Arial Burnz
Arial Burnz (pen name) is a USA Today bestselling author of paranormal romance and a screenwriter. She has ties to the movie and TV industry rooted in her childhood since her father - Glenn Leigh Marshall - was a screenwriter, actor and stunt double. As such, she grew up on movie sets and studio lots until her early teens. After graduating high school, she joined the US Air Force in 1987 and served in the first Gulf War during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, with tours of duty taking her to Tucson, Turkey, Norway, Germany, and England. Once she received an honorable discharge in 1991, she began writing, but moved to Los Angeles in 1996, where she pursued a career in acting and quickly discovered she'd much rather go back to her writing roots. She published her first novel "Midnight Conquest" in 2010, the first in her Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles . A dozen novels later, she discovered a love for writing screenplays, and focuses on paranormal and fantasy feature film and TV dramas and dramedies. Arial lives in Southern California with her husband and faithful Lab-mix fur baby.
