets, lies, and sinister acts within a family stay hidden and locked away, but the consequences and repercussions of this family’s sordid past is unleashed onto Timothy, Kimberly, and Anthony. This is their family’s tale of eerie parallels, with a sprinkle of America’s cruel racial history and a supernatural entity, desperate to capitalize on it all.
