Vivian Barz grew up in a small Northern California town with a population of less than three thousand. Surrounded by the open space and fresh air of a farm, her imagination was allowed to run free from a young age. It was around 1988, when she was about ten years old, that she began writing mystery stories. This early start in writing set the foundation for her future career as an author.
After high school, Barz decided to pursue her passion for writing and storytelling further. She attended the University of California, Irvine, where she studied English and film. These studies likely provided her with a strong foundation in literature and visual storytelling, which she has no doubt drawn upon in her own work as a novelist.
Barz currently resides on the West Coast, where she continues to work on her writing. Her background in both English and film is evident in her work, which often features complex characters and engaging narratives. With a clear passion for storytelling and a strong foundation in the written word, Barz is a talented author who is sure to continue making an impact in the literary world.
