About Zora Maire:
Zora Marie is not only an author, but also an
actress and an artist. She is currently working on a BFA in graphic design and
paying for it with her three part-time jobs. Between all of that she has
written, edited, and released her first of many novels. We could ramble on
about her, but instead let’s allow her answers to the following questions give
us a little insight to who she is.
Interview With Zora Marie:
1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
Zelia
is a unique story, while I dance around troupes, I also try to approach her
emotional journey in a way that an actual person would react. I say emotional
because her physical journey is nothing that anyone could survive, what alone
the fact that there are wizards, dragons, elves, dwarves, and she can talk to
animals.
The
mythology in the story is my own creation, a mixture of Greek and Norse
mythology if you will. The gods actually started out as Norse if we’re being
honest, but after a while it became clear that they weren’t so I pushed them
further into their own beings and it opened doors for the story to really
unfold.
2.
What inspires you to
write?
Everything, the world around us, my past, mythology, art, the messages that can be conveyed, all of it has a part to play in why I write.

3. If you could be friends with one of your
character, which one would you chose?
Now
that’s a tough one, I love so many of my characters. If I had to choose just
one, I would have to say Eargon, he’s such a caring soul. I would explain
further, but he is someone I want you all to meet when the time is right.
4. Do you have a special time to write or how is
your day structured?
Structure?
What’s that?
You
may think I’m joking, but outside of college classes my life does not currently
have structure. I wish I could say it did, but working three part-time jobs on
top of everything else doesn’t really allow for what I consider structure.
5. Do you have a favorite food or drink you must
have nearby when writing?
Um,
water, past that I usually get so into my writing that everything around me
falls away.
6. Do you have a favorite spot to write?
At
my desk, at home, where I seldom am as of late is my favorite spot to write. Luckily
I get a lot of writing in at other places.
7. If your fairy godmother waved her wand and
whisked you away to the location of your choice, which place would you choose,
and why?
Depends on if we’re talking fantasy or real
life. If fantasy and more specifically my writing, I would go to Elyluma.
Elyluma is a place where nature and home are one in the same. Besides, I have a
bit of a thing for horses.
8. What are writing projects are you currently
working on?
Currently, I’m working on the second book of
Zelia’s series. It picks up right where book one stops and takes her on a
journey to accept the things that happen in the first book. I can’t really tell
you more without giving spoilers so I must bite my tongue for now. I can tell
you that I do have an audiobook in the works.
