First off I want to thank God for opening my eyes to my true talent, something I have grown to love doing, writing. I am extremely grateful to have met Mikel Mittal “Comcast” who pushed me to publish this novel. Thank you for believing in my talent, and wanting to collaborate with me to make this a success. A heartily thanks you to Cathy Givens for taking on this project, and structuring the home on top of my foundation, (without you, Cathy, I do not know what we would have done). Thanks to Debby Hockley (a great friend) for bringing us Linda Roberts (our copy-editor) into this project, this has been long overdue. Thank you Hosean (the fake Skinny) for putting your two-cents in, and discovering new ways for us to promote this series. Rest in peace to my father Adolphus E. Gary “Big Wine” I love you; thank you for teaching me about life. A loving thank you goes out to my lovely grandmother Bessie A Robinson, now deceased, I love you so much. My sisters Tasha, Tawana, and Alicia I love y'all with every part of me; no matter what choices I have ever made, you’ll have stood beside me, you’ll are my backbone, and I wouldn't trade you’ll for nothing in the world. To all my friends from 18th Ave: E (I love you bro.), Big-J, Fly, Ham, Mondo, Renzoe, Bigman, Soup, Richmond, Hater (I see you on that fly G-14.), Manny-Boo (we made 66th street. I remember those nights.), Mango, the Twin's, My cousin Nay-Nay (I’m waiting on you to get home), and anyone else that I could have missed. I want to thank the whole 18th for holding me down in those mean streets. Hey Zoë, I haven’t forgotten y'all boys, y’all family too. Lebo, Cedd, Timbo, Quan, Nephew (Rest In Peace), Twin, and Charlie y'all my brothers from another mother, I love y'all. My big sis Gina, and Pop (I love y’all). Lil Pop, Baby, Big Baby, Zod, and all the rest of my nieces, and nephews that I have missed, you all are amazing. Thank you to all of my supporters, and fans of the Thuggin In Miami series, continue to help grow this movement by telling your friends, and family, I love and appreciate all of you. Enjoy this novel, enjoy this series, and live life for the purpose of obtaining what each one of us are destined for, and that is GREATNESS.
