I can’t resist a quick share of reader response via amazon.com to The Shark, the first of my The Forgotten Files novels. “Outstanding!! . . . Mary Burton’s books are so full of suspense they are hard to put down.”
(Yvonne)
“Will keep you on your toes from the first page to the last. The end . . . was a real shock.”
(Joan J)
“Didn’t want to put this book down. A love story but with mystery, intrigue and more.”
(Diane P)
THANK YOU to all who have shared your response to my books on Amazon, Goodreads, among friends and elsewhere. I always appreciate the support and the outreach to other readers. The Dollmaker is next in The Forgotten Files and is out on November 15.

Early reader copies of THE DOLLMAKER have arrived! I’m delighted to have the book in my hands and to know it’s only a few months until I hear what readers think of forensic pathologist Tessa McGowan, Virginia State Police Agent Dakota Sharp, Shield computer expert Garrett Andrews and newcomer Jacob McLean, and the (I think) frightening killer they’re desperate to stop.
The Dollmaker goes on sale 11/15/16.

I had a great time at the Virginia Festival of the Book held in Charlottesville, Virginia March 20-24. I was there for an action packed Saturday that began with a reception sponsored by the Virginia Romance Writers. Then it was off to the Crime Wave Brunch featuring writer C.J. Box.

I’m pictured here with writer Mary Jo Putney before she spoke on the Romance Panel “Hoydens & Harridans: Independent Women in History.”

My first panel was on the Crime Wave tract and entitled “Messing with the Mind, Body and Soul.” Pictured here are writers(l-r) Kathleen Toomey Jabs, George Davis, Evetta Lamka (moderator), Elizabeth L. Young and Mary Burton

“The Seventh Victim” was featured at the event’s Book Fair.

In the afternoon I sat on the Romance Panel :Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang!” Pictured here from left to right are writers Liz Everly, Joshilyn Jackson, Joyce Lamb, Mary Burton and Lydia Netzer (moderator).

I hit to the road this past weekend and headed south first to Greenville, S.C. where I signed at Fiction-Addiction. What a great store! It was so much fun meeting readers and signing books.


Three hours south of Greenville, S.C. is Woodstock, GA home to the FoxTale Book Shoppe. I had the pleasure of speaking to readers about my writing, chatting and signing books on Saturday March 9.
After my signing it was right back to Virginia.
