    B.C. Burks

    I’m an avid reader and lover of good books who is honored to debut my first short story, “The Twain Shall Meet”. As an author, screenplay writer, and producer who hails from New Jersey, I'm working on my first short film and would love to try my hand at producing documentaries soon. This is just the beginning of many exciting works to come in a variation of genres. I’m looking forward to you joining me on this imaginative journey.
