Clarica Burns has lived in Texas most of her life making her home first near the Metroplex and later in northeast Texas. She has written and published eight books including one young adult mystery. Most of her books portray the characters and small town dynamics using her experience as an unsuspected government servant who is an innate observer of small town politics. Her accountant frustrations force her to build her stories evolving around characters, real or imagined, and allowing the storyline to flow naturally until someone is killed off in the end.
