Michael Burton was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 18th, 1985. As a child, he quickly became interested in popular Saturday morning cartoons such as Batman: The Animated Series and the X-Men. After graduating to Beavis and Butthead and professional wrestling, Michael took an interest in writing when given a challenging assignment to write a murder mystery in the eighth grade. It was then that he realized he could use his thoughts and creativity to craft stories to entertain an audience.

His debut short story, “The Adventures of Rex and Ted and The Strange Taco Tuesday,” marks his first entry into the world of young adult fiction.

“The New Star Wars!!!”

“The Adventures of Rex and Ted and The Strange Taco Tuesday” is the first book in The Adventures of Rex and Ted series. Following along with the text in the book, there will be illustrations that will allow you to keep up with Rex and Ted on their wacky adventure.

“The Adventures of Rex and Ted and The Strange Taco Tuesday” tells the story of two rambunctious, crafty ninth graders who can’t stand high school but love Taco Tuesdays.

After a costly run-in with the biggest bully of all time, varsity quarterback Detweiler, and being spurned by their lady loves, the boys sulk while entertaining themselves with video games and social media.

Later that night, the duo stumble across something very strange in the New Mexico desert that changes life as they know it.
