Educated as a scientist and graduated as a mathematician, Cora Tate has been a full-time professional entertainer most of her life, including a stint as a regular performer on the prestigious Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. Cora’s repeated attempts to escape the entertainment industry have brought work as a librarian, physics teacher, syndicated newspaper columnist, and city (land use) planner, among other occupations. She lives, writes, and continues to improve her dzonkha vocabulary and pronunciation in Bhutan but visits the US and Europe to perform and thereby to recharge her bank account. Cora has written four novels, three novellas (one published), three novelettes (two published), and forty-some short stories, of which thirty have been published in six countries. Her work won the 2019 Fair Australia Prize.
