Meet Mad Matt Mikalatos

Matt Mikalatos

Fellow Vancouver Christian author Matt Mikalatos has a new contract for a two book deal. 

If you were to meet Matt you would find him instantly warm and friendly. As you get to know him you'd find he is quick and witty, funny and even a bit strange. And I mean that in a good way.

Another way to get to know him is through his books. His former titles (which I have read and enjoyed thoroughly) include:

My Imaginary Jesus which is a book almost too weird to describe. Matt is in his own story, but it's not memoir or biography--it's sort of fantasy/si-fi. Hard to place. It's definitely theological and may mess with your thinking. Maybe even your heart.

The book takes place in Portland, Ore. Matt has "a Jesus" in his life that he finds quite comfortable until Peter comes in and pops the god across the jaw. Jesus takes off and Matt meets several others on the path to find the true Jesus. Got that? Very funny and very profound.

 Night of the Living Dead Christian is also very different. This one takes place mostly in Vancouver and there are vampires, werewolves and zombies, not to mention a mad scientist. Each of these "monsters" represent a sub-group of Christian culture. The book is a wild adventure full of humor and profound insight. How could learning be so fun?

Matt has also written a middle-reader fantasy, The Sword of Six Worlds, which I have not yet read. I am looking forward to reading it when I get the chance.

Matt is a great writer, he's got a wicked sense of humor, a deep thinking mind, and he's a great guy. If you haven't read any of his work, now is the time.

Congrats on the new contract Matt! It was great seeing you at the conference last weekend and the stuff you shared was great. I'm looking forward to more from your twisted mind.
