Author Bio
How did I become a
writer?
My story could be a book of itself. I will not lie. I am the “accidental writer”. I have been working in health care for many years. It was when I decided to read books on my way to work that I stumbled upon the possibility of writing.
How did it happen?
I take the train to get to my job in N.Y.. I had become bored with reading the daily newspapers It was then that I decided to read a book instead. Mind you, I had not read a book in years! I proceeded to read books by J.R. Tolkien, Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, and George M. Martin. I found those books sooo cool! I love fantasy fiction. It was when I became addicted to a certain series; that it happened. I read every book from that series and when I asked the book store clerk when there would be more the man gave me terrible news. “Ha, that guy puts out a book every five years. “WHAT”? I could not believe that. It was then that I began to wonder what if I (yes me) could write a book myself. This was a joke to me until I came up in minutes with a plot for a fantasy fiction tale.
How did I do that!?
The plot was way TOO COOL to just do nothing with. And I will not lie. I made every type of mistake one could make in learning how to write. I have had no formal training and I successfully dropped out of college, years ago! That first idea became THE BOOK OF SWORDS, a medieval styled swords and sorcery epic. That book gave me many headaches, before I learned how to write it!(great e book that it is) So I took a break and wrote: THE LAST KRAKEN, a tale of a giant, leviathan squid running amok, in the 1800’s. It was when I was writing that book that I began to realize that I had somehow in only a little more than a year became an author. I finished that first book. I then proceeded to test a chapter of it on my school teacher sister. My sister invited me over to hear my tale. My sister gave me many words of encouragement: “Let’s all have a good laugh”! were her words! I read her a chapter. After I read that chapter my sister began to stutter and jaws were dropping everywhere! “HOW IN THE HELL”?! were her words! And then I began to write another book called REVENGE OF THE WOLF. One day I passed my laptop to a girl I was dating and asked her to read an emotional turning point of this romance/action/horror story. As she was reading it; I was in awe as the woman slowly began to cry! I then spent the rest of that year writing many books. And here I am! I am in this for the long haul. I am now an author /poet /songwriter. My journey just goes to show that one can never truly know what they are capable of; until they give it that one good try! I can truly say I LOVE WRITING.---SKYLER PATTERSON

Tell us
about yourself.
HI My name
is Skyler Patterson. I am a very new author. I have only been writing since
2013. I love fantasy fiction. My journey to become an author is probably the most impossible story you will
ever hear! I was riding the train into New York to my health care job and I grew tired of reading newspapers, so I decided to try something new. I decided
to read a book. I read books by J. R. Tolkien, and Bram Stoker and Anne Rice,
and George R. Martin. When I went looking for more books from one author the
store clerk stated: “be ready to wait for 5 to 6 years! I could not believe
that! So I decided to write my own books. My first book was THE LAST KRAKEN. I
then wrote THE BOOK OF SWORDS. I then wrote this paranormal romance REVENGE OF
THE WOLF. I love reading stories about fantasy fiction and i love writing it.
Where and
when do you like to write?
Okay, I like
to write in the morning since I work in the evening. I love to write in coffee
shops and parks. I find that the different types of people that I meet every-day,
give me ideas for characters in my books. However I will write whenever a
really cool idea presents itself.
What is your
process for creating worlds.
Okay worlds.
For my books I love placing my stories in different time periods. I love the
idea of action, romance and horror against the backdrop of medieval and the
early turn of the century. On my BOOK OF SWORDS EBOOK I needed an entire world.
To do that I took a blank piece of paper and drew what the world would look
like. I needed names for the places within it. Because the tale was filled with
races of people descended from tigers, dragons, and snakes. I had to separate
the climates and such. I also had to establish religions too. I had to
establish the rules of sorcery. Also, I could not begin to write that story
until I established all of those things. I used the paper as an outline. (I tried to begin without it and it would not work) After creating something on
that epic scale; creating smaller environments like those in REVENGE OF THE
WOLF and THE LAST KRAKEN are easy. The Kraken story which is about a giant
octopus running amok in the 1800’s I needed to create the massive sea castle
that the protagonist Captain Slaymore Seaborne lived in. Building a world for
an ebook is about as close as you can get to playing god!
Of all of
the characters in this book, who is your favorite and why?
Okay, this
book like all of my ebooks have a large supporting cast of characters. I would
have to say Justice Sorrowfell. Because he was just in love with a woman who
was killed. He did not want to kill anyone. He was just filled with so much
grief and he needed to have his revenge. He is feeling ashamed in a way about
his actions until he finds out that his slain fiancé Angelica is un-dead, and
is happy that he is avenging her. And also because he has to somehow decide who
does he kill to feed and avoid killing innocent people. Harletta and Angelica were fun characters as
well.
Please tell
us what other projects you have going on right now.
Right now I am very pleased with this new book. I have finished the 2nd book in the ROTW trilogy. I am editing it
right now and it will be released in the fall. The next book I will put out in
a few weeks is “THE LAST KRAKEN UNLEASHED on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles
ebooks. That is action and adventure on the high seas in the 1800’s.That book
is my favorite book that I have ever written. I have many, many books coming
out this fall. Most of them will be YA romance mixed with action and adventure.
And all will be fantasy fiction. With some luck i may be able to make a career
out of this writing thing. Yep. And also My new Revenge Of The Wolf Book is now
also on Barnes and Nobles Nook. And I will be also putting it out on paperback
soon. And for readers interested in contacting me; my email is skypatt40@Aol.com.
Thank you so much.

Book Excerpt
Ezekiel Underhand climbed up into his coach. The driver snapped his
whip and The carriage leapt forward into the night. It was a warm evening the
crickets creaked and the wind blew a gentle breeze through the air. The coach
bounced across the cobblestone; until it left the town, and the road turned to
dirt. The dwellings were now replaced with trees and a smothering darkness.
Ezekiel peeked from his window out into the unknown blackness. Sitting next to
him was one of his guards. Outside two guards followed upon horseback, bringing
up the rear. He recalled the last words of Justice. “Beware of the grey wolf!
What could that city man possibly mean by that? Ah tale you them city folk sho
are craz---”! Suddenly Ezekiel heard it. “HOOOOWWLL”!! It was strong and feral!
It rose into the night sky. It was a howling. It was the howling from a wolf!
Ezekiel could not help but feel a sense of dreadful foreboding. This sent a
chill up his spine. The cowboy then thought better of his fears and began to
smile. The man stated one word: “Impossible”! The thought of a wolf attack and
the effect of the Brandy he was drinking caused him to laugh more loudly. It
was then that he saw it. Ezekiel gazed out of one side of his carriage and was
in complete disbelief! The man began to rub his eyes , but it was still there.
It was an oversized grey wolf and it was running beside the coach! The creature
was growling and Ezekiel caught sight of his sharp white fangs! Then there was
the sound of another growl coming from the other side of the coach. Ezekiel
dove over the seat to a shocking sight. There was another wolf on the other
side chasing the coach as well! Ezekiel yelled “What in western hell”!! The
cowboy drew his flintlock pistol and banged it on the ceiling of the cart. The
cowboy leaned outside of the window and yelled “HEYYYYY”!! “Faster don’t you
see them animiles”!! Them are Wolves”!! he yelled. The driver gazed and was in
complete shock! The driver reached for his shotgun and aimed a shot at one of
the wolves. The shot missed. The horses were in a state of panic as they
whinnied and gained more speed! The cowboy began to shoot at the wolf on his
side of the coach. The cowboy missed. Suddenly could be heard a third wolf
coming from the back of the coach! Suddenly could be heard a thud on the roof
in the back of the speeding coach. The wolf had made an impossible jump onto
the roof of the coach! The driver turned and fired off his second barrel and
missed again! There would be no reloading as the wolf on the roof bounded and
leapt straight for the driver’s throat! The oversized creature caught the
driver and sailed with him off the side of the speeding vehicle! “NOOOO”!! He
yelled! Ezekiel gazed back in horror as he saw the beast tearing the driver to
pieces on the ground behind the coach! Now the coach was driverless Ezekiel
could now see there were three creatures chasing him. The cowboy began to think
again about the impossibility of what was occurring. Yet it was indeed
occurring! The guard sitting next to him stood up near to the door.! The man
began to fire at the wolves running
alongside the carriage! Upon a sudden a wolf came sailing from the opposite
side! Right through the carriage door! The beast had hit the guard from behind!
Both man and beast flew straight out the door on the other side of the vehicle!
“AHHHHHIEEE”!! the doomed soul yelled! Both doors of the carriage went flying
off! The man was being torn to pieces on the ground! One of the guards shot and
killed one of my four legged brethren and he went down with a thud! I changed
to werewolf upon two legs! I jumped
upon the back of the Man’s steed ! I swung at the man’s head and it flew
off his shoulders! It landed within Ezekiel’s Carriage! I jumped off of the steed and the headless
man’s corpse was still riding the horse! What a sight! I could see Ezekiel
staring at the headless horseman in a state of horror! Ezekiel shrieked when he
gazed down at the head of his guard staring up at him upon the carriage floor!
And then one of my four legged brethren, attacked the final guard from the
rear! Down the steed fell! Man and steed were sliding in the dirt towards me! I
was still a two legged wolf! I snatched the man from the dead steed and raised
him from the ground with my claws round his neck! My eyes were a fiery gaze,
and teeth baring gaping fangs of doom! I snapped the man’s neck like a twig! One of my brethren wolves slowed
his speed and allowed the coach to get in front of him. The beast then made an
impossible leap onto the roof. The wolf then ran across the roof and leapt onto
the horse leading the team pulling the coach! It was an impossible leap!
Ezekiel fired his pistol at the carriage roof! Missed! The wolf caught the
horse round the neck and drug it to the ground.! Then everything became surreal.
The creature hit the ground sending up dust in the air like a dust ball! The
coach tumbled over and crashed into the ground with a thud! The impact of the
crash tossed out the cowboy varmint like he was being spat into hell! Ezekiel
lost his gun in the crash and was trying to raise his injured body from the
ground. Ezekiel looked at the horses who were being eaten by two of the wolves.
One wolf was not partaking of the feast of injured horse. Me! I had shifted
shape once more. I was now a four legged dealer of death! This four legged wolf
stood still as death and stared dead on the cowboy! This creature crouched ,
and his jaws gaped. From the beasts mouth dripped slaver and his growling shook
the cowboys soul! I gazed upon my prey, and stalked in slowly! The cowboy
reached for his large knife. The man’s forehead was filled with blood and it
spilled into his eyes distorting his view. The cowboy shrieked and his scream
sliced through the night like a sharp dagger. “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Suddenly the
wolf ran in full speed towards the varmint cowboy. The man tried to crawl away
but was too late. This wolf grabbed his legs and dragged him back! The cowboy
turned over in time to see the other two wolves leave the two dead horses they
were feasting on and bound in his direction. This Justice turned and gazed into
the other beasts eyes and they seemed to sense my purpose! They quickly began
to stalk in slowly. It was then that This one called Justice changed back to
human form. The other wolves stopped briefly and gazed at me. They were
awaiting my permission to begin their feast! This Justice walked towards the
cowboy as he was about to be eaten alive. “YOUUU?! NOOOOO”! He yelled.
“PLEASSE”! he begged! “OH, you would beg?! The cowboy who takes the lives of
whores with extreme prejudice”! This Justice replied. “Her name was Harletta!
She was a whore! But she was my companion! And you killed her”! Said I. I drew
my dagger and walked closer. “HUH,IT IS YOU? (ARGHH) NOOOOOO”! yelled he! The
other wolves backed slowly away. “I will be her Justice varmint”!! Said i. I
nodded my head towards the furry wolves waiting near me! They snarled! Then
they were tearing the cowboy’s legs and feet to pieces! “AIIIEE”! he shrieked
in his pain! The one called Justice lifted the dying man‘s head and cut his
throat. This Justice turned back into the the wolf. The other beasts sniffed me
then returned to their feast. I began to sense that my power was stronger than
i had thought. Other wolves took me for their own, even in human form. I could
have others of my creed do my bidding! The one called Justice bounded back
towards the city; whilst the moon was still high in the sky! Behind me I left a
large puddle of red ..blood!—REVENGE OF THE WOLF/SKYLER PATTERSON
