About the Author
How old are you?
Depends who you ask. If you ask the government and my parents, they'll answer 15. Ask me and I'll answer 172. I like that number. Plus, I'm pretty sure it makes me older than you *sticks tongue out*
Yeah, I'm 15.
Where do you live?
Creepers 0-0 I live in Virginia, USA. About an hour from where the book version of Vampire Diaries is set *eyes shining* Unfortunately, they don't actually film around here T-T Otherwise I'd be stalking Ian Somerhalder...
Oh, anyways...
Have you completed any books?
Yes, four now. Darkest Ebony, Black Silver (Darkest Ebony book 2), Equinox Storm (Darkest Ebony, book 3) and Deadly Design

Who are your favorite characters in published books?
Hands down, Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries and Jace from Mortal Instruments. I love them both <3
Who is your favorite character from your own books?
I've really got a soft spot for Kyri, Leo, and Cyrus, but I've got to say my favorite character is Fallon. Yes, crazy that the b!tch is my favorite character, but she is. I think I just sympathise for her, maybe even empathise a little. And I kind of have to love her, since she doesn't get the happily ever after she always wanted.
Darkest Ebony

Yes ^-^
The word count is roughly 113k =)
Do you intend to publish Darkest Ebony?
Acutally, it's self published ^-^ I'll be aiming for vanity published soon, but at the moment Darkest Ebony is published through Lulu.com. It will be available for public sale as soon as I handle the printing glitch.
What is Darkest Ebony about?
Werewolves ^-^ If you want the full pitch, it's on the Books of the Lyth page.
Is there any way I can read Darkest Ebony?

Do any of your other books have playlists?
No, they're not that special yet ;)
You wrote Equinox Storm really fast. Why is there so little progress on the fourth book?
Because I'm trying to give some of my other books attention, and I'd like to get Darkest Ebony published before I really start working on Returning Dusk. I'm hoping that being published will result in more fan-based feedback so I can figure out what elements are good and what elements suck.
How many books are there?In total, there will be five in the Darkest Ebony series, 3-4 in the Anita Sharpe series, and 3 in the Journals of Fallon Wolvesbane.
How does the Anita Sharpe series have anything to do with Darkest Ebony?
They're both set in the same world, but the characters are mostly unrelated.
Do Kyri and Anita ever meet?
Yes. They first come into contact in Equinox Storm for Kyri and Sweet Corruption for Anita. They'll cross again somewhere along the line in both series.
What are the Journals of Fallon Wolvesbane?
A trio of books from Fallon's perspective that comes after the Darkest Ebony series. Or, if you want to put it a different way, books 6-8 of Darkest Ebony.
Why are books 6-8 from Fallon's perspective?
Because I like Fallon, and because after Shadowed Silence Kyri doesn't have nearly as much to say. Not to say that she'll be excluded. There will be chapters from her perspective, but the majority of the book will be following Miss Wolvesbane.

Other Series
What do you intend to do with your other series?
Eventually, I intend to get most of them published. It totally depends on whether or not I finish them, and how bad they end up by the time I've strangled a story out of my imagination. It also depents on which ones become popular on Inkpop. So, not to fish for comments or anything, but if you like a project please pick and comment on Inkpop. It helps me figure out which ones people like and which ones are lame.
More to come later
