My name is Susan L. Bartelt. I am a crazy, fan of the original Dark Shadows series and of " Julia and Barnabas." I have written a fan fiction story with 10 chapters called, " Mr. and Mrs. Barnabas Collins", in which I have ended the story the way many of us BnJ shippers felt the show should have ended(chp.1-" Home," chp.2-" Something More Tangible," chp.3- " The Party," chp. 4-" The Wedding," chp.5-" A New Collins" chp. 6- " A Proud Heritage," chp. 7-" Best Christmas," chp. 8-" A New Dr. Collins," chp. 9-" Extending the Collins Line," and chp. 10-" A Real Collins Family Medical Emergency").

I am a 63 year old mother of 3 children and 1 grandson. On July 15, 2017, I turned 63 years of age. My two sons are grown men, my firstborn being the father of a 7year old( who turns 8 on June 30, 2018), and my daughter will be 21 on November 3, 2017. I am a retired teacher and substitute teacher who has dabbled in acting in community theater and church dramas, as well as writing.

I do not own Dark Shadows.
