His work has been covered in the national press. He is based in Toronto, where he lives with his partner and their corgi. He holds Swiss, Canadian, and British citizenship. Burton is a member of the Authors Guild. His works are catalogued under ISNI 0000 0005 3018 6907 and ORCID 0009-0009-7526-9753.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The morning after Jake Fidellius is dumped, he comes home to find a cow standing in the middle of his Distillery District apartment in Toronto, Canada.There is no explanation. There is no note. There is only Bertha: placid, enormous, inexplicable, and producing the finest milk Jake has ever tasted. A British expat philosopher adrift in Toronto, Jake does the only thing he can think to do. He makes a cappuccino, photographs the cow, and posts it online.What follows is a slow unravelling and a slower healing. As Bertha turns Jake into an accidental internet sensation, a government surveillance unit hidden inside a fish and chip truck that sells no fish and chips begins quietly recording his every move. Meanwhile a Quebecois stranger named Oliver walks into a brewery, and into Jake's carefully guarded solitude, and looks at him the way a person looks at another person rather than the way a phone looks at a spectacle.The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius is a tender, strange, and quietly philosophical novel about authenticity in an age that rewards performance. It asks what we are really chasing when we reach for the warm jolt of being seen, and whether solitude and loneliness were ever the same thing at all.For readers of literary fiction that is gentle, absurd, and unafraid to sit in the quiet. A love story, of sorts. A meditation on being seen. And yes, there is a cow. After a sudden breakup, a drifting philosopher discovers an inexplicable cow in his living room, sparking a surreal journey through internet fame, government surveillance, and the delicate search for genuine human connection.
