Acknowledgements
Throughout the course of writing A Harem Boy’s – IV – Turpitude, these past sixteen months, I am forever indebted to my tenacious editor, Ms. Ellen Fishbein. With her move from New York to Texas, a new career change and a busy schedule ahead, she kept her pledge of unwavering assistance to complete this fourth volume of my protracted memoir.
My writing skills improved by leaps and bounds under this beautiful woman’s tutelage. For this I am grateful and thankful for her help. Ms. Fishbein, I sincerely hope we will have the opportunity to work together again.
I wish her the very best in all her endeavors. She will be greatly missed by moi.
Another wonderful lady I would like to thank is Ms. Emerantia Antonia Parnell-Gilbert, my Literary Agent from Gilbert Literary Agency. Besides providing me with valuable advice and securing Solstice Publishing to publish A Harem Boy’s Saga series, Ms. Parnell-Gilbert has also procured a Film Option Agreement for A Harem Boy’s Saga with a UK Film production company.
I am excited to see this memoir series adapted for the screen in the form of feature films and/or a TV miniseries. Emerantia’s unfaltering support and faith in my writing gave me the incentive to continue on this long and winding road to complete my series.
I also thank Ms. Melissa Miller of Solstice Publishing for her credence in my memoirs and to Ms. KateMarie Collins (my Solstice Publishing Editor-in-Chief) for devoting time to format and upload A Harem Boy’s Saga for international distribution.
I am deeply grateful to Ms. Fiona Jayde of Fiona Jayde Media for her exquisite and mesmerizing book cover designs. Working with this talented designer was a breeze. Her instinctive mind captured my ideas with ease and grace, and she created cover images for A Harem Boy’s Saga that readers and I fell in love with instantly.
I cannot forget my dear friend Mr. Robert DeNigris, who took time from his busy schedule to proofread Turpitude’s manuscript. Mahalo, Bob! You are a gem.
At this juncture, I would like to say a big “Thank You” to all my friends and supporters who have continued to champion my revelations from the beginning, before Initiation, Unbridled, Debauchery and Turpitude came to fruition.
Last but not least, I am deeply appreciative of both my life partner, Mr. Walter Jay Bissett, and my ex-Valet, mentor, guardian and lover, Mr. Andrew A. Finckenstein, for their resolute support, contribution and encouragement to tell my story truthfully.
In Walter Jay Bissett words:
“The truth will set you free.”
And in Andrew A. Finckenstein’s:
“Dwell not in the past,
dream not of the future,
but concentrate on the present.”
