BIOGRAPHY

Theophanes Avery is an author, blogger, artist, photographer, and hapless wanderer. They have more hobbies and interests than bones in their body. They love easy hikes, poking at abandoned things, trying to find haunted dolls at antique stores, wandering through cemeteries, and just exploring in general. They love history, science, and weird people.

They are an Elder Millennial that lives in rural New England and hope to found their own food forest/farm in the area someday. In the meanwhile, they are content to roam far and wide looking for the wild and whimsical to inspire and to blog about.

      • I would like to establish my own food forest and farm with which to live on and give back to the community. Ideally, it'd be a large acreage with trees and plants specifically chosen to feed and home as large a population of wildlife as possible in addition to the humans living on the property. I'd happily live out my days in the woods providing guardianship to my little utopia, encouraging other writers and artists, and finding new and innovative ways to live an abundant life with nature instead of fighting against it.

      • Honestly, I have no idea but I have been told my satirical fiction resembles Terry Prachett's whimsical style and my humorous stories about my own life have been compared to David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs. I'll take the compliment as I think all these writers are absolutely hilarious!

    • If you had the choice to rewrite any of your books, which one would it be and why?

      • My first book Honoring Echo was written in 6 weeks of absolute trauma. Although I did have a professional editor go over it, I feel she was a little light handed and I think I repeated myself a lot and got lost in certain sections. This was even more apparent when a few years later I narrated the audio version and wanted to edit it while I was going along! Being new at narration I read it through 5 times until I absolutely hated every second of the process. Maybe someday I can go back to it and give it the attention it deserves but for now it served its purpose - it showed me I could write and publish a book and I have gone so far from there!

      • I have writing going back to my early teens and it's a real surreal to read some of those pieces. They're written surprisingly well and are still often hilarious but you could definitely tell my age and emotional immaturity at that time. My writing definitely has more nuance and empathy in it now. I have experienced so much more in life that the fictional characters I come up with also became a lot more diverse. It's all been a wonderful process.

    • When you were young, did you ever see writing as a career or full-time profession?

      • Absolutely not. Although my sixth-grade English teacher caught me scribbling a manuscript down by hand one day and said I would be a writer when I grew up but I didn't believe her. I was writing as a form of escapism because I had a socially difficult life and pretty much no friends at the time. In my writing I could be the hero of the story and have companionship and adventures to boot. But in the real world I wanted to be a paleontologist - a dream that'd eventually die a long and painful death under the weight of my mounting health issues. Somehow during all this I continued writing and here I am.

      • Well, my first two books are all stories from my actual life. But I also have twinges of myself in my fiction. All the characters in Achilles in Heels mirror some part of my former teenage self. Achilles represents my struggles with gender norms, Deidamia is the brash and outspoken character I wish and wanted to be in those years, and Patroclus somehow took on the mediator role that I often found myself in during my adolescence. Other works sometimes have clips of real conversations in them - things I find insightful, strange, or funny.

      • I have always been absolutely terrible at picking titles but I make my own covers with my photography and limited illustrating skills. I know Milking the Cat elicits people's curiosity from the title and the photo on the cover draws them in even further. This book I think is the most approachable because I somehow nailed both things. I struggle with the others.

      • Writer's Block for me is usually the result of isolation or burnout. As such the answer is somewhat simple. First you must accept you have writer's block and just be OK with not writing for a bit. Then you have to refocus on taking care of yourself. Are you getting good sleep? Are your stress levels too high? Are you eating well? And then once you have covered the basics if you are still having trouble you should go out for walks, go explore an area or place you've never been to, and surround yourself with other creative people. Inspiration will find you at this point. Also keep a dream journal. Your brain sometimes does its best work at night while you are asleep!

      • I do but it's mostly as part of my marketing. If there's a particularly glowing review I'll often share it on FaceBook or Twitter or wherever else to garner more attention to the book. That being said I have gotten some comments and reviews over the years that have made my heart absolutely swell. It is an experience like no other to have a complete stranger tell you that your work has touched them in some way, taught them something, inspired them to do something, or even that they're using your words to help teach children half a world away! I wouldn't change that for anything. And as for the bad reviews... sometimes those can be downright hilarious too. I am at a point in my life where I recognize I am not everyone's cup of tea and there will always be haters and that's OK. It's their loss not mine. In the meantime, by leaving negative comments or reviews they're still helping me out by adding engagement. The algorithms love that!

      • I'm pretty sure I have flagrantly uncontrolled ADD so just sitting down and focusing long enough to write anything can be as challenging as trying to put a diaper on a wild bear. And then sticking to one project long enough to finish it is also a momentous challenge. I have SO MANY partial manuscripts just floating around in limbo it's not even funny.
