I apologize to my readers for the long delay between chapters.
This chapter would not have happened without the help of Adam Phillips, author of Crosscurrents (http://archerland.disbelieve.org/adam.htm) and “ghost writer” for the remaining chapters of ISWB. Thank you also to Bill for his continued editing help.
Finally, as always, thank you to my partner. I'm a lucky, lucky man.

Sorry for the delay in getting this chapter out. There's a section of Dan's notes that gets kind of sketchy and fragmentary, and it's made the writing somewhat challenging for a little while. From here on out subsequent chapters should come much more quickly, though.
This chapter and the remainder of these chapters are dedicated to Dan's man. Thanks for everything you're doing to help me with this.

The rest of Dan's story should get posted fairly quickly. There are about eight chapters to go. Thanks for continuing to read. Dan wanted this story to be told, and I dedicate the remainder of these chapters, and the telling of this story, to Dan's man. He loved you so much.

Here's the latest chapter of Sam's story. It should begin to address some questions that have been hanging around for a long time.
As usual, the dedication goes to Sam's man. And to him I want to say, this chapter would have been impossible without your help and input. I think you know that. Thanks for being my friend and for trusting me with this story.

Sam's readers: Sorry for the delay. My own schedule took me away from the story for a few months. Sam's notes were also not well-organized for this part of the story. As I sorted them all out, I discovered that the story is going to end up somewhat longer than I'd originally thought.
Thanks, readers, for hanging in. As usual, this chapter is dedicated to Sam's man. Thanks for everything you've done to get me past this stuck place.

I know I've given you varying reports on how long this story will be. As I get into this final stretch, I keep discovering areas of the story that need fuller treatment than I'd originally felt they would. It appears that this story will finish at 34 chapters. Stay tuned.
As usual, this chapter's dedication goes to Sam's man. You've become a good e-friend, and there's no way I could finish this thing without your help.

This is a long chapter. I'd considered splitting it into two, but ended up not doing so.
As always, I have to pay a word of tribute to Sam's man. Without his support for this project, I could never have taken it over from Sam.

Thanks again to Sam's man for looking this chapter over, and also to "Zach" for making sure I portrayed his vampire ass accurately. Having your input on all this means a hell of a lot to me.

I said I'd be finished by the end of 2009. Sorry for the delay. This next-to-last chapter challenged me more than I thought it would. Sam wrote the last chapter himself--and so I'll post the final chapter a few days after this one.
Thanks to Sam's man for standing by me as I tried to keep my promise to Sam and finish this for him. You're a great guy and I'm glad to know you. I couldn't have finished this without you.

This is the final chapter of It Started With Brian. I wrote the first 8 paragraphs to transition between chapters. The rest was written by Sam immediately after the therapy session-and aftermath-he describes. This final dedication is to my departed and much-loved friend-rest in peace, buddy-and to his "Brian," whom he loved with all his heart and soul. Thanks for helping me keep my promise to your man. And for your ongoing friendship.
