Black Writers on Tour welcomes talented Christian novelist
Talented Christian writer and author Kendra Norman Bellamy will attend the 2nd annual Black Writers on Tour February 3-4 at Tennessee State University.  Norman-Bellamy has taken the writing community by storm with works like a love so Strong, For love and grace, Crossing Jhordans River and other fabulous works. With multi-book deals with both Moody Publishers and BET Books, Kendra describes herself in a single word: "Blessed".
"My books are characterized as romance novels and I guess they are," Kendra says. "I have no qualms with that label and sometimes use it myself. However, my main focus is to write stories about people who just happen to be Christians and are dealing with very real situations that threaten their relationships with the people that they love. I want my stories to demonstrate how having faith in God can make all the difference in the world in the way any problem is resolved. Romance is my favorite genre and I think that shows in my writing."
With a God-given talent for the pen, Kendra is now pursuing a career in writing faith-based novels that tell stories of drama, intrigue and passion in the Christian community.
