I particularly enjoyed the speech from Cosmo’s mother, and the reaction it stirred in the Saloon. You did a fine job of resolving the question of Ira’s actions while leaving the supernatural element nicely ambiguous. Thank you so much!

Now I read to the end I’m happy because it was a very good story. Thanx for giving me goosebumps. JoeCAuthor’s Response: Thank you, Helga! I’m pleased to know the story drew you in from the beginning so you had to read through to find out how it’d end. And I’m glad to know you enjoyed it.*

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. Apparently dead mean can tell tales! And Ben has all kinds of interesting friends, doesn’t he? 🙂
    I love the eerie atmospheric opening. Interesting challenge, and I enjoyed the result, Patina!
