Skyler White

The Angel of Generous Victory

Let’s start out today’s news roundup with an extremely easy-to-win contest over at Borders True Romance, where Skye’s giving away three prints of the ‘modified angel’ archival prints signed by herself and artist Mo Hayden! There’s only a few entrants thus far, and a couple of those are spam-bots, so you stand a pretty good chance of winning!

In the wide world of interviews, VampFanGirl at Lovin’ Me Some Romance asked Skye some of the toughest and most interesting interview questions yet:

“During the first chapter, my initial impression of Olivia was that she had a self-deprecating humor when in fact, as the story progressed, she evolved upon the pages into an increasingly dark and disturbing character … My thought – which may be totally wrong – is that you’re attempting to convey modern human nature via this vampire character. What did you ultimately hope to represent to the reader with Olivia? Is she the result of a society drunk on lust and sex with the absence of love and forgiveness?”

Does Skye have any guilty pleasures? I don’t know, she won’t tell me; but you might find out if you read the new interview at Ramblings of a Bibliophile.

In other news, don’t miss a juicy new review at Vampires.com:

“It’s one of those rare books where you have to drink down every word, sip them slowly and taste each bloody drop.”

And, excitingly, Melissa at Books and Things, who won a signed copy of and Falling, Fly in a contest, posted a review of her own:

“Greek mythology, angel mythology, the Garden of Eden are all stories she used to twist into a interesting work of fiction. She also takes scientific philosophy to use as a counterpoint and basis for discussion … I recommend this book for those who love a dark story with a lot of philosophy [and] those looking for a different vampire story.”

Hope to see some of you this weekend at Houston’s Comicpalooza, where Skye will visit with fans alongside Chewbacca, Darth Maul and the inimitable Bruce Campbell.

Bitter hugs –
