Was their passion for each other strong enough to survive the wounds of war?
Horror writer Scott Wallace's husband Kristian went off to Iraq to fight, only to return, after two harrowing years, with PTSD. The strength of Scott and Kristian's marriage was tested, but neither of them gave up on the other.
Then, Kristian is deployed once again and killed by a suicide bomber.
While grieving the death of his husband, Scott meets Henrik Hilberg—Kristian's best friend since kindergarten—and the two become friends, bonding over the loss of a loved one. But while Scott deals with depression and writer's block, he finds himself turning to Henrik—first for consolation and then, more and more often, for the pleasure of his company.
After all Scott's been through, can he remain true to Kristian's memory while letting himself live—and love—in the present?
New, expanded edition which tells much more of Scott and Henrik's story.

"Brace yourself... This is one heck of a storytelling journey!" —Casey Harris, Queer Town Abbey
"All in all, My Soldier, My War is a lovely story about love, loyalty and loss. I will certainly be looking for more from this author." —GoodReads review
"This is the first book I’ve read by Mr. Filippone and it won’t be my last. Between the addictive storytelling ability this author has and his ability to bring this reader into the lives of his well-written and complex characters, he kept me enthralled with the book from start to finish." —Top2Bottom Reviews
