Meet Author Gregg Burton

A man who writes romantic and suspenseful thrillers is almost an anomaly within the literary world. That makes Gregg Burton a one of a kind talent in the independent book circles. However, Burton’s creativity doesn’t stop there. In fact, there is nothing routine about this man of sensuous thrilling fiction.

 Humble Origins

Gregg Burton is a Brooklynite who hails from the infamous town of Waco, Texas. He came by the military experience showcased in his book, What Happens Overseas Stays Overseas honestly. Those four years overseas gave Burton an insider’s eye to a world that few people know or even understand. Upon leaving that world, the newly discharged Burton was ready for something new.

His second foray into the literary world is titled Fool's Eye. This suspenseful work which many have said marks his unquestionable writing talent and diverse writing style, makes Burton a hidden talent in the independent literary world. Fool's Eye, takes its readers on a breathtaking adventure of the conning game in   New York City.

Not your Average Author’s Beginnings

It was purely by coincidence, and maybe a little boredom, that Burton stumbled upon his unique talent. While working with a group of women, lovers of mainstream erotic and suspenseful fiction, Burton picked up his first piece of literature. Instead of blushing, thrusting the novel aside, this future author studied its content, intrigued by the content he hadn’t known existed.

This was the beginning of an author’s career and eventually, a new movement in the intellectually adventurous audience of literary fiction. And to think, the whole thing was set in motion by these few words that Burton uttered after reading that novel—“Hey, I think I can write a story better than that!”

Making the Novels Happen

 That first product was a short story that friends and family analyzed and raved about. Burton moved on to poetry and a full-length novel What Happens Overseas Stays Overseas that was published in 2010. It draws on Burton’s naval experience, but is not written from a male perspective.

"Many people have the misconception that Military people are robotic or just hard-core individuals. When the reality is, they are just like you and me." Gregg Burton

In Fool's Eye, Author Gregg Burton wraps a con within a con, with multiple marks and schemes. The twists and turns, cons and marks that make up Fool's Eye will keep the reader on edge from page one until the con game's end. Along the way, Fool's Eye dares readers to try and separate the con from the real story of Linda, Malik and the rest of the crew.
