Goodreads asked Lare'va Lemorte:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lare'va Lemorte Blue started as a dream I had three years before the 2011 Tsunami in Japan. I remember how blown away I was when that event really happened. The dream was of myself, sitting in a movie theatre among others, watching this incredible story play out.
It was such a profound encounter that I remembered it all the next day. Many of the details took a long time to research. Once it was finished I struggled with whether or not to publish it. There are a number of social issues in it that people seem to find very uncomfortable. I believe that is partly because they don't know how to solve them.
