About Theophilus Monroe
Theophilus Monroe is a fantasy author with a knack for real-life characters whose supernatural experiences speak to the pangs of ordinary life. After earning his Ph.D. in Theology, he decided that academic treatises that no one will read (beyond other academics) was a dull way to spend his life. So, he began using his background in religious studies to create new worlds and forms of magic–informed by religious myths, ancient and modern–that would intrigue readers, inspire imaginations, and speak to real-world problems in fantastical ways.
When Theo isn’t exploring one of his fantasy lands, he is probably playing with one of his three sons, or pumping iron in his home-gym, which is currently located in a 40-foot shipping container.

Blog postI wrote Algorithm in 2018. While I didn’t release it until late 2021, the entirety of the first book in the Nanoverse series was written nearly two years before anyone knew what COVID-19 was, before the vaccine/anti-vaxx debate led to imbittered divides and passionate political posturing. I’d recently helped a Ph.D. student I was tutoring formulate a dissertation on posthumanism and transhumanism—a contemporary ideology that imagined (some day) that technology would eventually supplant biolog2 months ago Read more

Titles By Theophilus Monroe
There are many who don’t want to see the elven prophecy fulfilled.
And they want me dead before I can do something radical.
Like, oh, I don’t know… save the world?
Get the complete Elven Prophecy series - all 6 books - at a great deal for a limited time to find out how one wayward preacher deals with a past that changes the whole world’s future…
---
They blackballed me a heretic.
Not like they had a choice. The only alternative was admitting they might be wrong.
Unthinkable!
I didn’t go into ministry to defend dogma.
I just wanted to spread a message of hope.
But now I don’t know what to believe.
Elves are real. I mean, seriously?
How does getting stabbed confirm to anyone I am the center of ancient prophecy?
Now it isn’t just my beliefs I have to fight. I'm against a lot more than that and they want me dead before I can fulfill a prophecy.
My whole life is in disarray. How can I be expected to save anyone, much less the world?
P.S. – Learning to communicate with your cat is not all it’s cracked up to be.
This complete series omnibus includes:
- Who Let the Dogma Out
- Old Dogma New Tricks
- Three Dogma Night
- Junkyard Dogma
- Dogma Days of Summer
- Dogma of War
You have been marked by the algorithm as a threat to national security.
You are under arrest.
Your peripheral nervous system is now under the jurisdiction of the United States Bureau of Prisons.
You have been charged with attempted terrorism and found guilty.
The judgment of the algorithm is final.
INCLUDED:
Algorithm (Book 1):Nanovax was supposed to be our salvation.
Death and disease, now obsolete.
Until the terrorist attack. Fifteen cities in a single day.
Again, they said Nanovax was the answer.
The same technology meant to heal us could now be used, through an algorithm, to track us, to predict human behaviors...
To thwart future terrorists.
I'm Lieutenant Brian Goff. I received the first injection.
It healed my wounds in the war. I became the face of Nanovax...
Then, the algorithm identified me as a threat... a terrorist...
Now, I'm on the run and fighting against the very technology that once saved my life... and if that wasn't frightening enough...
The government has my daughter.
Nanoswarm (Book 2):
The nanonetwork has been upgraded.
I can still access the nanobots...
But when I do, it leaves the host unconscious. Transferring their mind into the nanoswarm.
Dr. Archimedes Flat is expanding his nanoverse. Collecting minds to craft a new "utopia" forged from collective memory.
He believes it's the next step in human evolution.
And if a few people have to die to make it happen, well, in his mind that's nothing more than the survival of the fittest.
If I'm going to stop him, I'll have to fight him in the nanoverse itself.
But Flat designed the nanoverse. He's it's architect. The god of his digital world.
How can I possibly defeat the maker of the nanoverse from within his own creation? After all, in the nanoverse, Flat makes all the rules.
Posthuman (Book 3):
I'm losing myself in the nanoverse...
Am I even human anymore?
So many connections... so many people...
But where am I?
The resistance has been attacked.
How can I even fight back if I can't find myself?
I'll have to enter the nanonetwork myself...
If I can't set up a firewall to protect my identity...
I'll be lost forever.
Nanowar (Book 4):
The enemy has learned how to replicate in the nanoverse.
His plan remains the same.
To usher in the next chapter of human evolution. To convert all of humanity into a digital species, inhabiting a digital world.
The government has fallen.
The resistance is in turmoil.
If I'm going to save humanity I have no choice but to destroy the nanoverse.
But can I do that without also destroying myself?

My brother is taking over the family business…
It was something I’d trained for my entire life.
I was more suited for it than he was in almost every way.
Except for the most important one… the ability he’d inherited from our father.
Why wasn’t I born with the same powers?
I’m leaving the underworld. I don’t belong there anymore.
Of course, I only have one marketable skill:
Kicking ass and taking names.
How can I use that to start a new life for myself on Earth?

The Grim Reaper has been benched.
There hasn’t been a soul to reap in months.
What did my brother do that has the gods in such a tizzy?
It isn’t like people stopped dying. If the reapers aren’t ushering the souls of the deceased into the afterlife, someone else… or something else… will do the job.

Because you can't stake a heartless vampire...
Book 1: Bloody Hell
It had been almost a century and a half since I last encountered anyone from the Order of the Morning Dawn. They were religious fundamentalists with the dual goal of eliminating vampires and witches.
Being both a vampire and a witch I was the embodiment of everything the Order hates. Their first attempt to eliminate me failed. Thanks to the fact that my mentor in the Craft was also a necromancer.
When they burned my heart they didn’t kill me. They unwittingly completed a spell that tied my existence to the soul of one who took my place in hell.
Now I’m heartless, literally.
Not having a heart has some advantages. It means I’m pretty resilient, especially when it comes to wooden stakes.
So long as the soul bound to my existence remained in hell, I was virtually invincible.
But the Order figured it out. They hope to redeem the soul who was damned in my stead. If they do that, I’ll meet the true death for sure. I have to capture the one damned in my place before the Order manages to liberate him from perdition. If they free him, I will die.
I have to go to bloody hell.
Also included...
Book 2: Bloody Mad: A Vampire in an asylum? Like that's going to end well...
Book 3: Bloody Wicked: Taking on a horde of demon possessed vampires? Time to get wicked!
Book 4: Bloody Devils: We were the terrors of New Orleans. And humanity's only hope.
Book 5: Bloody Gods: I've always been the hunter... now I'm the hunted.
What are readers saying about The Legacy of a Vampire Witch?
★★★★★ It gets better with each book!! Loved Mercy in this one. She has her humanity that most vampires don’t have yet she can be crazy devil could care less persona with her new power she got. I just love her. She is so complex...High recommed if you want a different take on vampires and witches. (Amazon Reviewer)
★★★★★ I absolutely love Mercy! A witchy vampire! She is tricked into becoming an immortal vampire, and her heart ripped from her. From the 1st book I was captivated by her inner demons and her determination to be totally heartless. Yet she loves and feels compelled to rid the world of demons and evil, so not in line with what a vampire should be! She finds friends and long lost family and together they save humanity. From werewolves to witches, to demons hellbent on taking over the world, Mercy and company are a delight to follow! Well written, highly recommended. (Amazon Reviewer)
★★★★★ This awesome box set was such a thrill to read...I highly recommend this awesome box set to everyone who loves reading about witches and vampires.

Legacies are forged through sacrifice.
Book 1: Druid’s Dance (newly revised/edited edition)Elijah Wadsworth lost his parents and twin sister in what he thought was little more than a tragic accident. But five years later, when Elijah begins manifesting strange abilities--which he neither understands nor can control--he discovers his family has been at the center of a cosmic battle for centuries... and his family's death was likely no accident at all. A mysterious "girl in black" with dark, magical abilities pursues him, hoping to lure him to her cause. After coming into possession of a mystical stone, which transports Elijah into his deceased father’s ancient memories, Elijah and his closest friends must discover the source of his power together lest his newfound abilities drain his very soul, and open up our world to the blight of Samhuinn. When a girl he loves, however, is threatened he must make a choice to either save her by joining the sorceress, the "girl in black," or save the world.
Book 2: Bard’s Tale
The Tree of Life—the source of Elijah’s power—is failing. Creatures from Samhuinn are breaking through the veil and terrorizing St. Louis. As the Tree weakens, Elijah’s abilities are failing. Will Elijah be able to stop the incursions before his powers fade completely?
Book 3: Ovate’s Call
Elijah’s Ovate—Tyler—is visited by a strange, but alluring, princess from Annwn. He's immediately captivated by her--but Elijah fears the princess has ulterior motives. Is the princess who she claims to be, or is she another pawn in the Morrigan's scheme? The cosmic struggle between Elijah, his Order, and the Morrigan and her legions comes to a head in the final installment of the Gates of Eden: the Druid Legacy Trilogy.
Readers of Theophilus Monroe’s Voodoo Academy from the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series will naturally adore the Druid Legacy. Combined with Celtic mythology and Arthurian lore, this druid urban fantasy is a compelling installment in the Gates of Eden world. With magical fantasy adventure romance, a snarky male hero, and a plethora of characters taken straight from Arthurain lore and the Celtic world of myth, this time travel epic fantasy will keep readers enthralled from start to finish.
