Vivian M. Kelly was born in a small town in Mississippi. She attended a private historically black college, Tougaloo. After college she joined the United States Navy and traveled abroad. After her tour of duty, she returned to Mississippi to make it her home. Her love of reading and writing began her career at an early age. Though this is her first published work, it one of many she has written. Authors such as Nikki Giovanni, E. Lynn Harris, Langston Hughes, Shakespeare, Dostoevsky and Maya Angelou helped to carve indelible imprints on her soul.

Her Novel “When Love Aint Enough”, (GNE Books, 16.95) is the first in a series of books that explore love, relationships and family. This vivaciously, hot new novel takes a realistic look at the things people do to find love and keep love. The novel, "When Love Aint Enough" was released with a burst of fanfare at Lemuria Books in Jackson, MS on March 4, 2006. The premiere was an utter sellout. The book sold out in the first hour of its release. Books are now being reserved at vivianmkelly.com and lemuriabooks.com.
