Virginia 11-year-old has published more than 50 books and wants kids to love reading
RICHMOND, Va. — J’Ana Price published her first book at age 5. Now 11, she has more than 50 titles to her name and a platform aimed at getting kids excited about reading and writing.
Price appeared at the Chickahominy River Women Chapter SocieTea Talent Showcase in Richmond, Virginia, where I had the chance to talk to her about about her work as an author.
She told me her father, who is also an author, inspired her to start writing. Her first book, “Finding Myself,” remains meaningful to her.
“It’s like a memento,” Price said. “It shows where I started.”
Her catalog spans inspirational and educational themes, all focused on encouraging young readers.
“I think it’s important because without reading, you basically got nothing,” Price said. “Reading is really good for your mind and comprehension.”
Price also spoke about the role imagination plays in reading.
“Your imagination is the most important thing that you have… and when you read a book, your imagination is activated,” Price said.
Through her platform, J’Ana’s Planet, she offers resources and guidance for young aspiring authors.
Her advice for kids who struggle with reading: “Practice makes perfect. The more you read, your vocabulary gets better… and soon you’ll be reading like it’s second nature.”

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Douglas Shepp McCain, the eldest son of late Sen. John McCain, died suddenly at 66 on May 20, 2026, according to his obituary.
McCain was born on October 4, 1959, in Pensacola, Florida. He enjoyed surfing, baseball, and soccer. In 1997, he graduated from Jacksonville Episcopal High School.
Afterward, McCain attended the University of Virginia, where he majored in Systems Engineering, pledged SAE, participated in Navy ROTC, and then met his future bride, Ashley Jardine McCain.
After graduating, McCain joined the Navy to learn to fly, spending six years flying A-6 Intruders before beginning a long career with American Airlines. He then excelled and found work he truly loved, especially after being made captain.
Those who knew McCain said that he could always be counted on to tell you what he knew and, more often than not, explain why he was right.
He was also described as a loyal friend to many, and that he cherished each and every friendship that he had.
McCain was a devoted son and a loving father to Caroline McCain Hendrickson and Douglas Shepp McCain Jr., and recently found great joy in being Teddy’s grandfather.
His peers will remember him for his generous heart, his loyal friendships and his unwavering love for his family.
Private services will be held for his family. On Saturday, May 30, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., a memorial gathering will be held at the Princess Anne Country Club in Virginia Beach.
