September & October
September was so busy that I skipped my monthly round up of articles I had written, so here is September and October together. In addition to writing a cover story for the Riverwest Currents, an article for M, and a few blog posts, I tapped in to a couple new publications.
The first of these is Scandinavian Traveler, official in-flight magazine of Scandinavian Airlines, and the biggest lifestyle magazine in Scandinavia, with 1.4 million readers. One of their editors read my book Heroes in the Night and asked if I would write an article giving an overview of Real Life Superheroes. I enjoyed working with them quite a bit and am glad to say that I will have another article in their December issue.
I also contributed to a new magazine called Cryptid Culture, which focuses on cryptozoology. I have a link where you can order a copy below. Besides an article about the ethics of killing Bigfoot by me, you have articles from famed cryptozoologists like Loren Coleman, Linda S. Godfrey, and Ken Gerhard, among others.

I’d like to also mention that I was guest this week for a segment on Wisconsin Public Radio’s Wisconsin Life, you can listen to that here: www.wisconsinlife.org/story/paranormal-investigators-look-ghosts-milwaukee
The Shepherd Express does an annual popular vote and I am a nominee for “Best Milwaukee Author.” If you would take a few minutes to vote for your favorite Milwaukee institutions and consider the Krulos candidacy, that would be awesome: Best of 2015.
I Sold my Third Book and I’m Pretty Happy About That
Good sales of my most recent book, Monster Hunters (which has seen a boost of publicity and public appearances this month due to the Halloween season, it’s available for purchase HERE, at my public appearances, or wherever fine books are sold) have led to a deal signed with my publisher for a third title, which will have a 2017 release date.
This third book, which has the simple working title of The End, will be about what can be loosely summarized as “apocalypse culture.” It’ll have three parts: the first will look at predictions about how the world might end, either completely or at least to such a degree that our status quo will be radically different. The second part will be about how people are preparing for such a life altering time. The last part will look a bit beyond the end of the world as we know it and what our lives might look like.
As usual, I’ll be trying to get a good mix of different perspectives. I’ll be talking to people that call themselves preppers, homesteaders, militias, survivalists, ecological scientists, statisticians, potential Mars colonizers, religious prognosticators, artificial intelligence programmers, and who knows who else might show up. Suggestions? Feel free to contact me: teakrulos@gmail.com
In addition to this good news, I also am currently shopping around another title I’ve been working on slowly over the last five years. I think it is really good and I’m looking forward to see what my happen with it. I’ll be posting here with more info when it happens.
Last, the Milwaukee Paranormal Conference is going to happen again in 2016, and we’re zeroing in on a venue and dates. We’ll likely be making this announcement at on October 30 at www.milwaukeeparacon.com!
And now….back to work.
