First, I would like to thank my Heavenly Father, who art in heaven. Without Him, I wouldn’t exist and none of this would be possible. Thank you, Jesus, for blessing me with a talent to share with the world.
I would like to thank my very good friend & literary partner, my WriteOrDieChick Author MiMi Renée. You kept me level-headed and always believed in my dream. Sometimes, when I doubted myself, you were there to push me to thrive on. I love you, boo.
Author TLW: Man, what can I say? I watched you from the moment we met, and I knew you were going to be trouble. LOL. I thank you, Terry, for also believing in me.
I’d also like to thank my WCAM team.
K’wan, all those jewels you drop means a lot, and, even if no one else took notice, I was with a paper & pen. I also want to say thank you for taking your time to read my manuscript. J
Erick Gray, my literary best friend, thank you for countless phone conversations & IM chats. I just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to bug you.
Author Queen: What’s up, home girl?
I also wanted to thank my publisher, 21st Urban Editing & Publishing. Thank you.
Special thanks to the Temptress Pre’cise for helping my first piece get put on. Noiré for allowing my short, short erotic letter to be published in your online magazine, as well as King Dhakir.
There are too many to name, but I would like to say thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart.
Special shout out to my Big Bro TheBookPusha aka Bigg Whoadi.
I want to thank my mom LaWanda Moloy & father Charles Valson. I thank you for birthing a beautiful woman and creating a masterpiece. I love y’all dearly. My step-fathers, thank you for being here. The rest of my family, James, Moloys,Whites, Tillmans, Turners, Alexanders and Carpenters: I love you all.
To my friends that believed in my dream: I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Last but not least, I would like to thank those non-believers. Haters is what they call them, but I would like to think of them as admirers from afar. It’s because of you I’m able to shine. Love y’all, too. LOL.
Thank you to all the readers who have supported me: I see y’all.
My book is dedicated to my family who are no longer with us. I did this for you… Kareem KB Breedlove, Tanequa Nookie Williams-Glaspie, Karen Baptise. May your souls Rest In Heavenly Peace.
To my beautiful godchildren: I love you all.
Writing brings me the serenity; my pen brings me the energy.
