Meet Chanique Jones

Author Chanique J’s story began in Central Ohio where she was raised by her mother and father.  Chanique had to live a reality that a majority of young African American Children face, the reality of growing up in two separate households with two separate parents.
 
Despite the hardship of growing up without one of her parents for a short while due to incarceration and living in a city with a rapidly growing crime rate Chanique J overcame these obstacles and graduated from Eastmoor Academy high school and continued on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources the same year she had her precious son Ke-Chan. 
 
Growing up Chanique always kept a diary and loved writing little short notes or poems. Her passion for writing turned into an even greater passion for reading once she discovered a genre that grabbed her attention. As an adult she devoted an entire summer vacation to reading and then she took a shot at putting some of her writings into a book and it's been uphill ever since. 
 
To date Chanique J currently has nine books completed which include three complete series and one anthology. Her first book No Love Given is one of the completed series and a must read. Chaniques motto is "When you remain focus and determined you no longer have to dream, because your dreams become your reality...my dreams are my reality."
 
About her book
 
Nikki grew up hood rich, in Columbus, Ohio. She thought that she would live happily ever after with her, once elementary school crush, Jason. Working, hustling, and graduating college was the main focus, in addition to, being the "dope man's" wife, but when reality set in, and things didn't turn out in her favor. The happily ever after and white picket fence turned into barbwires and headaches, instead of happiness. One night of pleasure can turn into a lifetime of pain, when letting your emotions cloud your judgment. Jason is your typical young thug who came from nothing to something with the strong desire to chase money, drugs, and women. His vices began to cause a strain on the relationship that Nikki had worked so hard for. The question is will their love be enough to stand with drama and surprises that come along with his desires of the street life? Going through so much, in such a short period of time, Nikki's life does a complete 180.  When Nikki decided that lies, love, and loyalty go hand-and-hand with the street life, she makes a change that blows everyone away. They say that, once a good girl goes bad, she's gone forever. Well, let's just say that Nikki was a good girl, with a heart that turned bad. It wasn't easily broken, in the midst of it ALL!
