Once again, to the sexually liberated and open-minded: Thanks for supportin’ my books and for continuing to embrace the sexual revolution with me, responsibly and respectfully. Raise ya freak flags and let ’em fly high!
To my publicist, Yona Deshommes at Simon & Schuster: Thanks for continuously doing what you do best. Keep crackin’ that whip and bein’ ya boy’s gatekeeper (smile)!
To the readers and fans (new and old), who continue to support my work, spread the word, and email me your comments and thoughts: Thank you, thank you, thank you! On some real ish, I ’preciate YOU and the luv!
A special shout-out to all of my Facebook Beauties and Cuties who hit me up behind the scenes, post on my wall, and/or poke me (even though I don’t poke ya back, LOL), wanting more of the Cairo juice: Thanks for ridin’ this wave with me!
To all my peeps who come thru and chill wit’ me in chat every Tuesday night on Planetzane.org: Thanks for keepin’ chat hot and for allowin’ me to finally stay on topic. I enjoy the vibe!
To everyone who continues to visit my website and blog (and who keep returning for more of the Cairo juice): From China, Russia and Singapore to Italy, Greece and Egypt—and all over the U.S., the monthly stats are still lookin’ real crazy. Thanks! And to the members of Cairo’s World, you already know how it goes down. Thanks for keepin’ it real nasty wit’ me.
To Zane and Charmaine: Thanks for everything!
To my beautifully talented, freak-nasty partner in crime, Allison Hobbs: Whew, I love you and ya sticky drawers. Thanks, baby girl, for always having ya boy’s back.
And, last but not least, to the naysayers who still struggle with my style of writing: You inspire me to write nastier, raunchier and filthier; real talk. Yes, with more graphic, steamy sex and less story because I can. And because there’s a growing audience of readers who want it, crave it, beg for it, just how I bring it: hot, nasty, and raw. Trust me. Nothing’s gonna change. So thank you for being my motivation. But, uh, why you still readin’ it?
One luv—
Cairo
