Meet the author, Jane Coralin whose novel COLONY 51 will be released November 20. Jane’s grandmother, Juanita Santaliz Coralin, told stories in the shape of ghosts and spirits, reinventing island lore and family myth, even revising much of the Bible to help make home feel closer, even when she lived far away from Puerto Rico. Abuelita’s Stories, lush with lyricism and thorny juxtapositions inspired Jane’s longing to read, write, and construct worlds.
Jane spent fifteen years teaching at the University of Puerto Rico—Arecibo. Now she teaches in the MFA Creative Writing Program at Old Dominion University. Her novel, Colony 51, is her second book of fiction. She also co-authored Sister Chicas (Penguin/NAL) and is widely published in literary journals.
Please follow Jaded Ibis Press for all the upcoming excitement of this book launch. COLONY 51 is a proud achievement. We are grateful to Jane!
