I'm Douglas Bell, a fiction writer based in the bustling city of Houston, Texas. I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including the teachings of Buddha and the Dalai Lama, as well as the powerful storytelling of James Baldwin. Fun fact about me: I actually started my career with an engineering degree, but eventually pursued a business degree to fuel my passion for entrepreneurship and creativity. I started telling stories as a magician before launching my career as a writer. When I'm not writing, you can usually find me hitting the gym, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or staying up to date with the latest fashion trends. I also love to host friends and family for lively gatherings. My work often explores themes of social justice, and as an African American writer, I strive to bring diverse perspectives to the forefront.
