Corlea Burnett

Corlea Burnett is an emerging writer whose lifelong love of storytelling began with weekly visits to her hometown library, where a thoughtful librarian, Mrs. Gray, always seemed to know the next book she would cherish. After a career in teaching and counseling, Burnett shifted her focus to writing full time and is actively pursuing publication.

Drawing from her experiences growing up in the American South during the 1960s, Burnett’s debut work of fiction explores the era’s cultural landscape through a contemporary lens. She is a member of the Writers League of Texas, the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, and the Wimberley Literary Salon, where she continues to develop her craft and engage with the literary community.

Burnett resides in the Texas Hill Country. When she is not writing, she enjoys spending time outdoors—often hiking mountain trails, which she considers an essential source of creative inspiration.
