Across the Beer Bar with PK Hrezo

Across the Beer Bar with PK Hrezo
Welcome to my beer bar PK! What can I pour for you to start? And while I pour, tell us about your name…
Thanks so much Liz! I’ll have a Guinness.  So PK is actually what I’ve been called my entire life. Stands for Paulette Kay. My dad was Paul, and he named me. My mom didn’t love the name, so nicknamed me PK and it just stuck.  As for my last name, well I married into that sucker. LOL. It’s Czech in origin and pronounced with the H silent and E soft.
And, once again, I am forced to 'splain:I only serve the actual beer we actually craft in this actual building. Guinness is made in something like a dozen buildings around the US (the kind you drink in the US. The only decent Guinness is made in Ireland.) So, I'll serve you my brewer's take on a stout, since I assume that's what you meant to say.
I am so intrigued by your blog. You have a zillion followers, always get a ton of comments on your (very good) posts.  How did you get started doing that?
Aw, thank you! That’s so nice to hear. Although blogging is a fun way to connect with others, I take it very seriously.  My readers are my friends and I treat them as such. I started 3 years ago and had no idea what I was doing, but I got in there and started visiting as many blogs as I could, actively commenting and learning what kind of content I wanted to post for my own blog. It was a slow build at first, but once I got going, I made lots of great friends. It’s very time consuming, but in a good way. Bloggers who want to be successful have to interact with their readers and if possible, return visits. 
And this amazing Time Travel book….tell us about that.        
Butterman (Time) Travel, Inc. is my debut. It’s a New adult sci-fi romance that reads much like a futuristic contemporary. I’d been wanting to write a time travel story for awhile, but wasn’t sure how to go about it. Then one day it hit me: a time travel agency. This concept was so fitting for me, since I’ve worked for an airline for 16 years. I know all the ins and outs of commercialized travel, and have worked with travel agencies first hand for years. Putting the concept together was so obvious to me. The rest was just pure fun. I had the time of my life writing this story!

Is this your first book?
I’ve written about 6 novels to date, but this is my first publication.

Oh look! An empty glass….what is next for you?
Oh man, I’m full after that Guinness. How about some water? Bo-ring, I know. But I’m a light weight. ;)
(makes note to locate authors who can drink more than one beer….)
And so what is next for you? Doing the NaNo thing? Got more books in process? Fill us in on your plans for 2014.
No NaNo for me this year, though I’ve done it in the past. 2014 will be busy. I’ve got a sequel to write for Butterman, and a special project to collaborate on. I also hope to have Butterman Travel Part 3 out by the following year, if not sooner. Dreaming big, right? But a girl’s gotta have goals. 
You have a very intriguing website: Down the Rabbit Hole. Tell us a little about that concept.
I wanted something different—fun for readers. And something that showed my personality. I’m very outside the box. A little crazy, a little weird, and super unique. They say authors need a professional website with their name as their domain, but I prefer to be different. That’s just how I roll.                                                In addition to writing, I handcraft pixie ornaments with their own personalities, so my website features that as well.
And finally, a nightcap—what’s your poison?
Ah, feeling lighter now. How about a shot of Turkey? That should warm me up. I should mention I’m not a big drinker, but I worked behind a bar for many years in my own new adult years, so I know my stuff. ;)                                             Thank you SO much for having me Liz! This was a blast! We must do this again sometime. Cheers! (makes every attempt NOT TO POUND THE BAR when I say for the zillionth time….this is a craft microbrewery NOT a "bar" ergo….there is no "Turkey" here for you.)
