Julie Csaki asked Megan Crewe:

Hi! I'm currently reading the Fallen World Trilogy and love it! I have been really wondering if the island in the books is based on an actual Canadian island, and if so, which one?

Megan Crewe Kaelyn's island is made up, in that there is no island in the exact place I was picturing it, at that exact distance from the mainland, with that layout of habitation etc. But I did base the natural scenery, houses, etc. on various towns I visited in Nova Scotia. Probably the closest is Cape Sable Island, although it's farther south, has a few different towns rather than one consolidated one, and is close enough to be connected to the mainland by a bridge.
