Cora Blu
Paranormal Romance
RH: What do you like doing outside of writing? Hobbies? For fun?
Cora: Gardening,
cooking, reading and gardening. Writing is an obsession so I can't list that.
RH: If you couldn’t
be an author, what would your ideal career be?
Cora: A
professional dancer.
RH: How did you
choose the genre you write in?
Cora: I write
IR/MC because it's how I grew up. Friends, neighbors, teachers...I've never
lived in a one race world. Underwater fantasy, because Twenty Leagues Under the
Sea caught my attention at a young age.
RH: What has been the best
compliment?
Cora: I'm adding
you to my prayer list that you never lose your writing style. (Are you kidding
me!!! So humbling)
RH: Is there
anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?
Cora: Your kind
and positive reviews, and private emails carry me like nothing else. I write
IR, not to highlight interracial couples, but to highlight the fact that people
live and interact interracially, multi-culturally. Not all conversations are
racial. Everybody's experience is different.
RH: Is there a
message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Cora: I just
released book II in my fantasy Brothers of Element series. "Blade".
Researching the tsunami in Japan from 2011. The level of heartbreaking was overwhelming.
The message in the story is twofold. Shark finning is out of control in the
Pacific Ocean, and an underlying bullying is going on between the hero and
heroine. The hero will come to realize he's unknowingly looked down on the
heroine because she is Irrawaddy dolphin and not tiger shark.
RH: What was your
favorite chapter (or part) to write and why?
Cora: The
heroine, Miyuki Takahashi, gets into a sword fight and it gets...messy. I cried
writing that scene. And the hospital scene when they visit a hurt child rescued
from fallen debris. I laughed so hard.
RH: Have you ever
been surprised by a controversy among fans or reviewers - for example, you
created a character without thinking too much about what people would think of
him, and found some readers loved him and some hated him?
Cora: Mikhail
from my contemporary, Stranded but not alone. He's the twin to my hero, Seth. I
get requests to give him a story. From my fantasy, I get requests to give
Her'lion a book. He's the queen's personal security. He's the color of tar and
a bull-shark shifter with lavender eyes. He's one of the most feared guards,
and protects the queen like a bulldog.
