Acknowledgements

I would like to thank all of those that have showed love and support for my work, not only as an author and poet but as a person growing to be someone greater than I was expected to be. God knows it takes a lot of work to overcome a stigma of evil.

To my Office Technology family, I give much praise because I didn’t even know what a computer was but now I am on course to own my own technology company. Plus now I can typeset my work. Thanks for the chance to have a chance for greatness.

Thanks to my mother, Desiree Craig. You are still in my corner, standing as that beacon light guiding me home. Love you always.

Much love to my whole family. You all are my strength.
