I must start by acknowledging God for first giving me a level of talent and then allowing me to share it with you.
Whenever I speak publicly, I always introduce you as My Heart and My Soul. To my daughter Anna Janay McCann and son Timmothy B. (Jake) McCann II, my love for you is ForAlways.
To my mother Annie Mae McCann, thank you for teaching me the true meaning of faith. In more ways than one if there were no you, there would be no me.
Thank you to all of the book clubs nationwide and in particular Circle of Friends II in Atlanta and Juliet Harrison, as well as Minds In Motion Book Club in Columbus, Ohio, and its founder, Dorothy Malone Daniel. I also would like to take a moment to mention the numerous bookstores who welcomed me on my first tour. Most notably Felicia A. Wintons and Books for Thought, Inc., in Tampa and Shondoalon and RaMin of RaMin Books in New Bruswick, New Jersey.
It is said that no man is an island unto himself, so with that in mind I would like to thank three special women. Victoria Sanders for putting it together, Cynthia Johnson in Dallas for the encouragement, and Jennifer Sawyer Fisher in New York City for the focus. I would also like to thank the women readers across the country who said, “Tim . . . you have something here,” even when the words were raw. You can never ever know how much that meant to me then and now.
Thank you to the thousands who hit our web page at www.DLastRomeo.com. I appreciate the sharing of your thoughts and you give Phillippians 1:3 a new meaning.
Last, but not least, to my family and fellow writers. Euripides said, “Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.” I am honored to consider you a friend and now I trust you will enjoy the ride . . . Until . . .
