Trishla

Trishla asked Mara Rutherford:

Nor is one of the most sensible and mature female protagonists I ever read about! She's my favorite character! She's neither cruel nor powerless. You created a perfect balance within her! I love the way she thinks without losing her morality or regard for others. Hats off! Who inspires you to create such a character? I want my characters to be like her too!

Mara Rutherford I'm so sorry I didn't see this before! What a wonderful compliment! Thank you! Honestly, Nor is the embodiment of who I aspire to be. In every tough spot I put her in, I asked myself what I would hope to do, if I were braver and more selfless like she is. Obviously she's not perfect; She does some things that might seem reckless or foolish at times, but I hope they come off as true to who she is as a person.

Cora asked Mara Rutherford:

Crown of Coral and Pearl was so amazing!!! I was wondering if you had any advice for young authors? Perhaps surrounding query letters or other publishing bits and bobs? I've written a novel and I'm trying to move forward with it, but I can't seem to summarize it in 150-200 words and still make it sound... right? I'd love advice, and I can't wait for Kingdom of Sea and Stone! Thank you!

Cassie asked Mara Rutherford:

I am just so impressed at the Crown of Coral and Pearl series. I read them back to back in the last two days. I just couldn't stop reading. Will there ever be more in this world? Doesn't even have to be these characters just this world you created was incredible.
