A present day story using the Bonanza characters and my own from Michiefmakers

A short Christmas-time scene.

This is a story about Hoss and his wife Caroline and what happens when they take on 3 young boys overnight to help out Sheriff Roy Coffee. There is no limit as yet as to the chapters but I do not expect the story to be a long one. It is part of my Role of a Father scenerio but I decided that the story should stand on it's own.

Adam has fully recovered now from his ordeal and is settling down now to everyday life as being a father to Elizabeth and continuing his work on the ranch with family. Only one thing has changed, he has found a new person in his life to give his love to. Follow him on his new journey in his life. WARNING: There is some adult situations in the story.

This is a continuation of Reflections. A series of brief reflections and/or life lessons in the voice of one of the Cartwrights. These pieces are too short to stand alone. The title of the chapter is the focus for that particular chapter. Most center around episodes, but not all. I plan to add more as the opportunity arises.

Little Joe's birthday just won't be the same since Pa has to be gone, so Adam agrees to a campout in the woods on All Hallows Eve - never guessing what terrifying events that innocent choice will put in motion.

Jamie documents his thoughts and feelings about living with the Cartwrights in a journal during the season 12 episode, 'The Gold-Plated Rifle' (episode #16). Written for a Trailriders writing challenge.
