In 2008, Annaya self-published her debut novel, Never Too Much: A Journey of Love along with her spoken word poetry CD titled: All about the Game of Life. In 2010, she released If You Love Me, You Will Do It, a handbook for adolescent girls. Shortly after the release of this book, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She battled that challenge victoriously and has since published two additional poetry CDs entitled: Love Unconditional and Through the Storm along with the Life Series, poetry EBooks. 

Annaya wears many hats including being a single mother of two teenagers who are attending college on sports scholarships. As a CPA, she realized that one of the biggest hurdles young people face is leaving college with a ton of student loan debt. So, having navigated her two children on a path to ensure they leave college debt free along with being involved with various successful business ventures has given Annaya the necessary knowledge base to be considered an expert in several fields.  

Her latest projects include a book about her life as a single mom in sports and the miracles she encountered along the way. She is also in the process of expanding her CPA practice to include a large tax preparation component with completely automated systems.
