Introducing S. C. Burton....

Hello Everyone,

My name is S.C. Burton and I am excited to finally be having some of my work shared with others. It has been a dream of mine to be able to connect with someone through my words.

I began writing at a very young age. My school was holding a reflections contest and the theme was “Wouldn’t it be great if…” My teacher required that the entire class submit something to this contest. So, being the studious child that I was, I was determined to write the best piece and get a good grade. What seemed to be a struggle for other students was coming with ease for me. The words flowed onto the paper and soon I had a story titled, “Wouldn’t it be great if we ate dinner in the bathtub”.  Needless to say, I won first place and have been writing ever since.

My writing style has slowly developed and changed as I have grown older. The words have taken on a new meaning by becoming my way of escaping to a different world; leaving behind any struggles I encounter. I enjoy taking the experiences I have had in my life and twisting them to be something new. Often within my writing you will see a speck of who I am as a person--through the eyes of one of the characters, the setting, or what they saying.

While I began writing to get good marks in school; I continue to write in the hopes of sharing my passion for words. To show the world that words can be whatever you want them to be. Whether they are used as a place to escape from your daily pains, a way to connect with someone else, or simply a way to express how you are feeling; words are powerful.

Upcoming Releases...

I am excited to introduce the covers of my upcoming short stories. I am currently working on the edits to both of these stories, they should be released towards the end of July!

Mrs. Jepson thought her life was like every typical suburban housewife—beautiful home, happy children, and a husband who never complained. That was until her husband, Tom, needed to go to the emergency room.

Mrs. Jepson’s worry for her husband’s well-being is quickly replaced with the concern for a stranger. Who is this elderly man? And what does he teach Mrs. Jepson about life?

The screams coming from Susan Taylor’s home awaken Kim Butler from her slumber. As she begins to question her surroundings the realization of a neighborhood that was once filled with the sounds of children playing; now bares the signs of an abandoned western town.

            Why can’t Kim remember the neighbors moving or anything for that matter? As Kim tries to piece the puzzle together, will she discover what really happened to the sounds of the neighborhood? Or will become lost in her thoughts?
