Author Interview Part One: Suze Reese & ExtraNormal
I've been finding myself and ExtraNormal all over the web, which is both exciting and a little nerve-racking. Since all this media hopping is keeping me hopping, I'm thinking maybe I'll be allowed a little cheat. I just gave an interview to Remarkable Reads, and thought I'd post bits and pieces of it here while we're waiting for the full interview. Here's question number one (the basic one):
1. What can you tell us about your book ExtraNormal?Someone recently referred to ExtraNormal as genre bending,which I kind of like. I generally call it YA paranormal romance, but it also haselements of science fiction, adventure, and even humor. And romance. I think Isaid that already but that's importance enough to say twice.
Mira Johns is from the planet Nreim, visiting thenewly-discovered planet Earth as the first-ever representative of the student emissaryprogram. She's supposed to just blend in and observe. Her trainer tells herthat her mediocrity is her best quality for the assignment, which doesn'texactly boost her confidence. She has hundreds of rules to follow, most of whichinvolve various ways of saying she should stay away from males. She assumesthat will be easy, since their primitive pheromones are nauseating. But thereare two boys that make the rules pretty much impossible to follow—one becauseof his cruelty and the other because of his intrigue. The romance with thesecond complicates her life in ways she'd never imagined. Eventually sherealizes the awful truth that the two of them may not survive separation, yet couldvery well be terminated if their relationship is revealed. It also becomesclear that Mira was selected for the assignment for a reason, and that it ismore than a simple sight-seeing trip. The end is a fast-paced and complex rushto discover the source of threats against Mira's friends, and figure out the reasonshe was selected, all while keeping her romance a secret.
There many more questions, so stay tuned until the full interview shows up on Remarkable Reads!
