About the Author
    Clarissa Burton has been crafting poetry and short stories since the age of eight. Her work has appeared in the Charleston Post-Courier, The Kansas City Star, Flourish Magazine, and Kansas City Small Business Monthly. She also publishes essays and commentaries across several online platforms and is the founder of the Queen of the Pen Books® website.
