    Your Darkness
    Author

    M.K. Hensley

    Born and raised in the south, M.K. Hensley learned how to express herself. Even if it was just on paper. She grew up surrounded by loving family and friends that supported her creative side. She was always the "quiet type" growing up. She would rather spend her time in a book and school work. That passion for reading and writing carried over into her adulthood. Still a "quiet type" she expresses herself better in writing where her words can flow freely without hesitation.

      Dedication

      Your Darkness is dedicated to William, who became my strength and my light out of the darkness. You push me every day to be a better me.

      Acknowledgements

      I have to acknowledge my pushers along the way. They were there for me and never let me give up on myself. Maria thank you for your unconditional love. Bobbie thank you for always being there in too many ways to count. I owe you both everything. Trina thank you for the late night talks and giving me a place to run away to.

      I also have to acknowledge my other family who inspire me, they get my creative side working, and never fail at making me smile. I also have to show love and give thanks to the two members who are mine for always being there for me. There are no words to say how much you all truly mean to me.

      Special thanks to Tammy for being my cheerleader and always letting me bounce ideas off of you, Tabetha for your guidance and help no matter what and with anything, and to Diana, Rhonda & Morgan for your encouragement, mentoring and guidance.

      You all have gained a special place in my heart.

      Note from me:

      I never knew writing these would help me let go and truly move forward. Had I known, I would have written
