Thanks for the welcome back! I missed the boys, too. I guess that's why I started again

Thanks

The Field of Love Chapter 7 The day was mostly overcast, but the sun would peek through every few minutes. It was a little warmer than normal because of the cloud cover and mildly humid from the moisture pulled up from the Gulf Coast by a stalled area of low pressure in the mid-west. No rain was predicted for the day, yet it was a possibility. Nevertheless, to Sammy, every day he had an opportunity to play baseball, was an awesome day. The team wasn’t exactly playing a real game; it was a

Thanks Dark for your kind words. As for fiction verses reality, perhaps that could be a question for another time. It's humbling to be mentioned in the same blog with Mark and Dayne. Both are out-standing authors, who have understandably amassed a large following. I highly recommend their writings.

I remember having the crown a long long time ago. Maybe it's time again. This one is for Chris

Lisa, you might like this one. It'll be a more down to earth kinda of story where a man and boy become more like father and son even though there's no blood relationship. Where a man takes control of his own desires and makes the desires of the boy's most important. A boy not of this world, but is human nevertheless.

Thanks Richard

I've begun work on a new story, a Sci-Fi/Fantasy story. I won't begin posting until it's completed, beta read, and edited. Word of caution, it could take a while. In the mean time, I will continue to develop The Field of Love and at some point, merge it into Trials and Tribulations. I hope I don't disappoint. Billy

You can only have one Mother Patient, Kind, and True. No other friend in all the world will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, to Mother you will return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall. Of a face so full of sunshine and a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, to our dear Mother up above. Tell her how we miss her and give her all our love. We can shed tears that she is gone or we can smile because she has lived. We can close our eyes and pray that she'll come back or we can open our eyes and see all she left. Our hearts can be empty because we can't see her or we can be happy for tomorrow, because of yesterday. We can remember her only that she's gone or we can cherish her memory and let it live on. We can cry and close our minds, be empty, and turn our backs or we can do what she'd want. Smile Open our eyes Love And go on.

It was my pleasure. After or maybe even before The Field of Love is finished, I'll get back to Trials and Tribulations. Thanks for leaving an awesome review!

Your help was indispensable!

In case you missed it, Book 1 of Trials and Tribulations has concluded. I've had a lot of support and well wishes through-out my endeavor to write this story, and I thank each of you for your part in making this story possible. I do not claim to be a writer with a lot of skill or professional training, but when I write, I try to pour my feelings into each and every scene. I can only do that with the continued encouragement from all of you. I guess the main way readers can show that is through the "LIKE" and "REVIEW" options available to all members of Gay Authors. It has been those likes and reviews that helped pushed me through the hard times that life has thrown at me. Perhaps it's the hard times is what gives writers the ability to write those emotional scenes, much like a blues musician. Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for your support. Love, Billy

Thank you. It means a lot to me to hear from all of you!

As far as the mysticism is concerned, I backed off a little on that because some complained about it and I listened. In the next book I will tie that in to the new experiences our group will have to go through. Benji you have been a huge supporter and that means a lot to me. Thank you so very very much *HUGS*

Thank you so much for your kind words. *HUGS*

Thank you for your support and truly awesome review!

Even though I've from across the VA/KY boarder, I'm sure Letcher Countians wouldn't mind me inviting you back. Thanks for the awesome review!

Thank you very much. I hope my writing improved over time.

Chapter 29 The End of the Beginning If I thought the five police cars, ambulance and two fire trucks that roared onto the scene first were a lot, it was nothing compared to what came next. They were followed by three more ambulances, the coroner’s car, and three funeral home cars. Four more State Trooper cars, and the City Police Chief car arrived ten minutes later. ALL with their blue or red lights on. And that’s not counting two black SUV's and a Humvee from the Boone Corporat
