Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, my name is Kyle Canon. Yes, that is a pen name, I don’t use my real name. I’ll get to why later. I am happily married, I would say ecstatically but nobody believes that until they actually see Lilly and me together. Other than work, we are inseparable and have been that way since we first got together. More about me, I am an avid outdoors person and spend as much time as I can doing everything from hiking in the Rockies to diving the waters off Hawaii. One of my favourite hobbies led, at least indirectly to my writing. I have been an amateur photographer for many years, usually focusing (pun intended) on landscapes, not people. That is, until Lilly and I got together. She modeled during college, partly to pay for school and encouraged me to photograph her, then friends
of her’s who were into modeling. Some of those photos were very artistic nudes.
Neither of us have families who would accept our doing nude photos, much less what would come next (that is why I have the pen name). I sold some of my work, gained a following and had some requests for more erotic shoots. Lilly and I talked a great deal about doing those shoots and finally decided it wouldn’t impact our relationship, and it hasn’t. At about the same time, we started visiting nude beaches, our
first was an accidental discovery in Hawaii. We went from nude beaches to nudist resorts, naturist parties and eventually found ourselves discussing sharing each other with other couples. I use many of those discussions to drive the characters and plots in my books and stories.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book is titled, The Resort. The idea came about after we visited a nudist resort in
Southern Florida. I was toying with different concepts for my next book and after one late
conversation with Lilly, I came up with the idea for this latest book
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I think most authors have some sort of ‘oddity’ when it comes to writing. I don’t know that my process is that strange. I usually think about a concept for a while before I write anything.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love reading and have a variety of favorite authors in many categories. Jim Butcher, David Weber are probably my two favorite at this time.
What are you working on now?
In 2019 I wrote a short story about an erotic possession. It was very popular leading to several fan emails requesting a continuation of the story. I started that after I completed edits on The Resort. Since it is a Halloween story, I feel a little pressure to get it finished by mid-October.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am still working on this. For years I did my best to promote my books on Twitter. I think Twitter is good but limited as so many other authors are doing the same thing. My biggest frustration is the time spent trying to promote takes away from writing.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
As cliché as it sounds, ‘Write what your heart tells you to write and forget about what other’s say.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Enjoy each day as if it is your last.
What are you reading now?
I just finished Peace Talks by Jim Butcher and am looking for something new.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have a sci fi concept I’d like to work on, but for now I have several other ideas I want to develop in erotic/romance.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
