    Chapter 2

    Robert Rex commented on craftingmom's story chapter in Chapter 2

    Absolutely, terrifyingly chilling chapter. Abuse so constantly consistent it becomes the norm--and only dim memory of life without it. Constantly uselessly hoping against hope for distractions to the abuser to get relief. Constant pressure for perfection--since imperfection of any sort is cause for punishment. And the constant horror of seemingly no way out. I'm waiting for our hero to emerge; it can't come soon enough. What great writing for such a dark life's brilliant insights!

    I LOVED that the boys were so determined to see their dad that they faked out the Assistant Director of the FBI! Now THAT'S commitment! And their acceptance of Dave, even though they don't necessarily understand what's going on is pretty remarkable, too.Glad you're enjoying the story, and glad you're here for the ride!

    Damn! What a great start to a new story! Great plot, interesting characters already, gripping story line--can't wait for the next chapter! Fine writing here!

    Glad ya liked it, Gary! I've been impressed with Barry from the start--he's not afraid to just dive in and attack any subject out there. And, think is honesty also affected his boys' responses. Had he even partially lied, they'd have picked up on it...and it'd have hurt there relationship. (Plus, if he lied, what would that have done to his and Dave's relationship (such as it is)? Glad you're enjoying the story..and thanks for the comments!

    Definately a hot chapter! And yet, despite the interruptions by Rob or Jasper, the character development goes forward, and lots of potential story options are there. Fine writing here!

    You'll hafta keep reading... Appreciate your comments, and your following along!

    Yup, the Dallas guy was a close encounter--but with all the media attention on the case, understandable that he'd be recognized. He's definately gonna hafta take care!And the story with his sons....well, yes, it's gonna be interesting to see how that plays out whether with or without Dave. Thanks for the comments! Appreciate your following the story!

    Thanks, Carlos--from an accomplished writer like you, those are words of high praise!Yup, get ready....the courthouse will prove to be an interesting place. Thanks again for the review and kind words!

    Thanks for the kind words!Yup, the storyline is speeding up--after all, landfall (and the storm's strength) is increasing! For me, the most appealing thing is Cory's reaction: "I don't understand, but want you happy". I don't know that anyone could hope for a better response to such a sudden development! Keep reading...more ahead. Thanks for the review!

    Thanks for the kind words!There's a lot going on--after all, this IS a complex situation--but the storm is coming.....hang in there with me as I report it. I appreciate the review!

    What a fun story! I'm enjoying the character development--and love "Ms. Vivian". Don't know where you're from, but every southerner knows one of these steel magnolias--charmingly direct and kind on the outside, tough as nails inside. Looking forward to the next chapters!

    Memorial Day Monday. Gonna be a busy day. Dave reviewed the plans for the day over breakfast by the pool. We'll check out of the B&B at 3, head to the local airport, fly back to Dallas, get into lodging there, and prepare to stay the estimated month or so for the trial. Dave also reminded Greg, Jonathan, and me to be on full alert for anything off-kilter during the day or as we travel. Think the incident yesterday of the guy wanting to do a Facebook selfie with me is making everyone just a

    Kinky bastard! Knew you were a Velcro kind of guy! Think you're gonna like the way this story goes.....

    Glad you're enjoying "Joe"! It's a totally different type of story than "Landfall", but it helps ya understand Joe and Rex--who'll be in Landfall shortly!Glad you're getting into it!

    The beginning

    Robert Rex commented on LieLocks's story chapter in The beginning

    Lots of options here for plot twists and turns....your characters are complex and interesting. And the background story, when filled in, is gonna be great! Looking forward to the next chapter. You did well here!

    Love this chapter, especially since it struck a personal chord with me--my 2nd lover was a psychologist, and we had the same "don't analyze me!" discussion when we first got together! Totally rings true! Can't wait for the GSA meeting! Good job!
  19. Robert Rex
    There's more steam ahead! But there's also love and romance, too. Thanks for the comments.

    Chapter 1

    Robert Rex commented on Robert Rex's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Glad you're enjoying the story! I wrote "Joe" starting in May, 2014, finished it in July, 2014. Took a couple of months off, and then started "Landfall" in maybe October, 2014. Glad the writing has improved--think that's because of the great folks here who reviewd, and commented on "Joe" and it's pacing. The other difference is in the stories themselves: Joe is a primal story of guys who, at least initially, explore themselves and their relationship via sex; "Landfall" is a far more nuanced story. Thanks for the great review! Thanks for the kind words

    Glad you're here, Mater.....no other place like it! From the wide variety of genres, to friendly folks, you'll love it here! Welcome!
  22. Robert Rex
    So very glad you're reading (and apparently, enjoying!) the story! Loving your comments.Dave and Barry are interesting characters. And must admit that I'm impressed by Dave and his willingness to be totally pro and leave his personal feelings aside as much as possible. Will there be a relationship? Can't be sure at this point--there's just too much up in the air! Thanks for the kind words--and hang in there....a new chapter will be out this week. And be aware, you haven't seen the storm's full strength yet--Landfall is coming! I appreciate your reviews!
  23. Robert Rex
    Glad it got to ya, Cole! I'm hoping the sense of surprise and wonder that Barry had--and the emotions he experienced--came through. Even those he's certainly experienced, this is still somewhat unexplored territory.Get some ice water, keep reading--confident that there's more ahead as the relationship grows! Thanks for the kind review!
  24. Robert Rex
    Charlie, you've got an inquiring mind--and that's great! Yeah, I selected that name, and so far, you're the only one that's commented on it.Glad you're enjoying the story--my goal is to tell a believable--and interesting--story that rings true. Thanks for the review!
  25. Robert Rex
    No tease here--I'm just reporting the developments as they occur! Besides, you're loving it! Thanks for the review!
