In Loving Colour (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780966005554)

Timothy Ray Phillips grew up in the Amish country of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Here he found his poetic heart and began writing poetry at the age of thirteen. The small Moravian town of Lititz was a perfect backdrop for Timothy's earliest poems. Much of his work reflects his experience and affinity for small town America. At seventeen Timothy moved south to attend college at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia. He graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting. He earned his Master's degree in Business Administration from Azusa Pacific University in California. He is both a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). Currently, he is the Chief Financial Officer for a privately-held company in Blacksburg. He jokes that he balances numbers by day and words by night. Timothy is an admitted night owl and it is in the small hours that his most creative work surfaces. In Loving Colour is Timothy's first published book of prose. He is currently finishing his second book of fiction, which he hopes to publish later this year. Timothy, his wife Debbie, and their three children (the impetus and inspiration for this book) live in beautiful Ellett Valley just east of Blacksburg. Their beached ark includes two lemon-white beagles, a Maltese, two parakeets and, at last count, twenty-three wild deer. Not to mention a treasure trove of musically-inclined birds.
