She
fell in love with reading as a high school freshman and continues to read,
write, and draw today. Her background in social work helps her portray
realistic characters in otherworldly—and sometimes terrifying—situations. A New
York native, Azaaa currently lives in New Hampshire (USA) with her husband and
daughters.
She
debuted with This Time (book one in the Nadira Holden, Demon Hunter series) in
2018. A novel about demon hunters, family ties and the magic of love.
Azaaa
is working diligently to finish writing more fantasy novels while raising her
daughters. Thank you for showing an interest in her stories!
What genre do you write?
I write urban fantasy novels and paranormal
romance novels using contemporary settings in the US.
Does your reading choices reflect your writing
choices?
Yes. I only write stories I want to read. I write
the untold stories about women of color in new paranormal worlds. I'm writing
what I know, what I like to read and what I want to see more of in the world.
I prefer reading fiction: fantasy and romance. They
can be very accessible as well as thought-provoking. These genres
dominate for those seeking escapism from daily life.
Which type of characters are your favorite to
write?
I enjoy writing bad girl characters. I like writing
about female villains that enjoy following their own rules. I also enjoy
writing loveable yet flawed heroes and antiheroes with a lot of baggage to
unpack.
If you could offer
once piece of advice to a novice writer, what would it be?
There's so much writing advice flowing around out
there that it becomes hard to figure out what tips and techniques will work for
you as a writer.
"Write everyday." While I do not write
fiction everyday, I "wear my writing hat daily." I'm writing my story
and increasing my word count, editing a story with feedback from a test reader
or my editor, or I'm reading for fun to refill my creative well. When I
don't wear my writing hat for days or weeks it can become a long, doubt-filled
process to feel comfortable and confident about my writing skills again.
Do your characters come before or after your plot?
My characters come first. Often imagine a
fascinating person, and then I wonder how they would handle being in this or
that paranormal situation. So far my protagonists have been humans with
special abilities. I plan to write about supernatural creatures as my
protagonists in future stories like witches, vampires and
wolf shifters.
When I created my debut novel, I thought about a
female of color as a vampire slayer and my story developed from there into
Nadira Holden Demon Hunter.
What are you working
on now?
I have a few writing projects in progress. I am
wrapping up a holiday-themed fantasy short story. I hope to give this exciting
new story away for free as a thank you to my fans. I'm also working on part II
of a paranormal duology titled Never Marry A Shifter. Jilted, part I, releases
this month on 10/20/2020 as part of the Soul's Day Boxset.

THIS TIME
Nadira Holden, Demon Hunter (book one)
Resurrected into present-day New York, Nadira Holden is asked to save the world ... again. She achieved legendary status when she gave her life to protect humans from demons. To her, it was yesterday. To the rest of the world, it was twenty years ago. Understandably, Nadira is adrift.
People have made peace with demons,
worshipping them like celebrities. No one wants to believe that the beautiful
creatures who brought magic to mankind could be causing the disappearance of so
many people. Nadira wonders if this unfamiliar world is worth saving. Then her
father goes missing, and she refuses to play nice. Gloves off. She has to do
what she does best. Fight.
Nadira Holden, Demon Hunter is a new
adult urban fantasy series from fantasy author Azaaa Davis that combines
monster-slaying action, family drama, and simmering romance. If you like

Nadira Holden, Demon Hunter (book two)
All Nadira Holden wants is to preserve the last of her soul and create a new life free of magic, demons, and war. Her involuntary bond with a succubus makes her desires impossible. The threat of this disgruntled demon possessing her urges Nadira to find the succubus's missing body.
Nadira's only hope of avoiding demonic
possession lies with Derek, the only demon she can tolerate without slaying.
Except, his hands are full trying to secure his recently-inherited title of
prince. Desperate, Nadira agrees to help Derek secure his title by
experimenting with the deadly magic they once generated in exchange for his aid
in her investigation.
To untangle herself from the evil that
surrounds her, Nadira must be willing to betray her friends and get cozy with
her enemies. She may even have to do the unthinkable: break the peace treaty
that allows demons and humans to coexist. If she can't toss aside her scruples,
Nadira may not make it out of this ordeal with her soul intact. That Night
is book two in the Nadira Holden, Demon Hunter series. If you like
monster-slaying action and simmering romance then buy That Night
