this guy


My name is Kendra L. Saunders and I was born in the very hot landscape of east Texas to 
transplanted-Yankee parents. I spent years in the suburbs of Dallas/Fort Worth where it was too hot and 
too dangerous to play outside or explore. Instead, I learned the joy of reading books, making up stories to 
tell my parents and dreaming about exotic far off places like the rainforests of South America. By the age 
of seven I had already decided I wanted to be an author of novels. In second grade my school asked the 
students to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grew up, for Halloween. Amid ballerinas, 
astronauts, doctors and  marine biologists, I walked into school wearing my dressiest suit, carrying a 
briefcase in one hand and papers in the other. As if that wasn't weird enough, my first story assignment 
was about a woman sailing far from home. My teacher remarked I was the only student she'd seen that 
wrote about an adult.

I've stuck to that dream and that formula for all these years (though the briefcase has since disappeared).  
I carry ugly notebooks with me at all times (they should be ugly. Who wants to carry around a pretty 
notebook, when it will just be splashed upon, written in, abused, tossed around, torn and sat on?) and keep 
a running commentary on my life, times and strange mind.

Musicality and lyrics are some of my greatest creative inspirations.
