I wonder how that information was leaked to the papers so the public can see it, that would also allow the cartel that the information they were trying to get is in the hands of the AFP. I hope that Anton, Simon, gramps, Neale and Jedd can make it safely to the catamaran to meet up with Jasper so they could be protected. This isn't a very good homecoming for Anton and Simon, they spend one night in the house and then after Anton has his tea and toast he and Simon go to the marina to meet Jasper when he sails in, only instead of that they're told to get in their vehicle and head to the police station and park in the rear of the building. When they start questioning the request both boys are put in the back seat of Anton's Ute, which Anita drives to the station, following the police vehicle. Once there they're in the building they're taken to an interview room and Anita brought both of them a cup of tea, then asks if there are any more copies of the information they gave the AFP Anton tells Anita there's another copy in his suitcase at the house and that they would need to have clothes and movies and books so that when they go to the Frontier they'll have the basics of what they need while trying to stay away from the cartel. Great chapter.

I have to agree with the comments made on this chapter as well as the two preceding, this was the worst thing that any parent has to do, to bury their own child. I went through it when my mom's mom had to bury her daughters and pay for the cremation of her son, several years before she finally gave up herself. I'm glad that Josh and the boys have such an amazing support system of friends who are considered to be a part of the family, the boys are going to be needing this support after the funeral for Brent and then seeing Josh collapse a few feet away from the grave and taken to the hospital and then everyone gets the news that Josh has had a heart attack. I'm praying for his recovery as I don't know if the boys could stand to lose him as well.

This was an unusual chapter in that Pat had his plastic surgery on his face and now Graham having the thought of talking to Josh about what he saw around Brent which the way he describes it as a black shadow around Brent and it's getting blacker by the day and appeared right after Josh gave him permission to go on the trip with his friend. Graham also told Josh that he had the same thing around him except the one around him was more gray. Josh told him that he would take all this into consideration while he would talk to Brent and his friends parents. I hope that Josh does take this serious as Graham had seen the same kind of Shadow he was seeing around Josh now was the same as the one he saw around him when he got shot. There are people who can see these types of things that Graham is seeing now and they have been able to get the spot light from them. I hope Pat does well after the surgery and that his eye sight gets better.

Great story so far. I'm glad that Pat is thinking about others and not just about himself especially when he mentioned organ donation, I am a big believer in organ donation especially when my family has had both donor and recipient. My youngest son was born with only one kidney and it was oversized and failing from the beginning because of this he has undergone numerous surgeries because of his whole urinary system having to be rebuilt. We found out that if my sister who turned out to be a perfect match for him hadn't been able to donate her kidney to my son when she did he would have been dead by the end of the year. Although Pat's situation is different from my son's I feel that every single organ that is available for the people who are in need, there are times when a person has to die in order to donate their organs such as the heart and lungs, with the family saying that it can be done. I hope that the surgery is a success for Pat and that he gain some sight back to his left eye.

Great chapter, I understand now why that box was so important. I'm glad that Anton has enough savy to get things done when they need done. I'm glad that Anton has the experience in a darkroom so he was able to enlarge the picture on the microfilm that Simon found in an envelope with the same numbers on the invoice that was found in a separate folder from the rest of the invoices. Once they figured out what was in the picture Kyle knew that they had to turn the enlargement over to a higher authority than he was just being a Senior Constable in Dunedin New Zealand, they caught a flight to Sydney and after going through customs some men tried to get to the trio. After being placed in a locked room for awhile two Australian Federal Police officers came in to question them about why they were being targeted and Kyle informed them who he was and then placed the large envelope on the table for them to examine, after looking at it they agreed that it needed to be taken to the their office as soon as possible and the trio had to go with them and weren't released until 11 pm. Anton made hotel reservations for Kyle at one hotel and him and Simon at another. Anton made flight reservations for Kyle to get back to New Zealand and them to Perth so they could spend some time with family. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I have to hand it to Mitch to not be pushed into taking the substandard apartment, especially after seeing the 3 bedroom house with the nice yard and all. I hope that when the rest of the family get there and the Brigadier gets the housing situation fixed before Mitch has to report for duty. I'm glad that Mitch and Tom hit it off so well that Tom was able to start calling Mitch uncle and now it's dad. I think the meeting with the other 3 Australian soldiers will be productive and then the Brigadier gets the whole thing fixed or they all go back to Australia and continue their obligations there.

I also noticed that the story is supposed to be about a teenager who was basically chased from his hometown because he was gay and yet he hasn't been with another guy at all and now has a wife, stepson, and a baby boy. I love your writing style and the story line is getting very interesting, I can't wait to see where it goes from here. I hope that they can get their accommodations straightened out so that the family can get back together. Great chapter.

Interesting that the security chief of the resort was involved in the mess going on with the wreck that caused Anton's stepfathers death, then the house burns down suspiciously, then Anton and his brothers mom dies in an accident with similarities to her husband's, which also injured their grandfather, then the boat yard where the yachts being repaired suddenly gets broken into and the only damage was the ransacked crew area and the missing box that had contained the files and folders that Anton had Jasper get for him and then had school books put back into it, then the security chief is caught on camera coming out of Anton and Simon's bungalow at the resort, and then while still in the managers office while he's on the phone with the police Anton spots someone going into the bungalow and he took off in order to catch the person, Simon took off right after Anton did and then Anton trips the security chief as he was coming out of the bungalow. Then Anton sits on him and Simon puts his foot on the guys rear end to help keep him down. The police show up and the officer starts asking questions and when Anton asked his name he smarts off saying that they'll be the ones asking questions there, Simon puts in a call to Anita for help dealing with the police which she gives them. Anton told her and the police there that he had a police officer coming from another country and would be there the next day. Anita told the police at the bungalow that the manager could vouch who she is and the reason is because of the fact that she and her husband were just there for their honeymoon. After the former employee of the resort was taken away Anton and Simon go in to relax, in the morning Anton sees the tea and toast waiting for him, then he spots the stack of files and folders that they went through the day before, Simon tells him that he found a shipping invoice in a folder all by itself, then when Anton retrieved the rest of the folders he finds an envelope and on the bottom of the envelope were a set of numbers Anton asks Simon what the number for the invoice and finds them the same number.

I loved this chapter. I was very surprised to see that Jasper &Anita were at the same resort Anton and Simon were at, and also to find out that they were newlyweds. I'm glad that Anton asked Jasper and Anita to get some more clothes and cash from the yacht and the files from the trucking company. I'm very happy that Edward was let down as easy as possible after him wanting to get Anton to do things with him because he thought Anton was gay or bi. I hope that Anton can get home soon so that he can show the files to his grandfather and maybe even figure out why all of the so called accidents like the one that killed his stepfather and the one where his mom was killed and gramps injured and the house in New Zealand burning down. I have a feeling that the answer is in those files and once it's found hopefully the people behind the problems will be brought to justice. I can't wait to read the next chapter as this book is nearing the end and then starting to read book two in hopes of a possible relationship between Anton and Simon starts to happen. Thank you for your work to bring us these terrific stories.

Great work. I love the two old ones, and I can really see them as children, as Devon said they're victims as well. Sorin said that the old ones were killers which is true but only because that's what they were made to do. I hope that they can find Lucian and Iilya before Halloween or there may be more vampires as well as mass panic from seeing the attacks on live TV. Those two need to be stopped before they're able to make more vampires on TV, when they capture Lucian and Iilya maybe they can get answers as to why they would do something like this just to cause panic and fear through out the world. So much suspense in one chapter and yet so much more going on besides the suspense, such as trying to get Sorin to see the group for what they are. I believe they accomplished that task even though he's still not totally convinced but he might be more understanding after seeing Dragon get the first injection of the serum again due to the fact that George wasn't able to give anymore after he got shot.

Great chapter, just short. I think it's a great story so far and I'm waiting for the wedding. I certainly hope that Carlos & Daniel have as good a wedding as Oliver and Silas did. I was hoping this would happen soon.

What a great way to end the chapter, I enjoyed reading about the honeymoon and then the romantic proposal by Liam to Will. I hope that they can stay together forever as they are true mates, I can't think of anyone else who comes close to the generosity they show everyone around them, and now with the foundation up and running their generosity will have no end. The guys seem to bring out the best in everyone they interact with, which I see as a good thing. I hope that you can get chapter 44 out soon so I can see what comes next for them.

I think Nick is proud to be staying at the Castaway Hotel, even though he's not a Castaway anymore and things are looking up between him and his parents. I'm kind of worried about Frankie as to whether or not he's actually made a change in his life since he was removed from the Currie home because of his actions toward Trey. I hope that he has changed and that he puts more effort into his own life and treats everyone else with respect that he's shown. Other great book in the series of the Castaway Hotel, I'm going onto book 4 now.

I have not once thought Anton might be gay other than when they first got to the Frontier, by this time I figured that Anton and Simon might be an item. When that's not happened by now, it may not happen at all but you never know what can happen when they can spend more time alone without the other crew around. I don't know what to make of the fact that Edward seems to be in love with Anton and it was Edward that put his hand on Anton's knee during their first meal on the yacht taking Anton and Simon to Fiji. Edward overheard Anton and Simon talking about Anton not knowing if he was straight or bi, although I believe that Edward misheard the conversation because he thinks Anton is straight and Simon is bi. I hope that they can find a way to tell Edward that he misheard the conversation. I hope that they can stay away from the media until they get back home then they can have the protection of the police. Great story so far I can't wait to read more about Anton and his crew.

Another great book, filled with the twists of life as everyone knows life isn't always perfect. I think Josh has done a wonderful job raising these boys who are starting to become gentlemen in the sense that they are growing up in a stable and loving home. I liked the fact that if one of the boys messed up that if it was a minor mistake and they were able to learn from that mistake and not make it again then he would forgive them. Such was the case of Dustin when he had the allergic reaction to extacy and wound up in the hospital for five days and then spent another few days at home before he was allowed to go back to school. I'm glad that the boys learned that going along with someone because they threatened bodily harm if they said anything about what someone else was planning, as with the party arranged by Frankie while Kevin was in the hospital for surgery to remove a testicle because it had a tumor on it which later tests proved that it was cancerous and that they had caught it in time. I hope that Josh doesn't allow Frankie to come back as I don't think he'll be able to abide by the house rules and he was stealing from the other boys in the house. All in all I'm really enjoying the books about the Castaway Hotel.

First of all I want to say this was a great chapter, I'm sure it was difficult for you to write it. I can say that this kind of thing happens more times than not because the young people didn't get the love and support they needed when they were very young. I know that it doesn't excuse their actions similar to what Frankie did since coming to live at the Castaway Hotel. I know that Josh feels like he messed up with Frankie due to the fact that he was dealing with Kevin's surgery and before that the news from the doctor when he said that he found a lump on Kevin's testicle and wanted further tests to be sure it wasn't another cyst, then they get the results and that lead to the removal of Kevin's testicle to prevent the spread of the cancer. Frankie had no right to try to force himself on Trey after reading a discarded page from Treys computer journal, it was in the recycle bin and Trey forgot to empty the bin before he got off the computer. I hope that things will settle down now for awhile and the guys can finish their punishment and move on to Christmas and the visit from the older children of Josh's and the nephews the boys enjoy being around whenever possible.

Another great chapter. I'm glad that Colin and Devon have made a full recovery after being shot. I hope that Dr Petran and Sorin Dulca take the disfavor and then they can see where the vampire epidemic started. It'll be interesting to see what happens next, at the same time I'm wondering if this vampire hunting group can be a real problem if they actually find the group before Stan and Buddy find them and get information on the members of the group. I believe that if Stan can get the information needed to keep the hunters from finding the group from the United States. I can't wait for the next chapter or chapters to see what happens next.

Bill, I'm happy to see the story continue to another book. I believe that Josh has had the opportunity to really see the bond between his natural children and the adopted brothers they have now. I'm glad that the grandson's have taken a shine to Cole and Gram as they in turn love being the best uncles they can be. I'm glad that Dustin and Danny have been taught by their brother and brother in law to fish and that they have become good at it in the first time they went out to fish. I think the whole family is really starting to blend together and have a great repor with each other as well as they do with their dad. I'm going to continue reading the book now and I'll comment more later.

I just finished reading the Castaway Hotel, and I will tell you that I have really enjoyed reading this story it reminds me of some of the things I went through as a child, although I was never in foster care my younger sisters were as was my oldest son. I have a great respect for those who serve the role of foster parents as they have a chance to turn the lives of the children in their care to turn their lives around and become upstanding citizens. I'm proud of the way that Josh handled the boys as they came to live with him, he showed them that they could trust him to do what's right for each of the boys. He told each of them as they came to live with him that they could come to him about anything at all and he would help them the best way he saw that he could. As his household grew to where he had 6 young men from the age of 12 through 16 and within a very short period of time they all started calling him dad and that made him feel like he was doing something right for them to honor him by calling him dad. I'm impressed that even though he already had 4 grown children of his own he felt that he was becoming very depressed about the way he was living at that time because he was a widower and then his friend Sally asked if he would consider being a foster parent and he wound up with 6 great young men who really needed him at that time in their lives, Josh told his children about each of the boys when they came to live with him and when the natural children met his foster sons at Thanksgiving they fell in love with them as well and then at Christmas they all got together again and that's when he gave each of the boys an envelope which contained a letter stating his intention to adopt them if they agreed which they all did. I want to say thank you for the great story, I'm very appreciative of the time and energy all of the writers here put into their work.

Quokka this was another great chapter. It's to bad all of the crew had to separate to try to avoid the media. Although that doesn't appear to be the case as both Anton and Simon's pictures were in the newspaper so they're having to sneak around in order to keep out of sight. I'm glad that Vic & Rita were lucky enough to have a friend who happens to have a yacht berthed at the yacht club marina, she has agreed to take Anton and Simon to Fiji quietly. I can't believe that Kirk and Leon lied to Anton about going back to work with Vic and Rita. I hope that they can avoid the media and that no other articles appears in the paper, they can't seem to catch a break from the media, it was also told that the yacht had been chartered by Mimi Fenton and her family on a few occasions. That information shouldn't have been given to the media, I wonder who's giving this information to the media and I hope that Anton can find them and get them to stop giving information about the yacht and crew members as that is something that shouldn't be in the news. Can't wait for more chapters on the adventures of the Last Resort and her crew. Thanks for writing this great story, I look forward to reading more stories from you in the future.

Great chapter. I didn't know what to think when Paddy walked in on Ian and Adam, then Paddy's laughing about the site taking place in front of him. Once Adam and Ian found out that Paddy was there Adam got a bit embarrassed about Paddy catching his dad and Adam kissing. When Ian went to talk to Paddy about what he saw, he told Ian that he was happy that Ian had found someone to share his life with. When Ian returned to Adam, Ian told Adam that Paddy now had something to tease him about finally. After a few more minutes of kissing each other and their shirts were off they went to Ian's bedroom and then more kissing and removing of the pants Adam winds up on the bed then gets the best blow job and orgasm he's ever had they head to the shower so Adam could clean up before going to pick up Payne's aunt from the airport. I hope the next chapter comes soon so I can see what comes next for Adam, Ian and Patrick. Thanks for writing this great story, I love the way your characters interact with each other and the affection they all have for everyone else they consider family.

I think it's great that Anton and his crew finally got back to civilization and it was great that the boat yard guys were called by the customs officer. After hearing that the media would be hounding them to get their story about how they became missing for 3 weeks, Anton immediately made an announcement that the crew needed to get a suitcase packed for a week so that as soon as the yacht was safely in the boatyard and hidden away they would be leaving. I hope the repairs to the yacht won't cost more than Anton has in cash, especially since he's having to get away from the media. I think Anton's had enough of the media since they've done charters for the British actress Mimi Fenton and her family the crew has been trying to get away from the media circus. I hope the crew can relax and enjoy the rest after being stuck on the atoll for the two weeks, and then sailing for another week in order to get to civilization. I'm glad that they were able to let their families know that they were all okay. Another wonderful chapter with fast paced action, hope to see the next one very soon. Thanks for writing this great story.

It appears as though it's going to take a few days to get the yacht back in the ocean. I like the comment by Anton stating that if they go to Marshall Islands to get the repairs made they would be a third of the way back home to Australia, so that's where their going to be going. I'm wondering if they ever took the sat phone apart so it could dry out after being on the main deck for so long getting rained on for about 3 days. If they can get it dry then they could possibly use it to call for help in getting to where they can get their repairs made and to call gramps and let him know what happened to them and that they're coming home once they get back to sea worthiness by getting the pontoon and hull damage repaired and getting the radio antenna and the satellite dish replaced so they have radio communication. I'm enjoying the story very much, I'm waiting patiently for the next chapter. Thanks so much for writing such an amazing story full of never ending adventure for Anton and his crew of his brothers and friends.

This was a great story, I read all three of the stories before commenting on them. I think it was great that things worked out well for the people of Tarolia especially Kieren since he was the direct disendant to the kings of Tarolia. I'm glad that he was able to make up with his best friends who accompanied him on his mission to get the sword of kings in order to defeat the evil wizard Madumda. I liked the fact that Kieren was sought out by Beraut the wizard who gave Kieren the edge he needed to defeat Madumda by giving him the amulet that only a direct decendant was able to use, it came in handy a couple of times. I'm glad that when Kieren married Jana and their first child was a boy who was named after Romeric who sacrificed quite a bit during the time when they were enroute to Treblanc, then their second child was also a boy and named after Garreth who is also grandsire to his namesake as well as being the uncle, the same is true for Romeric as well, the third child was a girl and her name is Juna a tribute to her mother Jana. As I said this was a great story from beginning to end.

Another great chapter. I'm glad they survived the storm, to bad the yacht sustained all the damage it did. I'm glad Simon was thinking about ways to grow their own food and that way they're able to not spend so much for the food they need to buy. I think the barrels that Simon got are a very good investment as they'll get used now to help with the water supply for the hydroponic gardens that Simon is trying to grow. I hope that they can get the sat phone to work again so that they can get some needed help with repairs to the yacht, everything from the mast to the radio antenna, satellite dish, pontoons and the main bow. At least they now know where they are and that will help when the sat phone becomes usable again. Loving the story, can't wait to see what happens next to the crew of the Last Resort.
