| Introduction | Award-winning author Skyla Dawn Cameron has been writing approximately forever. Her early storytelling days were spent acting out strange horror/fairy tales with the help of her many dolls, and little has changed except that she now keeps those stories on paper. She signed her first book contract at age twenty-one for River, a unique werewolf tale, which was released to critical and reader praise alike and won her the 2007 EPPIE Award for Best Fantasy. She now has multiple series on the go to keep her busy, which is great for her attention deficit disorder. Skyla lives in Southern Ontario where she dabbles in art, is an avid gamer, and watches Buffy reruns. She’s naturally brunette, occasionally a redhead, and probably going blonde again soon. If she ever becomes a grown-up, she wants to run her own pub, as well as become world dictator.

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
No, I don't believe in the evolution of kitchen utensils...I believe all were created by the Almighty Toaster.
