I know we will enjoy it as much as INN BETWEEN. Thank you Marina for sharing your journey with us and offering one lucky winner your new book, THE DOLL’S EYE. From a young age, Marina delighted in creepy tales set in dark forests, deep wells, decayed and derelict buildings-stories that presented a meaningful human experience via the magical and the macabre. Her novel, GHOST RIDE was voted 2011 Ontario Library Association Red Maple Honour Book. THE DOLL’S EYE is Marina’s seventh novel, her second book published by Roaring Brook Press – the first was INN BETWEEN. She has a Master’s Degree in French literature and is an elementary school teacher. Marina Cohen was born and raised in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada. I am not only extremely grateful to my editor, Emily Feinberg, for loving it, but to those who passed on it because they forced me to write a better story. I tore it apart and rebuilt it word by word. I finally knew what was wrong with the story. When it sold in a two-book deal, I decided to have one final look at The Doll’s Eye before giving up on it entirely, and wham! It hit me. Devastated, I set it aside and wrote The Inn Between. I spent nearly a year revising it for him, but when it was finally submitted it didn’t sell.
It was the manuscript that garnered the attention of my amazing agent, John Cusick, and for that I’m so very grateful. I wrote The Doll’s Eye before I wrote The Inn Between. Holding it close one night, she makes a wish that just might change her world forever. Oh, how she wishes her family were more like those lovely dolls! Then one day, Hadley discovers a lone glass eye rolling around the floor of the attic.
