How far will Jarrod go to keep a promise he made to a client? And where will this adventure take him? I posted this awhile back on another site and decided to share it here. I hope everyone enjoys it.

The Barkley brothers meet a man who has had an experience all too similar to theirs at Rimfire, and Jarrod discovers the man's situation can help his.

Nick tells Heath a story about Jarrod's childhood, that Jarrod didn't know Nick knew about. Based on a true story about Ketcham, Cheatham and the sign on their mercantile in Stockton in the early 1850s.

When Jarrod receives a letter asking that he help a "Child of Barkley blood", he isn't sure he can believe it. He goes to San Francisco to learn the truth, while the rest of his family remains in Stockton for the visit of extended family. What Jarrod finds is boy named Timothy and a lot of trouble.

After inheriting "an old cabin", Jarrod asks Heath to go inspect the place. What will he find and what happens afterwards is another question. Rated T to be safe. Genre always subject to change. Only Heath will be in the first six chapters...after that, other Barkleys appear

I challenged myself to take an older story I'd written, start it off the same but then take it in a completely different direction. This version of "The Man From Somewhere," posted a while back, has Danny asking for Jarrod's help because Libby has lost track of her life and her finances.

AU - Heath meets the Barkleys

Set about a year after Nick and Hester Converse. Nick falls in love again, with a beautiful, intelligent businesswoman who has just come to Stockton – but what really is her interest in him?

Liam, twin brother to Heath and half brother to Jarrod, Nick, Audra and Eugene, has begun to make a life in Stockton with his family. When a person from his past makes an appearance, Liam must find the courage to speak about a dark time to save his sister from danger.

This story - another short one posted on another site in response to a ten-minute challenge - is related to a story I wrote called "Among the Dead at Alto."

Trouble from the war comes back to haunt. A brief scene from a ten minute sprint challenge on another site.

A short one-chapter story I wrote for another site's "Ten Minute Sprint." The title explains everything.

A two part story on grief and false guilt... First chapter has one Barkley, second chapter will have three.

The Mock Courtmartial of General Alderson that ensnared Nick continues to reverberate; effecting both Nick as well as his relationship with Jarrod

Set four months after "Days of Wrath." Jarrod's client, a difficult man Jarrod doesn't like much, is found murdered shortly after meeting with Jarrod, and Jarrod has left town and the family without a word.

Nick and Elizabeth Hyatt's story...the one not told in "Shelter From the Storms". Rated T to be safe. Rating and Genre always subject to change. Last chapter has Jarrod, Heath and Victoria. Epilogue has Nick with those three Barkleys.

A short fluff of Audra from her brother's perspectives. Will be ongoing series.

A brief and somewhat silly misadventure into someone else's marriage. On a business trip, Jarrod ends up in the midst of the crazy mess between his friend(?) Nat Springer, his wife Emily – and the other woman.

In the aftermath of the events in Court Martial, Nick starts to suffer from nightmare inducing memories

AU – It is one year after "Time After Midnight" and Jarrod has not recovered his vision, but managed to keep his career together with the help of a young attorney who becomes his assistant and brings him some insight into the life he hadn't planned on living.

Jarrod successfully defends a young man on a murder charge, but then the man robs and murders an elderly couple in Stockton. As executor of their wills, Jarrod tries to take care of the dead couple's affairs, while dealing with his own guilt and a 21st century problem that turns up in the 19th century.

A conversation between Audra and Victoria shows Audra is more aware of her family and their natures than anyone gives her credit for.

After taking a wrong turn and finding himself in an expected snowstorm, Nick seeks refuge in a widow's and her stepdaughter's cabin. Rated T to be safe. Genre always subject to change. All Barkleys except Eugene will at least be shown in parts of the story.

Memories are strong sources of emotion . . . when the touch of an item evokes one, it can be even stronger.

Heath agrees to take Audra to Strawberry for the first time, but what should be a sweet, nostalgic visit turns bitter when they find Hannah missing, and discover something else.
