There hidden secrets that Kitty has kept from Matt for more than 10 years. She has moved from Dodge to St. Louis to keep the secrets safe... But why does it feel like it's her undoing? and everything is unraveling around her? The story is rated T just to be safe.

During a busy summer week, Kitty's feeling a little lonely. A charming young man from Texas is there to keep her company, but he's got other plans in Dodge City when Matt is forced out of action by a bad tooth and a lot of liquor. Rated T for light swearing, drinking, and some descriptions of bullet wounds. One-shot, based on the radio episode "Kitty's Quandary."

Title says it all. Since it's now fall, somehow this story wrote itself and I went from there. Just Matt and Kitty enjoying company.

What if Sarah Drew ("Long, Long Trail") didn't die?

September has rolled around again and it's already time for Matt and Kitty's sixth anniversary! Matt has had to miss four out of five. Doc has a party planned. Will the sixth be just another one of Kitty's disappointments? 10th in the "There's Always Tomorrow" series.

Matt's gun arm is seriously wounded in the episode, the Disciple, but people can be wounded in different ways. Is it true that time heals all wounds? (Yes, I'm still bad at this summary thing).

Reflections in a mirror

One thing you can count on - if there's a guest star in the episode, they've got a connection to a Dodge City local and there's going to be trouble. Wouldn't it be nice if - just for once - someone could show up and not have any issues? I don't own the characters from the show or the setting or even a DVD set.

Recently, I couldn't help but wonder: What if instead of launching a psychological assault against Mannon after she'd summoned him to her rooms, Kitty had made Mannon an offer he couldn't refuse? Come along on the journey to discover the terms of "The Contract".

A re-imaging of "My Sister's Keeper" Season 9 Episode 6

Festus has disappeared and his friends are worried.

A late night visitor arrives at Doc's door.

I have dedicated this to the different types of poems I'll be writing in regards to Gunsmoke and its characters.

Doc reflects on the people that are most important to him. Five chapters with hopefully a chapter a day. (Yes, I've written another story. I figured I might as well write and publish them while the ideas are in my head and before I go back to teaching in September.)

Sometimes a small gesture can mean so much.

Concussion symptoms recurring for a ballplayer brought about this combination of MMs & ATC for Blind Man's Bluff. Matt & Kitty visit Bill Pence & Laura Simmons in Pueblo where the couple now live only to have Matt's hoped for recovery from his returned blindness complicated by Cope Borden's end of Hot Spell threat haunt them.

This story is about Matt, Kitty, and Ruby, but won't be with my "The Dillons: A Treasured Family." This will be a multi-chapter story. Normally I update "The Dillons: A Treasured Family" weekly. That won't be updated as I will be working on this story. I wish you could add more than 4 characters. There will be others besides the ones listed.

A young and beautiful woman arrives in Dodge from Matt's past. (Yes, another one!)

This is a sequel to "Double Edge Sword." If you haven't had a chance, you might want to read that story first. What happens when Abby's biological father shows up? I'm not sure on the number of chapters. No matter the length, I hope you enjoy it. (Matt, Kitty, Doc, and Festus will be in this story, but it will also have other characters in it.)

A Gunsmoke interpretation of a short poem. This most likely will not be what many readers expect or even like, but it is a personal expression I dare to share here.

Chester never forgot what he had "learned about women" from beautiful Chavela. (Ten chapters)

Kitty decides it's time to cut her losses where Dodge and Matt are concerned. Inspired by her conversation with Matt in "'Pucket's New Year." Continued by request.

Some musings.

Doc summons an unconventional lady alienist to treat Wells Latham for shock over the death of his twin brother who killed himself, a lecherous ruffian beats Wells and Matt rescues him from a worse fate, and the alienist comes calling as Wells lies wounded at the jailhouse. A sequel to Ghost Town. 4 chapters: 1) Wells Unravels, 2) Darkness Lurks, 3) The Attack, 4) Wells' Choice

After four years away from Dodge, Kitty returns married with children. (Like I've said before, I am very bad at this summary thing).
