Inside the Character: Getting to Know Skylar from Just Friends

Skylar was the first FMC that got me back in front of my computer after I released part one of No Fraternizing to quiet results the year prior. I knew very little about self-publishing then, but I knew I loved writing what I loved to read. And friends-to-lovers was the trope I gravitated toward when I decided to give this self-publishing journey another try—and Skylar was the FMC that made me fall in love with writing friends-to-lovers stories. I never gave her a last name, and it just feels wrong to do it now. She was the around-the-way girl who had left Brooklyn but returned and found that everything was different—including her childhood friend, Noah.

The original short story Skylar appeared in didn’t allow us to get to know the girl from Brooklyn beyond a few pages, but the Author’s Cut edition of Just Friends helped with that.

Still, let’s get to know Skylar a little more intimately now.
