INTERVIEW WITH CORA
Kelly: Why were you given the name Cora?
Cora: My grandmother was Coraline. I’m named after her.
Kelly: What, if anything, does your zodiac sign mean to you?
Cora: My birthday is December 5th. I am Sagittarius, the Archer. Sagittarians have lively personality and are optimists. I am a typical Sagittarian. I’m direct, forthright, and I say what I think.
Kelly: How much pride do you take in your appearance?
Cora: *laughs*: A lot. I don’t care what anyone says, people are drawn by the visuals and I take care of my appearance. My hair is always nicely styled. I love to shop and dress nice. I don’t mind waking up thirty minutes early, so when I step out the door, I look my best. Echo might not admit it but he was first attracted to all this. *waves her hand to indicate her face*
Kelly: Are you also attracted to guys because of their appearance?
Cora: *laughs*: At first, but what holds my interest is their personality.
Kelly: Where do you currently live (town, neighborhood, locale)? Do you like it?
Cora: Kayville, Oregon Wine Country. I’m okay with it. Before I met Echo, I couldn’t wait to finish high school and leave. Now, it’s not so bad. When with him, other cities, countries, even realms is just a portal away
Kelly: Who is your best friend? Describe them briefly.
Cora: *smiles*: I have two. Raine, beautiful hair, hazel eyes, freckles, tough as nails, yet the most loyal friend ever. Then there’s Echo. I never knew I could be best friends with a guy. That he’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a man only makes it perfect.
Kelly: What is your greatest talent?
Cora: *laughs*: I’m good with makeup, hair and clothes. I might one day be a stylist if this soul business doesn’t take too much of my time.
Kelly: Do you have any irrational fears/phobias?
Cora: *squints*: Not really. I live in a farm, so bugs and small animals don’t bother me.
Kelly: What is your worst habit/vice?
Cora: Curling my hair. I hate flat iron and blow driers, which means it takes forever to do my hair. But the end result is so worth it.
Kelly: What is your most cherished possession?
Cora: *lifts her hand to display a ring*: A promise ring from Echo. It belonged to his mother and his grandmother before her.
Kelly: *studies the ring*: It is gorgeous. Is the writing runic?
Cora: No, it is Druidic. The middle one has a special meaning.
Kelly: What?
Cora: *points at the three rays that converge at an apex*: This is called Awen. The three rays have different meanings. The left and right rays symbolize female and male energy. The center ray is their harmonious balance.
Kelly: *touches the three spirals*: And this one?
Cora: That’s the triskellion. It represents Druidic virtues.

Cora: That’s the triskellion. It represents Druidic virtues.
Kelly: Nice. What makes you blush?
Cora: That’s easy. When my mother calls my boyfriend hot. There’s the ew factor, but at the same time, I’m reminded Mom is a woman too
Kelly: What is your relationship status at the start of the story?
Cora: Are you kidding? I’d just left the crazy house at the beginning of the story and I was in a pitiful state to have a relationship. Then Echo crossed my path and my life changed.
BLURB
One lost love.
One lost best friend.
One hot soul reaper.
Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.
The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.
Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.
