My debut novel Please, Pretty Lights was released in July 2014 by Booktrope Editions. I am now working on a sequel to be released in 2015. After working for several years as a feature writer, I changed over to fiction writing in 2012. I love getting reader feedback, so please write and share your thoughts and ideas.

I live in Seattle and am fascinated with music, art and human nature. I love writing about quirky, irreverent characters.

Writing about provocative topics such as religion, sex, addiction and violence can be intimidating, but I still go there; I don't hold back. I also explore uplifting topics related to the mystical and metaphysical. I'm a big fan of Abraham Hicks, Alan Watts, and Wayne Dyer. The theme of Please, Pretty Lights -

Quotes by Ina Zajac  (?)

“You'll get through this. The way I see it, young women give mistakes too much power. It's not our mistakes that bring us down, but the guilt about our mistakes. It's the guilt that leads to more mistakes, bigger mistakes.”
Ina Zajac, Please Pretty Lights

“If you want to be happy, be" -- Leo Tolstoy
"The hard part is knowing it's easy" -- Abraham Hicks”
Ina Zajac

“It was finally all clicking together. Her life had a purpose after all. Every life had a purpose and she promised herself that she would remember that. She felt more valuable than any painting, more hopeful than any high, and prettier than any lights.”
Ina Zajac, Please Pretty Lights

“But that, my dear, is how life is. You can try to fight it, but it will fight right back. Better that you should embrace it, learn from it. Accept the darkness, because it’s who you are. It’s who we all are. Some of us get lost in it…others wrap themselves in it and wear it like skin.”
Marni Mann, Seductive Shadows

“I was making pancakes the other day and a fly flew into the kitchen. And that's when I realized that a spatula is a lot like a fly swatter. And a crushed fly is a lot like a blueberry. And a roommate is a lot like a fly eater.”
Demetri Martin
