Vanesa Faure – Author of Lucky, Honor, Justice & Blood, and Nothing Good Comes Easy

Vanesa Faure, also known as “Sassy,” is a proud New Orleans native, born in the Ninth Ward and raised in a sanctified home by her grandparents, mother, and siblings. Her life journey has been filled with hardship, faith, and perseverance. From becoming a single mother at 21 to serving a 25-year prison sentence, Vanesa's path has been anything but ordinary—but it’s through that adversity that her purpose as a writer was born.

While incarcerated, Vanesa turned to writing as a way to heal, express herself, and create something powerful out of pain. Her stories are fictional but grounded in emotional truth, drawn from real experiences of love, loss, resilience, and redemption.

Her published works include:

Lucky – Her debut novel, inspired by her time behind bars, follows a gripping journey of survival, hope, and second chances. Watch the official trailer: Lucky Trailer
