I wonder what punishment will be in store for this Cartwright when Pa gets him home…*

I'm a historical archaeologist who loves westerns and Bonanza is my favorite. I wrote my first Bonanza story in 2006 and the plot bunnies are still hopping. The majority of my stories include the entire family and many are prequels set during the period when Ben and Marie were married.

  1. This story was loads of fun! I loved every part of it! Adam played those guys so well just to get a rest. XD What a fun plot! Well done, Patina!

  2. Ha! I know I’ve read this before somewhere, but it was funny again! The whole thing made me laugh — I can just see Adam lounging in the corner resting while those two try to figure out just what is going on …

    Thanks for writing!

  3. I’ve just reread a Hat full of guilt, and Mouth full of regret, love them both and now just finished this one, it so funny Bert and Melvin weren’t very good at kidnapping, and Adam so an opportunity to have a rest. Like the other two I enjoy it. I never usually get the time to read so much, but am laid up with a bad knee thanks for a great story

  4. It was a sure-fire plan, even Adam’s, well… sort of. He should have remembered the saying about when you first practice to deceive… Poor Joe, his value decreased! Love it!

    1. Thank you, BWF. Adam was thisclose to the stars aligning in his favor. Glad to know you enjoyed this story.
