March is here! Rainy as all getout today…if it were 10 degrees colder we’d have a foot of snow! Hanging out inside and getting caught up on all those little things that pile up. Plus of course, kitty cuddles.

Again this week I’m posting from one of my first books: For the Heart of Phillip. First written in 2006 and redone into it’s current format in 2010. We pick up after Phillip is teased for bolting from a bee.
Blurb: Get ready for a wild, sexy ride! Follow along 13 arduous, confusing, wonderful years of Phillip’s life as he tries to decide on his love for two men. Phillip is socially awkward, depressed, a big guy for his age, and finds making friends difficult. Luckily, he meets Andy, who is two years younger than he is. They are best friends and together all the time. On a family vacation when he’s 16, Phillip meets Robert and the two form a fledgling relationship. All is great until Phillip comes homes and finds out a secret that Andrew had hidden for years; that he wants to be Phillip’s man and to dump Robert. Hence begins a push and pull, back and forth for years to come as the two fight over the man they love, Phillip. Both men will stop at nothing to keep him. Who will win the heart of Phillip? Come along for this ride and find out!

Dani
turned around and straightened her ankle-length bright pink dress. She pursed
her matching painted lips and rolled her sky blue eyes. Her ornamental
fingernails reached for a tendril of her curly brown hair to twirl, a clear
sign she was agitated. This wasn’t the first time they’d had this argument.
Giving him a glare, she pitched her hair back into place and put her hands on
her low hips. She walked over and tilted her head up to look her son in the
eye. Dani was a petite 5’5” to her son’s towering height of 6’0”.
With
a maternal once-over of her son, Dani saw how just upset he was and understood
his emotional state. She brushed his chubby, pale cheek with her fingers.
“All
right, you get off this time, but the next time it’s a beautiful day, you are
getting some natural Vitamin D, understand? You can’t keep hiding like this.
The doctor said-”
Phillip
interrupted. “Dr. Melville said that I’m bipolar and an isolationist! How can I
fight what I am, Mom?”
Dani
scowled and pointed a painted nail at him. “Don’t cut me off like that, young
man. You’re still only 12 years old! You may be the size of a man, but you’re
far from grown. Have you been taking your Prozac?”
