Biography

William Ondenge;born May 25 1987 is a Kenyan freelance writer and up-coming novelist. William Ondenge was born in Kisumu City.He attended Bhayani Primary School and later joined Maranda High School for his O-levels.

As a teenager,Ondenge wanted to become a writer.After researching he concluded that a writer "always wears glasses and never combs his hair" and has a "duty and an obligation never to be understood by his own generation," amongst other things.

At 18 Ondenge's introversion and interest in writing increasingly followed a traditional path that led to his mother committing him to enter into Business Administration like his father who had passed years earlier. At his mum's wish, Ondenge enrolled in an Accounting school and abandoned his dream of becoming a writer.However,the dream seems to be still alive
