About the author
MICHAEL CAMPBELL
I’m Michael Campbell, a writer who believes that life is funniest when nothing goes according to plan. I love turning everyday chaos, awkward encounters, and small disasters into stories that make people laugh, cringe, and nod in recognition. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me exploring coffee shops, people-watching, and collecting inspiration from the wonderfully messy world around me.View all by MICHAEL CAMPBELL
