M. H. Burton

I always wanted to be a writer but got a rather late start at age 60. The first thing I wrote was "Tales of Ramasun" based on my experiences as a US Army Security Agency intelligence gathering spook at a remote, and top secret, base called Ramasun Station in Thailand during the Vietnam War. That has been so well recieved that there will be more 'tales' in print by early 2013. Then I branched out into the detective novel genre with "Mixed Foursome: The Zach Roper Mysteries". I have always been a great fan of 'whodunnits' so I decided to take a crack at writing them....have gotten some positive feedback including a recent review from Kirkus, so I am going to keep at it. I've written many short stories, some of which have made it into print in various anthologies, but finding Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace has been a real godsend. From now on I'm going to do nothing else. I love to write, wish I had started earlier in life, but the advantage of old age is that you have lots of good material stored up. I've never had 'writer's block', can't imagine what it would be like. Fame and fortune do not interest me at this point in my life. I just want to tell stories for those who appreciate them, I don't care if they number in the dozens, hundreds or thousands.
