Bria Burton

Award-winning author Bria Burton lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, with her husband, son, and two wild pets. Her author motto, "Rekindle Your Wonder," stems from her desire to renew a sense of awe and wonder in her readers. She writes science fiction, fantasy, and inspirational fiction. Her short stories have appeared in over twenty anthologies and magazines. In 2022, she joined the Joy on Paper radio program as a Special Correspondent for the monthly Science Fiction BookBuzz. She has independently published two inspirational novellas: Little Angel Helper, a 2016 Royal Palm Literary Award winner, and The Running Girls. In 2019, Her Midnight Ride won the Silver Award in the published novelette category for RPLA. While she writes, her dog and cat do their best to distract her, which is why they star in her family-friendly short story collection and podcast, Lance & Ringo Tails. At St. Pete Running Company, she's a blogger and customer service manager. She's also a member of the Alvarium Experiment, a by-invitation-only consortium of outstanding authors who have collaborated on six anthologies: The Prometheus Saga Vol. 1 & 2, Return to Earth, The Masters Reimagined Vol. 1 & 2, and The Light Fantastic.
