About Me


BIOGRAPHY
Renee Kohl, pen name for Willie Savage, was born near Jonesboro, Arkansas. She was one of 8 children by Rev. William Davis and Verlean Davis. She relocated to Kansas City where she received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas. Kohl later continued her education in Oklahoma by obtaining her Masters of Education degree in Creative Writing from the University of Central Oklahoma. She began her career teaching and designing curriculum for a vocational center. She eventually moved into the field of social work and has since held a position as a state specialist. She looks forward to the day she can retire and write full time.
Renee Kohl has enjoyed writing for the past five years. She has written numerous poems, a children’s short story, and two books. The first book, entitled Dore, is for the young adult audience and crosses several other genres—historical fiction, adventure, and fantasy. The second book is mainstream/contemporary and is entitled It’s Time For Your Close-Up.
Kohl currently resides in Oklahoma. Her hobbies and interests include reading, watching films, and traveling. She regularly attends writers’ conferences around the US and Canada, and she has plans to travel to Europe in the near future.
