Ana Hazel

Ana Hazel is a 30-year-old writer from New England and the author of the new novel Drowning Lessons. Drawing from her experiences growing up as a Mexican-American child in the US, Ana crafts stories woven with positive representations of the culture and people, even when they're not the main character. Diverse sexualities are well-represented throughout her work from the main characters to the side characters, and Ana considers herself a loud and proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. When not writing, Ana spends her time blowing out her eardrums with music blasted at ridiculous volumes, or reading thrillers and romances.

Praise

Impossible to put down, and a great credit to an aspiring author.

– Brandon B. (Goodreads)

Raw, real, and emotionally gripping, Drowning Lessons offers a heartfelt look at mental health, self-discovery, and the cost of ambition. It is perfect for fans of character-driven contemporary fiction with emotional weight and layered storytelling.

– Elizabeth K. (Goodreads)

Lola is one of the most complex characters in fiction . . . the type of character that stayed with me even when I wasn’t reading the book.
