Acknowledgments

It’s Monday, November 3, 2008.

First, I’d like to thank my Creator for blessing me with an honorable character. I live my life bettering myself while encouraging and helping others. In one hour, I’m heading to Obama headquarters here in Oakland to make phone calls to voters around the country. Tomorrow I’ll do the same. Perhaps I will call you.

I love my editor, Selena James. Adore my agent Claudia Menza. Am grateful for my Kensington family: Laurie Parkin, who is never too busy for me, Karen Auerbach, Adeola Saul, Jessica McLean, Steven Zacharius, and Walter Zacharius.

My Grand Central Publishing family, Karen R. Thomas, my editor, Linda A. Duggins, my publicist, and LaToya Smith, you are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for your generous support. And to my agent Andrew Stuart, thanks for taking special care of me.

In Character of a Man, I allowed Seven, Zena, Maverick, and Danté to be true to themselves, hoping you will understand that our deepest internal struggles shape the core of who we are.

Do me a favor. Select one person in your life, open up to them, share with them who you really are. Share your fears, your goals, and your dreams. At the same time, get to know the same about another individual. I mean, really get to know them.

What I learned from writing Character of a Man is, like the characters, most people, myself included, don’t have anyone who truly understands who they are. That could be because we don’t open up, or the people we open up to don’t hear us, or we simply don’t understand who we are.

My pride and joy and love smile and shine through my eyes whenever I think of my one and only twenty-two-year-old, six-foot-nine, super-handsome, intelligent, and talented son, Jesse Bernard Byrd, Jr. He’s a young man of great character. I love my son with all my heart, and that’s the same way I love myself.

I want to thank another man with upstanding character, Barack Obama, for giving me hope that Americans will become united throughout all the States. I’ve already noticed a positive change. Some of you have opened your hearts, shared your personal experiences with me, and I appreciate you. From Gary, an eighty-year-old white man who openly told me about his sex life, to my dear friends Ed Fitzpatrick (owner) and Bill Gaines (the man) @ Coliseum Lexus of Oakland (I have bought three Lexus cars and am looking at the convertible now), to the married woman @ the Blackberry Bistro who shared intimate details of her marriage. Each of you has helped me to grow.

Obviously, without my parents, there’d be no me or my wonderful son. I’m eternally grateful to Elester Noel and Joseph Henry Morrison.
