Clyde Landon was raised in the post-Great Depression era and learned early in life about hard work, making his own entertainment, and “making do.”

Life allowed him to use his common sense skills as a “Jack of all Trades,” which earned him the nickname Clever Clyde.

He worked as a business broker in the Salt Lake and Ogden areas and later as a district manager for the Standard Examiner, a local newspaper in Ogden, Utah, from which he retired at age eighty.

Unknown to him, Clyde had untapped writing skills that came forth after he experienced a dream from his deceased brother, who asked Clyde if he had finished the book about their childhood friend, a dog named Guck. Two weeks later, Clyde settled into his recliner, began his new and exciting adventure into the world of writing, and fell in love with it.

At age 75, he completed his first book, “His Name is Guck,” a story of a boy and his dog, and later, the prequel called “Ancient Warrior,” a protector of life.

At age 90, he looks forward to writing the sequel to The Ancient Warrior.
