I wrote The Next Quiet Voice after the shocking news of Prince's death broke. Prince was my idol. He flew me to Minneapolis in 1990 and said I wrote like he used to. The morning of April 21, 2016, I was brought to my knees, and that pivotal day kick-started memories I’d held inside for years. Underneath all the pain from losing a record deal to Tupac, to losing my father to cancer, something brewed deep within. I needed to face my demons. My whole life I had put pen to paper to express my emotions through poetry and song, and during my sobriety, my sponsor had taught me to write when I was disturbed, angry, or resentful. So I did what I knew—I started to write. Thirteen days later, when I finally came up for air, I realized my solution to the pain had turned into a book.
This book is dedicated to all who struggle not only with addiction but just life itself. I pray you stay and find what I have found, a quiet mind and a peaceful heart.
