Michael P. Clutton has been creating stories and art since he could hold a pencil. What began with cartoons and short fiction grew into a lifelong pursuit of finding the absurd, the heartfelt, and the quietly human in every idea he touches.<br> <br>Known for his dry humor and wry take on life, Clutton blends imagination, wit, and emotional honesty across genres—from comedy and sci-fi to horror, literary fiction, and even the occasional tongue-in-cheek how-to guide. His work invites readers to laugh, think, and occasionally wince in recognition.<br> <br>He lives in Southwest Florida with his wife, where inspiration comes as easily as the humidity. When he’s not writing, he’s probably drawing, fishing, or pretending his poker face still works.
