I was born and raised in rural Oklahoma, always a country boy, more at home in the mountains and woods than anywhere else. Mom may not have let me run wild in body, but I always ran wild in heart and spirit, and I’m proud of the little bit of Cherokee blood that runs through my veins. I was introduced to martial arts when I was ten years old and it’s been a big part of my life ever since. I claim Ninjutsu as my primary art but have dabbled in everything I could get my hands on. I grew up working the family business of construction, yet a Reality Combat course lead to me helping a local bounty hunter out on a case and it soaked into my veins and I couldn’t bleed it out. I earned my private investigators license and opened my own business specializing in fugitive recovery (bounty hunter) and personal protection (bodyguard) cases, also offering combatives, survival and fitness courses under the name Tim Dutton’s Warrior Combatives. I worked construction during the day and bounty hunted at night, with a few training courses and personal protection cases thrown in ever now and then. Yea, I didn’t sleep much. I consider the wolf my spirit guide. I have never been led astray while following the wolf. Because of this, my old school tracking skills and my nature, I earned the nickname Wolf, which I still use today. My first book was a private investigation training manual. The second was a reality weight loss book. I had stories continually running through my head, so I learned screenplay formatting and started writing screenplays. Some I sold some I didn’t. Due to family illness, I had to close shop and tend to my dad. I went into writing full time because I could do that from home and still take care of family. I turned two screenplays into novellas and decided to tackle the task of writing a full-length novel. The first was a western called Oklahoma Storm. After I discovered my passion for writing I never looked backed. I don’t have a genre, I write what I would like to read. Because I started and learned them first, my writing style is more akin to scripts than traditional books. I spent covid-19 year 2020 learning voice acting and re-honing my artwork. Now I have shifted my priorities and am focusing on kindle and audiobooks. I write, narrate and do the cover art. It's what I wish I would have done sooner. Now I can utilize all of my mediums in one business. Quotes from Tim Dutton: "I love being able to make a living as a writer, narrator and artist. They say if you do what you love you will never have to work a day in your life and I love this work. Come on. I write, pretend and draw for a living, what's not to love?" "Writing is a personal journey. Writing with a partner is an intimate sharing of that journey and sharing of personal ideas." "I don't write what's popular. I write what I like. If I don't like it, I can't expect anyone else to." "Life is hard. Anything worth while, usually is. Life will knock you you down, you have to keep getting back up. That's how you grow, One day when you stand back up, you will stand as an adult." "To be good at something, you have to make it who you are and a part of your life. If it's something you do on the side, you'll always be short on time and find excuses. If it's part of who you are, you'll find time, even if it's just a bit here and there. a bit here and there will get the job done faster than excuses." "It's really good to learn what you plan to do. learn anyway you can. Watch videos, read books, take courses and listen to others who've been there. But, never forget all the knowledge in the world will do you no good if you don't apply it. Practice what you learn. Knowledge without application = useless information. Application without knowledge = bad habits. Knowledge + application = skills."
