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. Oh this is beautiful!! I love stories that get in the character’s minds like this-it makes me feel like I’m really getting to know them. 😊

  2. Bittersweet musings for Marie — one does wonder. I’m sure she’s right, and Adam would have welcomed a new little brother. He may have even more easily accepted her, who knows. I could feel the longing in her heart for that other little boy … such a sad thing that events unfolded as they did.

    Very nice…thx so much for writing.

  3. Enjoyed the day at the lake and Marie’s reflections on what could have been if Clay “had survived” (and we know he did). One wonders how Clay would have turned out if he hadn’t been taken away from his mother.

  4. A perfect day at the lake; even if longing took one back in time to what could have been. Thank you for dreaming and sharing.
