Hi all! I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed CoCaP so far. I also wanted to clarify that while it sold in a one-book deal, there is a strong possibility for a sequel, and that informed how this book ended. Are you hoping for more (or were you frustrated with how things ended)? If so, please stay tuned, and check back here for updates. I truly appreciate hearing from readers!

I wanted to create two worlds that were complete opposites of each other, hence Varenia, which is a village in the ocean made of the remnants of sunken ships, and New Castle, which is carved into a mountain in a kingdom called Ilara. The only light comes from candles, fire, and a moss that glows with the phases of the moon. For someone who has spent most of her life outside, it is both a fascinating and horrible place. But at it's heart, Coral and Pearl is about Nor's relationship with Zadie, and what "home" really means.(less)
