Interview with author Skyler White
Today we are joined by author Skyler White whose debut book and Falling, Fly was released this past Tuesday (March 2). Skyler kindly took a few moments out of her busy schedule to chat with RAO Reviews about her new book (read my review of the book here). After reading the interview, if you have any questions for Skyler, feel free to leave them below.
First, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for allowing RAO Reviews to interview you.
I’m so happy to be here. The book blogger community is such an amazing asset to writers and readers and part of why I like belonging to both groups!
With your debut book, you are introducing a very unique brand of “vampire”. Even your take on fallen angels and how they were conceived is quite refreshing. How’d this come about? How was this vision born?

Olivia is the fallen angel of desire – desire in its fallen or corrupted state. So she has no direct access to what she wants; she has to get it through others. Because she’s out of touch with her true nature, she latches on to what others want her to be. And that’s such a dependent posture, and such a predatory one, that it *is* vampirism. Read more
