<p>I have wanted to be a book author since I learned how to read! Thankfully, my dream was realized in 2012 when my first book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/After-Altar-Call-Relationship-ebook/dp/B0098PYR9S/ref=sr_1_1_bnp_1_kin?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1383140576&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Jacqueline+J.+Holness">&#8220;After the Altar Call: The Sisters&#8217; Guide to Developing a Personal Relationship With God&#8221; </a>was released. And now I&#8217;m working on my second book &#8211; a novel about four women (three who are single and one who is married) searching for lasting love in Atlanta, the media-proclaimed capital of the tragic single black female. It&#8217;s my love letter to single black women and the A and an ode of sorts to my single years in the A&#8230;More to come&#8230;</p>
