\"Skye<\/a><\/p>\n

To celebrate the release of Anna Kyle’s first book, Skye Falling<\/em><\/a>, I organized a bitty blog tour and because I was organizing it I didn’t feel even a little bit guilty making the first stop my own blog \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

From Writer To Author<\/h2>\n

by Anna Kyle<\/a><\/p>\n

My novella, SKYE FALLING<\/em><\/a>, hit the shelves (the internet has shelves, right?) last week and is officially published. YAHOO!!! I even peeked at the Sneak Peek offered at B&N and there were my words, staring back at me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m officially an author. An honest-to-god author.<\/p>\n

One day you’re a writer, the next you’re an author.<\/p>\n

Hooray! *I lift a glass while dancing*
\nHoly crap! *I cower in a corner*<\/p>\n

Of course, most writers aim for publication. We want folks to read what we wrote with our hot, sweaty fingertips, or sometimes in my case, fingertips glowing an unnatural orange from my comfort food, Cheetos. I\u2019m ecstatic and excited when I remind myself that I love Lake\u2019s and Skye\u2019s story; it\u2019s sweet and sexy and funny. I swing to nervous and scared when I wonder what others will think. Then I take a deep breath.<\/p>\n

SKYE FALLING<\/a><\/em> is out there. People will love it, like it, or\u2026not. So far they seem to like it but it\u2019s out of my hands. And that\u2019s scary. Maybe this happy\/scared swing is something every writer goes through when their first book is published. Or it\u2019s just me. It could very well be just me.<\/p>\n

The sheer panic has subsided but I\u2019ve got a fresh bag of orange salty goodness waiting in the cabinet for when it returns, and it will because the next book in the series is on deck.<\/p>\n

SKYE FALLING<\/a><\/em> is technically Book 2 in the Wolf King series. Book 1, OMEGA RISING<\/a><\/em>, comes out later this year or early 2016. Huh, you ask. You heard me, I reply.<\/p>\n

I started writing The Book (you know, the one rattling around in your head I know you know what I\u2019m talking about). I\u2019d always wanted to and the timing was right. It took a long time (who knew writing a book was so hard? No one ever told me so I\u2019m telling you that writing a book is hard but SO worth the effort). In the middle of that process, I\u2019d get frustrated and stuck (the dreaded sucky-stucky). During one particularly long patch I pulled Lake, a supporting character in The Book, aka OMEGA RISING<\/a><\/em>, because he was so clear in my head and needed an equally awesome heroine. Lake\u2019s and Skye\u2019s story, SKYE FALLING<\/em>, was accepted by Red Moon Romance and two months later they accepted OMEGA RISING<\/em>, the loins from which SF sprang to get all biblical on you.<\/p>\n

So SKYE FALLING<\/em>, being a novella that can also stand alone, was published first. It\u2019s a paranormal romance starring Lake, a sexy wolf shapeshifter who always has his friend\u2019s back, and Skye, an impulsive Fae halfling princess determined to go around, through, or over Lake to carry out her plan, which never actually goes according to the plan.<\/p>\n

Their story was so much fun to write. I hope you love reading it.<\/p>\n
