Marquise T. Watson was born in Newark, NJ and attends Union County College where he is earning a degree in Business. After becoming an Insurance Producer he realized his drive for creating art hadn’t gone away that he had as a child. It was time he created the book he had always set out to create. After growing up in the urban communities of East Orange and Newark, Marquise wanted to create a novel that entertained while uplifted his community. He knows what it’s like to live in what most consider the hood and to have that hope for a better life. So while he observed a lot of his people going the wrong route and falling into the vicious cycle he wanted to create a book that would encourage people to change their lives and do better for themselves and their families. The purpose of Break The Cycle? The book attempts to provoke a sense of urgency and open up the eyes of the youth in the urban community and the adults who take care of them. While the book has an entertaining approach it also examines the strengths and weaknesses of the urban community while giving plenty examples of what will happen and what could happen if you make certain decisions. Break The Cycle is a perfect example of the reality that the future is in our hands and nothing is standing in the way of our success but the decisions we make during the journey. In the book, Twenty-two year old Amari Crews needs to sell more than bras and pajamas to take his family out of the hood. While an assistant manager for Victoria's Secret, Amari dreams of independence, entrepreneurship, and wealth. However, rather than working towards the achievement of his dream, Amari buries himself in panties. If he isn't selling them to a customer he is charming them off a young lady. Complacency threaten to stifle Amari's ambitions and introduce unfortunate complications into his five year relationship with Lauren, the long-suffering love of his life. As reckless street trash claim their victims.
