In 2001 I met a wonderful man whose friends and family called him Wink. I met Wink while he lay dying in the hospital. He was an interesting man who greeted everyone with a smile and his famous line, “Hello, earth angel.”
These are my earth angels: my mother, Maless Moses; my siblings, Barbara, Daniel, Johnny, Scarlett, Larry, Leon, Loraine, Gayle, and Jackie; Eric Goins; April Russell; Ray Johnson; Deborah Rogers; Rebecca Franklin; Judge Myra Dixon; Kim, Elliott, Trey, and Eric Abnatha; Marie, Ronald, Ron Jr., and Katie Showers; Sonia Sanchez; Morgan Freeman; Shelia Frazier; Barbara Austin; Paul Benjamin; Melvin Van Peebles; Nick LaTour; Dick and Lillian Gregory; my editor and friend, Emma Dryden, and all the wonderful people at Simon and Schuster; my agents at Mcintosh and Otis and my former agent, Tracey Adams; and my lawyer and gatekeeper, Darryl Miller.
I love you all….
