I was never in combat in the time I was in the military, but it gave me some insight into the stress on those that were. This is a wonderful reflection of what those who fight must face. Thank you. (rating: 10)
Thank you so much, Alan! I'm really glad you enjoyed the story and got something significant out of it beyond just the erotic scenes!

I took a long time to read this story, there were times when I could not complete a whole chapter at one sitting. The imagery you used to describe war is very hard to read; for me anyway; I served for 22 yrs and in 3 different combat zones during that time and have all the glitzy bits of trash metal handed out by mealy mouthed politicians and their politicised dogs,(my commanders),BUT; the place you describe in the story was very nearly image for image what I have imagined and now clearly strive for myself to be my little utopia. My wife would like to thank you for giving me a means to to explain why my brain is not working right sometimes. I find it difficult to convey to her the scenes playing in my head when I have nightmares and how some social scenes cause me to react with stressful violence and then withdraw from everybody; when I showed her this story and she read cover to cover she asked if it was real and I said mostly the same. The story helped her understand me a little bit. So thankyou for that.
Thank you so, so much, neicesRMYpassion.
This is one of the most heartfelt and moving messages I've ever received. What you go through and have been through in reality, and what Hitch went through in fiction, is heartbreaking not something I'd wish on anyone. I'm humbled to know that the story struck home, in good and bad ways, but especially that Hitch and Kieu-Linh offered you the ability to at least open a door to dark and vulnerable places and have a chance to give someone who cares about you a peek inside. That has to be very difficult, but I hope it's, in some positive manner, cathartic.
Many, many thanks for sharing with me. I've been thinking about your message all day, and it really does make it hit home that what I write can have an impact on people beyond the mere prurience.

Second time I've read this. Loved it just as much as the first time.
Are you going to write a sequel to this??
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed a second read of the story. It's still probably the story I'm most proud to have written, so it means a lot that it has been worth another read through.
As to a sequel: Probably not, at least not soon. I've thought about what story I might tell, and I'm not really struck by anything I think would make it worth reopening things. I like where the characters left off, the state of their lives, and I'd hate to break open that peaceful moment to bring them back to a rough world again.
It took a lot of planning and rewriting to ensure the story had consistency and didn't leave any of the major plot pieces hanging, and while The War is still somewhat up in the air, I think it was largely made clear that the stalemate conditions weren't likely to change in the near future.
The one general concept I think might be worth a sequel would be set in the future a good fifteen or twenty years, probably surrounding Juliana-Ly and maybe Willow and Jimmy. Hitch would be too old to be a lead character, most likely, and I don't expect that he or Kieu-Linh would be doing enough beyond the cabin to be the main protagonists in an action tale.
So, at this point, I don't expect to follow up Semper Fi for a while. I'm not ruling it out completely. It could happen that an idea pops into my head and I just have to write it, but for now, I have other writing priorities to attend to.

Back rereading Semper Fi, as a Marine Combat Veteran I am close to this story lots of emotion but I have loved this on since you first published this one.
Thank you, RS! Of all my stories, I think Semper Fi is the one which best represents the sort of tale I can tell best. There's enough good sex scenes to keep it a fap story, but the characters and plot are thick enough to make it something much more. I'm definitely proud of Semper Fi, and I'm especially happy to hear from folks who have 'been there' who enjoy this story.

Congratulations on your narrative -- completely unbelievable, but just plausible enough to
pass muster once you have just overcome a smidgen of disbelief -- with one exception: Viagra.
Still available in a time where the consumer society has pretty much collapsed? Where you build
your own shelter? Where you produce your own food? I think I would have been less shocked if
whosis had found some rhinoceros horn to barter against a dozen eggs, or at least located an
oyster bed (kind of difficult in tha Appalachians, though!)
The Viagra is a minor detail,
though. I am an absolute fan of stories that are actual stories about plausible things happening,
rather than clinical descriptions of what fits where and dimensions that beggar belief, where
glamorous Hollywood roles are available for the price of a roll in the hay of a casting couch,
nobody has an ounce of fat, and all climaxes are simultaneous. In French, a novel is called un
roman, with an obvious relationship to romanticism, most often describing one or more
relationships that are fraught with difficulties. The story is supposed to describe what obstacles
arise, and what the protagonists do to overcome them -- successfully or not. with a happy ending
or not. So far, you score close to tops, so please continue....
Thanks, Tyri! I appreciate the feedback, and I don't disagree that the Viagra piece is a convenience
in the telling. However, I think it is plausible enough, though, especially in a broader context than the
narrator explains while telling the story.
Since we're mostly watching over Hitch's shoulder,
we see almost nothing of what is going on in the rest of the world (beyond the prologue, anyway.)
The Northeast US, for instance, may have recovered quickly throughout the war since it had both
an influx of immigrants from the southern states to provide labor, and had less 'home turf' to defend
with the 'border' states taking the brunt of all impacts.
Plus, we only get 'headlines' to inform
the reader about the rest of the world. It is plausible that, despite the widespread outbreak of
hostilities, by the time Hitch's story takes place, much of the world has returned to something
resembling normal. As such, it isn't really too much of a stretch to believe that pharmaceuticals are
still being produced and sold and that some of them will have made their way into the barter-heavy
outskirts of civilization, such as the mountains where Hitch and the others live. Perhaps Boston and
New York and Philadelphia are thriving by that point, maybe the UK and France and Germany as
well, and certainly pills which are in demand would have been among the first to be back in production
and widespread in availability in those places.
Anyway, that's why that bit felt reasonably
plausible enough to include. It's one of the benefits of having an non-omnipotent or otherwise
imperfect narrator telling the story: I don't have to explain every single detail of the world in order
to introduce pieces from 'out there' as needed.
And I absolutely agree with you about
plausibility in stories. It's why I so carefully go into the inner workings of emotions and context and
'reasons' and don't just jump right into the sex scenes. I like to know why my characters are motivated
to do what they do. I've written a few short stories and a couple of series where I do less of that, but
by far the most satisfying works I've produced are the ones which I've given careful explanations for
actions, and those are the stories I'm most proud of publishing. I'd probably put Semper Fi at the top
of my list, honestly. It's not perfect, no, but I love the characters, the dialog, and the plot and thought
it turned out to be a very robust, sincere version of the story I had in my head when I first conceived it.

What an enjoyable read. Storyline was well
developed as were the characters.
Your cynicism of the war support systems in the
west fits my belief about the current situation in
the USA. The soldiers are nothing but pawns and
consumers of expensive weapons. Designed,
manufactured and used for the sole benefit of the
industrial military companies.
Again a very enjoyable read.
Thank you, Tex! Unfortunately, I think you are spot on in many ways. Whatever
one feels about the timing and necessity of recent wars, the way our soldiers are
utilized is distressing. I doubt this will change any time soon. Glad you enjoyed SF!

Really good story. Thank you Have not read any of your other stories as
yet. I will when they are done. Have been disappointed too many times
when authors don't finish their works and leave me stranded.
Thanks for the compliments!
I think Semper Fi is my best story to
date, one I really enjoyed writing and I am proud of how it turned out.
Not an easy story to write, in many ways, but worth it, I hope.
I
have several series which are open-ended, such as
Shipwrecked and
Flower Petals,
so don't expect those to draw to specific end points. Others, such as
Groundhog Nights and
What the Night Whispers,
do end and are complete at this time. The series
Run is approaching a conclusion as well,
but I have to finish the last 8-10 chapters or so first (should be over the
next couple of months if things go as planned.) I don't know whether the
subjects in those stories are of interest to you, but if so, you might
enjoy them, as well. Very different than Semper Fi, but I am proud of them.

I found your writing about PTSD to give exposure... without
turning dark, And I enjoyed that. The setting was awesome...
post-apocalyptic without the zombies! Score!
Thank you so much! I really hope I've done all aspects of the story
justice, and I'm glad you found it enjoyable! I definitely love writing
in post-a scenarios, and I expect I'll write more of those in the

I haven't read any stories yet, but finished reading your into to
Semper Fi. Even here your literary talent shows and I am greatly
pleased to see you honoring our men and women in the military and
addressing the "terrible lack of support" for them. In addition to
looking forward to reading your work, I am honored to know that you
have great morals in the real world that we live in.
Thanks, Chuckles! Regardless of how I feel about where they are sent or
the wars they are sent to fight, there is no doubt about the sacrifice and
honor our soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines have. It was a pleasure
to try to treat them right with this story.

didn't see anything unbelievable in your military descriptions,

which I understand you cranked out in record time. Thanks again,

Thank you for a well written story. I am retired from the Marines, three tours in Viet Nam. My time was spent in the air, helicopter gunner and latter as a crew chief, UH-34 and CH-46. You have come very close to the black part of the mind. And the uncaring of the people in high power. I have in the past 5 years grown to distrust the people in DC more than ever before in my life. The wedge that has been driven between our people is some thing I wish had never happened.
Thank you again
Many, many thanks, Gunny! I tried to balance the various complex emotions and
thoughts of Hitch and the others, and I hope I did it some justice! I
certainly enjoyed writing this story and am fairly pleased with how it turned
out. Thanks for sharing the compliments and your story!

I really enjoyed "Semper Fi" and am enjoying "What The Night Whispers".
I think your writing and plots are getting better and better but at
the same time less dirty. As a porn lover this makes me sad but as a
reader who thinks you should start writing non-porn novels and
hopefully make some money from them, it makes me happy. From a
fapability standpoint, "Run", "Groundhog Nights" and "The Naturals"
are my favs. Thanks for the amazing amount of enjoyable work.
Thank you, Anon! I definitely feel that I've gotten better over the months,
I hope this comes through in what you read. It's true that Semper Fi
certainly is 'less dirty,' but I have added chapter 18 to Groundhog
Nights which is very dirty, especially for that series, plus a fairly
recent addition to The Naturals which is exceptionally dirty. So,
I will still write dirty scenes and stories, but it is true that my
new stories will take on a generally less-dirty tone than some others.

When is Semper Fi...the continuing stories coming out? Semper Fi
is a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed; However, you left enough
loose ends where a "part 2" could easily come into existence. Items
like: the war; the growing families; the Captain in Denver who was kind to
our hero and heroine; the buried gold that was left behind on the return to
the cabin;etc. etc.
Thank you, Anon! That's a tall order, honestly. I'm pretty happy with how the story
wrapped up all the major plot points that I felt needed resolution. The War is something
that is much, much bigger than what we see with the main characters, and would take a
lot of effort to fully explain and resolve in a story. I personally like stories
which don't attempt to sum up every end point, leaving the characters in a state of
perpetual existence, on the cusp of new events, letting the reader consider what ifs.
I doubt I'll return to do a full work up on the threads you describe, but I may
tell a backstory/prequel which was teased and left unexplained in this story.

Freakin great story. If you find the time, finish the story of The War.
Really curious on how it will end. Stalemate seems anti-climactic.
Thank you! I appreciate wanting to know where The War goes, but I kind of liked
leaving that aspect unresolved in the narrative. I wanted the scene in the Epilogue
to end the story, and at that point in time (based on the backstory I have
have for the chronology), the stalemate continued. Perhaps I could be
convinced one day to do a short round up of The War, but I probably won't
for some time.

into a recluse in the hills and mountains too!
Took him a few years
and a few visits from some people for him to come down.
