Our "O" Author
Offutt, Michael
Michael
Offutt is a writer of science-fiction books. Depending on when you
catch him, he may also be an aspiring writer of epic fantasy, young
adult fiction, or a daily non-sequitur. He has one brother, no pets,
and a few roots that keep his tree of life sufficiently watered.
Mr. Offutt’s mother is a four-foot tall Japanese woman and his father is a six-foot tall white man from Texas with a thick southern drawl. She loves city life and sushi. He loves small towns with run-down pick-up trucks and fried chicken.

When
he asked his mother how they got together, she happily responded that
when she was working in the United States Air Force back in the '50's,
she used her spare time as an office clerk at the Air Force Base to look
over personnel records for a husband. He remarks that peculiar
behavior like this must have been how people met each other prior to the
influence of Facebook and Twitter. It puzzles him whenever he thinks
about it, so he chooses instead to just love his stalker mother who
speaks quite fondly of the family to the fictional people that live in
the basement.
Things you may want to know about the author:
1) Mr. Offutt’s day job is working for the State of Utah. In his own words, he says, “I help people get computers for their home and school that could otherwise not afford them. I also install environmental control units, voice-activated devices, and work with computers and electronics. Generally, I fix stuff when something goes wrong with it.”
2) He enjoys writing, reading, and keeps a blog to regale scores of followers with his wit.
3) He feels like he has an unhealthy preoccupation with caffeine.

If the world were to be scientifically verified to end tomorrow, Mr.
Offutt would eat chocolate cake until he passed out. That way, he would
not have to worry about fitting into his pants again come tomorrow.
