Author bio

Pomela's Revenge, Book II of the Skin Walker series now available for pre-order on Amazon and other distributors! About Me: Ever since she was a child, Kyla Stan enjoyed creating fantasy stories. In fact, she has a notebook from when she was a child filled with stories that are being updated for a modern young adult audience. Kyla knew at a young age that being a writer was her dream, so she pursued it at the young age of sixteen. Kyla hopes her writing will help other people with mental illness, such as anxiety and depression. Kyla also wants people to be aware of environmental issues, some of which are reflected in her dark mermaid novel titled Forbidden Tides and the first book of the Skin Walker Series, Poet Tongue. She has a degree in Communications, and a master’s in English and Creative Writing. Kyla is also an adjunct professor and teaches various levels of creative writing at Southern New Hampshire University. In my spare time, I love to play video games, write, take photos of animals, bake, and play with my amazing pets!
