Читать книгу Two The Hard Way - Travis Hunter - Страница 5

Working with young adults has been my calling for the last ten years. As I traveled the country touring with my adult novels, I made it a point to always stop by a high school, youth center, or library where I could speak with teenagers about how important it is to make good choices. As I made those stops, parents would always come up to me and ask if I had anything their teenager could read. Although my adult novels are not as over the top as some of the things that are out there, I never felt comfortable suggesting something that I wrote for adults. However, I couldn’t think of any other novel to suggest, so I wrote my own.

I would like to thank God for all of His blessings; my son, Rashaad Hunter, for being the best kid in the entire world; Linda Hunter, for being the best mother a guy could ask for; Dr. Carolyn Rogers, for always encouraging me to reach for the stars; Carrie Moses, Sharon Capers, Andrea and David Gilmore, Lynette Moses, James (Ray Ray) Moses, Amado and Hunter Rogers, Barry Moses, Ron Gregg, Ahmed, Ayinde, Shani, Jabade and Louis Johnson, Mary and Willard Jones, Monica (Imani) McCullough, and all of the wonderful book clubs who read my novels; my agent, Sara Camilli, and my editor, Selena James, for making this happen; and Melody Guy, for getting this started.
