Thank you for reading, Bndmetl! I think I need to send a bill to the "Visit Tampa" tourist board, lol. I'm glad that the story has reminded you of my Hometown, and I hope it's all positive. I couldn't have done this story without Kitt's and tim's help. Thank you, again.

Thank you for reading, and for the comment, FlyOnTheWall. Rob and Adam both deserve something positive out of this long month, and finding their loves was it in my book. Their relationships will be more pronounced in the next book with them in it. Sorry to make you a little homesick, but as a Tampa Native, I'm glad it brought back memories for you. ☺️

Thanks for reading and for the feedback, Sweetlion. I can see where it might feel rushed. I normally only do 1 day in a chapter, and in this one there are 3 days.

Thanks for reading, Wesley8890! I'm glad you enjoyed the story and this chapter.

Justice moves slowly. For each action Adam took, three more obstacles would pop up before him. To satisfy the back child support, permission was granted from the court in Florida to set up a Trust Fund for Robert in the amount Massachusetts was charging: $276,672.00 based on an average cost of $1013 a month in child support, and $423 in monthly medical insurance. However, a petition to the court in Massachusetts fought the jurisdiction of the case. Ultimately Adam won the jurisdiction, and

Good luck, Renee. Family comes first.

Ok. I was wrong about Sam, and Cynthia. Great story tim. Fantastic chapter.

Thanks for reading, and for the comment, IBEX! It will be glorious I promise that.

Thanks for reading, flesco! You're right about Adam having the resources, but his connections via Tibs is going to save a lot of time. While also being untraceable, back to Adam. Chapter 7 should be done soon.

Before I start to write, inspiration can come from anywhere. From news, to T.V. shows, to music, to pictures, to talks with people, to stories written by other people, and a healthy dose of role-playing games, are some of the things I find inspiration in. From there, once I start writing, I sit and do a vague outline. Just a bullet point summary of what I want to do in a scene. I use the idea I got, and just kneed it until I get a nice dough ball. Once that's done, I let it rest until I'm ready to write. Then it's a matter of linking scenes together in a chapter and then chapters together in an overall arc. During, because I write in serial format, two things influence my writing. How I am feeling at the time, and my medical conditions. I have to be mindful because sometimes, I'm unable to write if my hands are shaking too bad. Other times, It's hard to write a sex scene when I just had a fight with a roomie, and all I want to do is punch someone in the nose. I will play music targetting the scene, hoping that helps put me in the right frame of mind. Nothing with words. Too distracting. Also, Reader Comments and Interaction. If no one is reading my story, then I prioritize it less, than one that has a more active following. (Hint Readers... Want more chapters? Well, comment on the story and there's a discussion thread!) Afterward, the cycle repeats.

Another well thought out, and constructive article, Comsie. Thank you, for volunteering your time to this.

I wonder if Salamander skin makes good leather? Not really liking Sam, based on his personality. Great job tim, of making the characters come alive.

This is some excellent writing. Lots of research has been done to get not only terms but descriptions of several weapons systems correct. Brilliantly executed, and well thought out an planed. I felt like I was in the situation with Tom Ross, several times.

Excellent story so far. I just finished reading the currently published 17 chapters, and can't wait for more. Thank you for writing this story.

I've read the first three a few times. Been meaning to finish the series, but just haven't had the gumption to do so. Overall, it's a good series.

A short tale of a Military Court of Inquiry. Very well written and thought out. Read like a report, but was quick and entertaining.

From a Florida native, who has lived with Hurricanes all his life... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

The cake is a lie!

Thanks for reading, and for the response, Hunter of Porn. Adam is borderline alcoholic. He does have the gene for addiction, as evident by Tibs, but his drinking is normally much more controlled. Chapter 7 is right around the corner.

Thanks for reading, and for the comment, glennish. Something wicked this way comes... in chapter 7.

Thanks for reading, Kaimuki. That is something that Adam has in the back of his mind. So, he will keep an eye out for any repercussions.

That's what I had to do recently as well. Though, I ended up deleting Backup and Sync in order to fix a different glitch in the system.

Thanks for reading, and for the comment, jaysalmn. I had plans for Duncan from the beginning, but it was for him to become Adam's significant other. His week of a retreat was him building up the nerve to confess to Adam what he's been hiding for a while, and his brother Ian was trying to help him through the divorce. There may be a short story later on that shows the trip to Key West for Duncan.

Thanks for reading, centexhairysub. The Trafficante family is a legit mafia family here in Tampa. Though they are considered "defunct" now by experts. It's an interesting chapter in Tampa's history, that we had a Mafia Family, and they controlled the whole state of FL.

Thanks for reading, jp. It's one reason why Tibs wanted Adam to stay out of what he was doing. Adam is working on the high-road, with their attorney Carol, while he goes low-road, and takes out their knees. For Tibs part, he thinks by going to his world, he can protect his family, and pay back some of the debt he owes Adam too.
