Exclusive Interview: “Blind Devotion” Author Ty Drago

 

In the Systema Paradoxa series, various writers have told their own stories about “real life” cryptids, i.e. animals whose existence is unconfirmed by science. Y’know, Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, etc.

But in Ty Drago’s new Systema Paradoxa novella Blind Devotion (paperback, Kindle), he instead tells the fictionalized story of a “real life” interaction people had with a cryptid.

In the following email interview, Drago talks about why he took this approach to this sci-fi novella, as well as what else influenced this story.

Exclusive Interview: “Checkmate” Author Ty Drago

 

Usually when someone writes a novel involving a superhero, they’ve been influenced by the superheroes we all know and love: Superman, Spider-Man, and their super friends. Larger larger-than-life characters who use their superpowers for good.

But in the following email interview about his near-future science fiction superhero novel Checkmate (paperback, Kindle), author Ty Drago says his inspiration was not a powerful, larger-than-life hero with a big, cinematic history, but a smaller, more down-to-Earth character who predates them all.

While there’s some debate to their size, and to whether they’re cute or scary when they’re babies, everyone agrees that dragons are lizards. Everyone, it seems, except writer Ty Drago, who apparently thinks his name entitles him to rewrite the rules of biology however he sees fit for his new science fiction novel Dragons (paperback, Kindle). In the following email interview, Drago attempts to justify his perversion of biology, while also explaining what inspired and influenced this sci-fi story.
