Halen knows the sparks igniting under her fingertips are
dangerous. She has spent her entire life trying to quell the tingly feelings
that make her destroy things, but now that she is back in Rockaway Beach, where
she watched her father drown, the flames have become impossible to tame.
Halen is trying to hold on, but when she is thrust into a
mysterious new world, the underwater realm of Elosia, she unravels the secrets
of her past and can't help but ignite. As she explores Elosia, she realizes her
life has been a lie. And when those who have deceived her come to her for help,
Halen must choose—walk away or unleash the magick that could destroy them all.

EXCERPT
"See who you are," the
mermaid whispered.
Halen's eyes clouded over and when
the smoke cleared she found herself standing in an open field. She was dressed
in a cotton dress which fell around her ankles. Soft grass tickled her toes.
She took a step forward and a flower sprung from the ground beside her. She
leaned down to pick the red poppy. As she took another step a flower sprang up
from between the blades of grass. Halen smiled. She walked a little farther and
with each step a new poppy sprouted and bloomed. She ran faster and the field
blossomed under her feet, and when she waved her hand, the entire valley filled
with red poppies. She inhaled their sweet scent and when she exhaled, the birds
glided in the breeze of her breath through an endless blue sky.
Halen laughed when the wind caught
her skirt and swept the fabric up over her head, but when she pushed it down,
dark clouds rolled overhead. She took one step forward and the grass beneath
her feet sizzled to a crisp. Taking another step, the poppies burst into
flames. The fire licked the hem of her skirt and she gathered it up over her
knees. Scanning the field, she spotted a boulder; if she could make it there,
remove her feet from the ground, she could save the rest of the field.
She ran in long strides, and with
each step, she scorched the ground with her fiery feet. Suddenly, she tripped.
Her hands touched down and the ground combusted with a brilliant light. The
fire raced through the field, spreading to the trees. The flames reached up,
lassoing the birds from the sky, dragging them to the ground. Halen crawled to
the rock and hoisted herself up. She stared out to the barren land. "No,
no. What have I done?" She clawed the air and the clouds rumbled with
thunder. The fire burned hotter and hotter under her flesh. The only way to
extinguish the flames was to release them. Tilting her head back, she opened
her mouth wide and screamed. What birds had not been burned turned now to black
beasts swirling in the torrid sky.
A QUICK CHAT WITH THE AUTHOR
Can you tell us about your book?
I love mermaids and magick, so
I thought why not bring them together. Of course I couldn't leave out shape
shifters and sirens. I love fantasy realms and worlds. Heck my husband says I
live in one, so why not write about one. Coral
& Bone is set in the Earth realm and the underwater realm of Elosia. Coral & Bone
is a meld of all my years of watching Disney movies and thrillers.
Coral & Bone is filled
with magick and spells.
If you could cast magick what would your first spell
be?
I could have a lot of fun with magick. First, I would make
sure no kids ever went to school hungry. So many kids start their day without
breakfast because they can't afford it. I don't know how they can enjoy the
school day with a rumbly tummy. I would cast a feast spell, so whenever they
got up in the morning there would always be food on the table.
The Etlins in Coral &
Bone are shifters.
If you could be a shifter what animal would you want to be
and why?
A crow because they are wickedly smart and eerie.
