LOS ANGELES — Adult actress Ryder Skye, nominated for AVN and XBiz Awards, kicks off the new year with a magazine cover and an interview in two adult publications.

Skye, who was given the nod for AVN’s Best New Starlet and The Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year awards as well as XBiz’s New Starlet of the Year, is interviewed in the February issue of Genesis magazine — available on store shelves now. She is also featured as the cover girl for Xcitement Magazine’s Jan. 15 issue.

The exotic Eurasian performer will also attend the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas from Jan. 8 to 11 and will be signing at Hustler Video’s booth (No. 4001).

“This is a great way to start the year,” Skye said. “My fans can get to know me better with my interview in Genesis, then they’ll have the chance to meet me in Vegas and I’ll be on the cover of Xcitement Magazine when they get home. I’m looking forward to seeing all of them at the Hustler booth and I hope they enjoy watching me on screen as much as I enjoy being on camera. I’ll continue to bring my all to every scene I’m in 2009!”
