“Well damn,” Investigator Keenan Rossi muttered. “You already heard it.”

“An oldie but a goodie, pal.”

“Aren't we all. How you doin' on this gorgeous February day, gorgeous?”

Bringing the face of the handsome sheriff's detective to mind took no great effort. After several moments of imagining twinkling eyes and a dimpled grin, she said, “Not too bad. How's by you?”

Following the divorce of his parents, a 6-year-old boy goes on a journey of self-discovery as he tries to satisfy the two desires all humans have in common: to be accepted for who we are and to be truly happy.

Phil finds out that the journey we are on is a difficult one, even more so for those children who come from a broken home. Follow him as he grows up and desperately tries to make those two desires come to fruition.

Through dating different girls, Phil acquires 10 basic lessons for understanding the fairer sex. As he pieces these lessons together to form the basis of the person he wants to be, he makes a series of bad choices and soon loses his way. This leads to an ongoing internal debate, is his unique approach to sex right or wrong? The thoughts Phil has regarding these sensitive situations are totally opposite from the girls’. They understand what his “secret gift” really is…but will Phil ever know the truth? And just who will be the one who finally accepts him for who he is?

One of the reasons I run the awards is as a way to help support other authors as well as cover artists and trailer producers. However I also view is a partial alternative to traditional promotion methods. I choose to put my time into helping others rather than just helping myself but as an author I http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifstill need to raise awareness.

I just wanted to pass along this great review from Long and Short Rhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifeviews for my novel, The Gender Divide.

http://longandshortreviews.blogspot.com/2011/02/gender-divide-by-david-boultbee.html

If you are a science fiction / romance fan or know one, check out The Gender Divide or my novella Venus Inferno. Both are available for the Kindle, as well as a variety of other ebook formats.

Cheers and thanks

David
