Acknowledgments

I begin my thank-yous as I always have and always will, thanking my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. None of this would be possible without you. Thank you for this talent you’ve given me and the vision to see it through.

To my husband, Chris, and my children, thank you for loving me enough to share your time and space with this craft. Without your blessings and support, I could not write one single word. You come first in my world and everything I do is for you. I love you from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul.

To my pillars, my dad and Aunt Irene, thank you for your guidance, support, and your love.

To my family near, far, and extended, I love you all and thank you for always being in my corner, fam!

To my A1’s,*in my DMX voice* there is Sabrina, LaKesha, Chinek, Chia, about three Tam’s, Vulyncia, Gina. Diane, I met her through my girl Patrice, by way of Stacey, LaDonna, Denise, Kiana, Kisha, Jessica, and Kathy. And if I left someone out, blame my head, not my heart, and please don’t @ me, LOL! Thank you, ladies, for humbly supporting me not just as an author but as my friend.

To my brothers, Kenny, Dom, Smiz, and JC, thank y’all for holding your sis down!

To N’Tyse and the Literary Champagne Suite crew and Urban Books, as always, thank you for believing and helping me deliver on this dream. The opportunities are limitless, and I’m looking forward to every one of them.

To all the supportive interviewers, authors, and readers who have helped me along this literary journey, I appreciate every share, tweet, retweet, like, love, comment, review, and purchase. You all give me literary life! Thank you all so much.

Y’all ready for round two? Hold on because you’re about to enter Untamed Territory.
