: About Me

 Burton is a ghost  and graduate of hospice who has contributed a number of book reviews and irritated more than a few people with his writing.  To most others, however, Burton takes a kinder approach and shows people to the world as as they really are: interesting and worth knowing.

He comes from an old Southern family and as a result exhibits a quirky quality in almost everything he writes.  His favorite authors are  Carl Hiaason and A. Hyatt Verrill and, like Burton, preferred Florida as it was before all the new "improvements" were made by the money changers.

A graduate of Florida State University, Burton worked as a Chemist until he found chemicals not conducive to his health and took up organic farming under mentoring of the late Mr. Loys Johns of Union County, Florida.  Burton the author also writes under a series of names for people who like his style but hate to write.   He is  now working on a biographical novel, 'Talking with Daddy,' and an alternative medical manual for diabetics that prevent amputations.
