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.
