THE BASICS - Kenda Bell is a self-described cultural sociologist who loves to dictate the unspoken words of the heart for the masses, with creativity along with a large helping of sass. She is a member of the Baltimore Urban League and is active in various community-based activities for women and children. She is currently working on her sequel to For Every Love There Is A Reason as well as a non-fiction version of For Every Love There Is a Reason.

She has been published in Baltimore Magazine and Honey Magazine. Currently an online columnist at www.mahoganybutterfly.com, she resides in Maryland with her king in training, Keegan.

THE REAL DEAL - My love for writing came from my desire to speak. Having been a stutterer since age five, I have always had to concentrate on the way my words would be formed and dialogue. Being an extrovert, it was torture. Imagine having words eloquently weave together in your head to only have them fall clumsily from your lips. But do not weep for me ; had I not embraced my most obvious flaw , I may not have shared my gift with you.

WRITING INFLUENCES - First and far most everyday people, the world is vast a landscape filled with so many people, with so many things to say who have few opportunities to be heard. The most seemingly ordinary person can share the most extraordinary story that leads to a revelation about oneself. I strive to convey the thoughts and emotions that are familiar and tangible with realistic drama. Everybody has drama, there is nothing new under the sun, how each of us deals with it is what makes it intriguing.
