As a writer, committed blogger, published author, and
artist, Michael Offutt wears many hats. But the one I treasure most is the
label friend.
I met this man – dare I say, Sweetie – last year. Since then,
he completed and published Slipstream
at Double Dragon Publishing.
In November his latest book came out, Oculus, second in the series.
Oculus
Michael Offutt
Genre: Sci-fi
Book Description:
Autumn has arrived in
New York, and Jordan Pendragon attends his first classes as a freshman at
Cornell. Born with a brilliant mathematical mind, he balances life as a
research assistant with that of a student athlete.
But Jordan also has a
quest. He must find the Black Tower, a monolithic edifice housing a thing that
defines the very structure of the universe. Jordan believes it is buried
somewhere in Antarctica under miles of prehistoric ice.
October finds Jordan
earning a starting position with the Cornell hockey team. But a dark cloud
gathers over his rookie season. Unexplained deaths, whispers of a cannibal
cult, a prophecy, and a stone known only as the Oculus, cast a shadow over his
athletic ambitions. It is the start of a terrifying journey down a path of
mystery, murder, and to a confrontation with an Evil more ancient than the
stars.

About the Author:
Michael Offutt writes

elements. His first book, "Slipstream" has received some critical
acclaim and was published by Double Dragon in the spring. The sequel,
"Oculus" came out in November 2012. He has one brother, no pets, and
a few roots that keep his tree of life sufficiently watered. By day, he works
for the State of Utah as a Technical Specialist. By night, he watches lots of
t.v., writes, draws, and sometimes dreams of chocolate.

He keeps a blog and
would appreciate a visit or two even if all you want to do is say hi.
