The Bonanza universe lost an ardent fan when Susan Grote passed away unexpectedly on March 2, 2017. The news caught her family, friends, and fellow writers and readers by surprise as she had not been ill.
Susan was a fierce supporter of Bonanza fan fiction, helping many to take their first literary steps. She never failed to offer support and encouragement to all writers, regardless of fandom.
Her family has graciously granted Brand permission to post her stories in our Library so that readers may continue to enjoy them.
