Mattie Burton, PhD, RN, from childhood, wanted to write, to create story, to be a journalist. But fate intervened, and a fifty-year nursing career ensued. After earning an associate degree in nursing while still in her teens, she went on to pursue her writing dreams, primarily in scientific literature and evidence-based practice. In semi-retirement, the fun began! Imagination and creativity!
Her passion and indeed her ministry currently lean toward improving the lives and health of aging women. Always active in her community in the eastern KY footlhills of Appalachia, Dr. Burton leads several women’s Story Circles, frequently gives health presentations, and loves to privately coach healthy, strong, and beautiful queenagers. Her ongoing work with aging women is the source of her current writing primarily in literary and women's fiction.
