Interviewing Zenn from Possession
Elana Johnson, author of Possession, is here today! She brought along her character Zenn, who is one of the love interests of Vi, our main character. Trust me when I say that Zenn is quite….well to put it in his own words complicated. He’s one of the reasons that the book is so deep and full of twists. Here’s your chance to see a little bit into his head before you really dive into the book.
1) Hi Zenn, thanks for coming by! First things first, if you had to describe yourself in just one word, what would it be and why?
Complicated. See, most of what I do and say, well, it’s complicated. You’ll see when you read POSSESSION.
2) Makes sense to me. What would you say is the hardest thing about living in your society?
Keeping secrets. There’s always someone listening or watching, and that makes my life…wait for it: more complicated.

3) There’s that word again! Is there anything that you actually like about living there?
Sure. The sunsets are nice. I always have a good dinner. And Vi lets me hold her hand when no one’s looking. The Goodgrounds aren’t all bad. They’re just—complicated.
4) Aw Zenn, let’s change the mood a bit. What are your feelings about Vi? I know that’s a loaded question, so take it as you will.
I have, and will continue to do anything for Vi. I love her. I’ve always loved her. She is my other half, my perfect match. And there’s nothing complicated about that.
5) So sweet! If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?
I tend to overthink things just a little. Sometimes I wish I was more like Vi or Jag in that respect. They can feel things, and just react. I feel, think, think some more, and then think some more.
6) If things are as complicated as you say, I can’t say I blame you. Can you share with us a dream that you have for the future?
I see me and Vi, living on a beach somewhere where she can shave her head if she wants, and I’ll bring her toast, and we can just breathe. It’s gonna happen…
7) I genuinely hope you are right Zenn, I really do. Finally, and thanks for being so wonderful, what would you like to tell readers before they head into Possession?
I hope they’ll remember the answer to #4 above. Everything, and I mean everything, I’ve done is for Vi. Hopefully they can see that.
Isn’t he a sweetheart?
Zenn is just one of the characters in Elana Johnson’s Possession and now you already have a taste of how deep they really are. I hope that you’ll take some time to add it to your TBR list. A huge thanks to Elana Johnson for stopping by!
