Playing All the Odds

God’s timing is always perfect and he has chosen this time to allow me to reach inside myself and share another work to this literary arena. What a tremendous blessing. I’m not at all worthy, but I am so very thankful. All honor and praise is due the Almighty God for bringing out the best in me, even when I come up empty he continues to pour into my reservoir. Special appreciation and love to the man that stands by my side and who encourages me when I need it the most. You are my forever love and the man God created just for me. What a perfect soulmate you are. To my first born, Chanel who gave this novel a face. Thanks for coming up with the ideal cover at the last minute. Looks like my investment is paying off. You are my jewel, always know that. To Gee who reminds me to balance all that’s on my plate of life and who encourages me to live life to the fullest, you are my anchor and always remember who you are and whose you are. Admiration to my parents, sisters, brother and the rest of my extended family for the roots from which I grow and the love we share that sustains me daily. Thanks to my sister-girlfriend Lisa Johnson who has been a constant. You remind me to soar above daily trials, sickness and when I think I can’t go on, you stand in the gap and you remind me that I can. Where would I be without my agent, Maxine Thompson? She has pushed me beyond and cheered me on when I was close to the finish line. An abundant thanks is due you for helping my works come to life. Much love to my Urban family for all you do and for allowing me to be a part of the posse. To those who have become a fan and who have followed me during my journey and to those who are new to my works, please know that I write because of you and I’m constantly humbled to be doing what I do.
