M. K. Theodoratus1 Name M. K. TheodoratusWebsite www.mktheodoratus.com Blog http://kaytheo.blogspot.com -- Fantasy Thoughts from My Easy Chair2 Country USA3 Do you prefer to read a particular genre? I mostly read various forms of fantasy or mystery books, though I read other stuff too.4 Do you write in the same genre? If not which one? I write fantasy since I never could break my "make-believe" habit. In reality, I'm a hermit who doesn't interact much with the outside world anymore, so creating fantasies where I can ignore the intricacies of the faddish world work best for me.5 Have you always written and what got you started professionally? Started writing in the sixth grade when my teacher introduced me to the concept of me creating my own stories on paper. Have written since then. I sold mostly non-fiction. I didn't start getting ending on most of my fiction until I retired. Writing keeps me busy and out of mischief. 6 How many books have you published? There Be Demons is the only book I've published, but I do have a list of several novellas and free short stories set in Andor. Once There Be Demons had a contract with a mom & pop publisher and I tried to build a platform for them. Must say the reviews for all of my available stories are decent.7 Which one would you like to tell us about? Actually, I'd like to mention the There Be Demons sequence. The whole thing started with an idea about how would a gargoyle protect a city. Night for the Gargoyles was born, featuring Gillen as loadstar, and sold to Spectra Magazine, a defunct ezine out of the UK. But I kept wondering how Gillen would cope trying to teach the headstrong teen-aged girl he admired. There Be Demons was born. While I shopped it, I wrote On the Run set in the same world. The sequence runs: Showdown at Crossings, Night for the Gargoyles, There Be Demons, On the Run, and Rendezvous with Demons, if it gets written. [Rendezvous is about 30,000 words of sloppy notes and some chapters at the moment8 Why did you write this book book and what is it about? See the book review here: There Be Demons9 Book cover and ISBN/ASIN: ISBN: 0999203908 - ASIN: B075Q6KJST10 What would you like your next book to be on? It's a little complicated. I have edits of a Far Isles Half-Elven novella in my computer I'd like to finish. Then, I don't final edits on the sequel/stand-alone book titled On the Run. Then, I'm working on a new book is a possible trilogy. The working title is Rendezvous with Demons, featuring Britt/Cahal and Pillar/Nate plus other characters facing down a demon team of Vetis/Grylerrque.11 If you could go anywhere in the universe, where would you go and why? My back yard. It's relaxing under the trees watching the birds and butterflies do their thing. It's my favorite place to read though I read mostly in my comfy chair in the living room.12 What is your favourite foreign food? I don't do favorites--either books or food. It all depends on my mood. Mostly I cook plain American, Mexican, and Greek. I learned to cook decent Asian food back in the day when my town didn't have any good Asian restaurants. My least go-to food is Indian though I often cook curries with a heavy Asian accent.13 Are you, or have you ever been a terrorist? I used to cause terror regularly, mostly when I was younger. I have strong opinions and wasn't shy about sharing them, especially in public meetings.Thank you very much for this interview M. K. Theodoatus, I look forward to your nrxt book.
