About the author
J. Douglas Burton
16 books15 followersJ Douglas Burton is a clever pseudonym for real-life human being ‘James Douglas Burton’ who hopes you’ll never find out his real name.
Although born in the United States of America, Burton actually grew up on the bonnie shores of Scotland (and inland, as well) but moved back to the States as soon as he could afford it. Sorry Scotland.
Currently he resides in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he hopes to become a recognized author. Or even just recognized. Seriously, even his friends barely remember who he is.
He is the writer of "The Sleepwar Saga" YA novels, as well as several novellas available for the Kindle, including "The Star Travels of Dr. Jeremiah Fothering-Smythe" whose six installments are also available in collected versions both for the Kindle and in actual paperback form which you can hold in your hands and everything.
