I'm Monica Lanee' Jones, born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I'm a Leo to the tenth power. Everything you've heard about us is true. Good and bad. But seriously, my first novel was released in May. The title is BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, which is appropriate in so many ways. I'm really excited because it's been a long time coming. This is the start of a new and improved chapter for me.I've always loved to perform. Growing up I had so many hopes and dreams. After graduating from Bishop Borgess High School, I attended Oakland University where I graduated with a BA in Communications with a concentration in Theater. Howard University was my next stop where I was pursuing my MFA in Film and studied Drama. I was following my dream of becoming a writer/actress/filmmaker. I went home for what was going to be a brief hiatus. Without warning, my father died suddenly of a heart attack. My life was changed forever.
My dreams simply faded away.I settled into a "normal" life, which is the worst thing that could happen to a person like me, because "normal" is tormenting, suffocating and boring as hell. I became a teacher, and went back to graduate school. I taught at Northern High School, Redford High School and reached the educational pinnacle teaching at CASS TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL-one of the best schools in the nation. DON'T HATE AND DON'T SLEEP!! Technicians are all over the place, and I'm proud to say that I played a part in getting some of them there. Although I had and still have mad love for my Technicians, happiness evaded me.After years of restlessness, I decided to go back to my first love, the arts. As a result, I published my first novel this year. Check out my website at WWW.MONICALJONES.COM. I consider this my second wind. The stepping stone to bigger and better things to come. I can feel my spirit growing bigger and bigger. I'm having flashbacks of dreams of old, which have become dreams renewed. I'm currently writing the sequel to my first novel entitled, AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE. It will quickly be followed by what I call my Oprah Winfrey book entitled, GIVE ME BACK MY STUFF!! Don't be surprised when you see me on the show. I always do what I say I'll do. To GOD be the glory. I'm gonna win this fight yet.
