David Burton is an American writer living in sunny Southern California. He traveled by motorcycle through Mexico, US, Canada and Alaska. From motorcycles he turned to the ocean, building and sailing his own boats to Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, and through the Panama Canal to Florida. He spent a lot of time reading while on the water, so he decided to write books he would have wanted to read at sea.

Having swallowed the anchor he now mops floors and collects trash for money, writes for a living, and has become a (temporarily?) unrequited sailor.

He can be contacted at dcburtonjr@gmail.com

Windhaven 27

Hi, Welcome to Windhaven 27 and a couple story prompts for writers or the curious. This is a long post to catch up what I’ve done between surgery, school, and editing the fourth book in my Blood Justice series, Blood on the Mountain.

If you want to know what school custodians do while you’re all snuggy at home with your pet or spouse check out The Custodian Stories.

I usually write about supernatura

This is not my usual type of reading. But I won it in a Goodreads give away so thought I'd try it. I'm glad I did. I loved it. It has intrigue, mystery, romance and great worldbuilding. I was cheering for Nora the whole way.
