B. Danielle Watkins, author, screen-writer, and film maker, was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. Growing up in Buffalo she was exposed to many different variations of the arts. B. Danielle’s love for literature began at a young age. She began writing at the age of 9 starting with poems and short stories. When once asked in an interview “How Did You Become a Writer?” B. Danielle stated “Well to be honest, I have been writing all of my life. I remember winning an award in 4th grade for a story I created for an assignment. I have always had a very active imagination, I guess that’s contributed to growing up in the home alone sometimes you have to play by yourself, and make it interesting. I used to write plays as a child, and then gather the neighborhood kids and practice all day, and when our parents came home from work that evening we would put chairs in the yard and perform like we were on Broadway. In 2000, at the age of 15, I got a poem published in a collection along with ton of other amazing writers.” Her first novel “No Other Man (A Three Part Tragedy)” was released August 26, 2011. Since its release it has been featured on many websites, and received exceptional reviews. With her follow-up novel released an amazing seven months later, entitled “Redeye” sealed her spot among new newest up and coming romance novelist. With the final installment “Forever Your Girl” being released one month shy of the year anniversary of the original, Watkins’ fate was sealed as a writer. In May of 2013 she was officially announced as the head of the Creative Writing Department for M.PoWeR Productions LLC, based out of Atlanta, Georgia. In October of 2014 “BlacButterflii: The Saigon Ruse Story” premiered to a sold out crowd in Atlanta, Georgia. “BlacButterflii: The Saigon Ruse Story” was the first screenplay ever written by Ms. Watkins. While “BlacButterflii: The Saigon Ruse Story” Was in pre-production Watkins tried her hand at producing, writing, and directing a religious LGBT theme film entitled “Kisses in the Wind” which will be screened at the 2015 Outreels Cincinnati Film Festival presented by the Cincinnati Film Society.
