Milton Burton was born in Jacksonville, Cherokee County, Texas, on July 23, 1947, a descendent of a long line of Southerners who were yoeman farmers, teachers and small shopkeepers.
Over the years since college he has taught, been a cattleman, and served as a legislative aid for the Texas House of Representatives where he ran a district office for Bill Hollowell of Grand Saline, who at that time was the senior member of the House. At book signings he’s always asked who his favorite writers are, and he must admit that he do not read much crime literature, largely because he doesn’t want to be influenced by anybody.
