They slip off the pedestal and let us down.

A letter from an old acquaintance has Jarrod questioning justice and injustice. His 7-year-old son J.T. notices.

Once before I've taken a story I wrote that started out one way and wrote a different story to it. This is similar, a sort of a rewrite of "Having His Back." The plot is the same – a lost love of Nick's has come back to town and he's not happy to find out why she left him. The reason this time is very different.

A first step in Nick and Heath building a brotherly bond...the beginning of the transformation from "Palms of Glory" to "The Iron Box."

Jarrod returns from a long period away in Washington to find that Audra is engaged to marry Jason Merrick, a man who was once his client. I credit the late Carey Long with the inspiration for this story – a little like his idea but different in some important respects.

Mining business and a telegram have three Barkleys heading to Strawberry. Rated T to be safe. Rating and Genre always subject to change.

Many hate the S2E1 "Lost Treasure," and I did too, but a while back I wrote a followup story to address it. I originally posted on BV Writer's Desk as "My Boy." I made some revisions in the dialogue and am now posting here. TV doesn't have time to show communication. Some of my stories started out as character sketches for a long (and happier) story I'm working on. Whole family.
