YA author Kelly Coon is an editor for Blue Ocean Brain, a member of the Washington Post Talent Network, a former high school English teacher, ACT test prep book author, and a wicked karaoke singer in training. She adores giving female characters the chance to flex their muscles and use their brains, and wishes every story got the happy ending she's living near Tampa with her three sons, dashingly handsome husband, and a rescue pup who will steal your sandwich. Gravemaidens is her debut novel.

Monarch Rising (2022)
Harper Glenn
"Gritty and poetic, this nod to Great Expectations is a powerful reminder of the razor-sharp line between hero and villain and our capacity for both."

Cast in Firelight (2021)
(Wickery, book 1)
Dana Swift
"A spell-binding debut with cage-fighting witches, vigilante heroism, and an intoxicating slow-burn romance. Fans of Serpent & Dove's smart-alecky Lou and The Wrath and the Dawn's cunning Sharhzard should prepare themselves to fall head over heels for the fiery Adraa."
