About Hamilton

What makes me tick!

I was born in 1960 and raised in the Midwest. I have always been a reader, finding escape in the pages of a good book. I inhaled books during my days of extensive world travel. Before the Nook and Kindle, even before laptops became the norm, I would pack six or eight paperbacks for an extended trip. I had never, ever considered writing until I contacted an author about a fabulous book of theirs. It was suggested that I should try my hand writing. Here I am! I can never thank this person enough for the joy I receive from writing.I have been married 32 years. My wife and I have two beautiful daughters, Katie and Maddie.Besides writing, I love to cook, travel and drive my classic Corvette. I have a dog and two cats.

"Even though my boys are grown, I found myself wishing they were young again so they could read NO EXIT (The Apple Grove Gang). This book is beyond refreshing - a great story about kids who still play outside, know people in their town and have an adventure that makes a difference in their lives. When the gang runs up against local politics that threaten their community center they find out how tough it is to fight city hall. Hamilton C. Burger's obvious delight in his craft shines through on every page. The kids in this book have real voices and real lives. No dungeons, dragons or wizards here, rather a book that will make both parents and young readers happy. Thank goodness there will be more in the Apple Grove Gang series."

Rebecca Forster - USA Today Best Selling Author of the acclaimed Witness Series.

A well written - and with brilliantly graphical descriptions - tale
where The Apple Grove Gang romps through the days when people cared what happened to our neighbourhood and were prepared to "stand up" against wrongdoing!
The gang's adventure's will strike a chord with many of us kids (from 6 to 60) and, with a "twist in the tail" ending this book makes me want to get to their next adventure without delay and the next....and the next....and the ones that come after that! The author Hamilton C Burger is an exponent in his craft as he draws from personal experiences and endows his characters with very real voices making this first
book in the series highly suitable for readers of all ages.
