For KateP<\/strong><\/p>\n On the 24th December 2018 the Bonanza Universe lost one of our dear friends and writers.\u00a0 Kathleen Pitts (KateP) was a prolific writer of Bonanza fanfiction, a familiar name throughout most of the Bonanza forums where her stories are posted, read, and enjoyed by so many for so long.<\/p>\n Born in Bristol, England, UK Kate was married with two children and grandchildren. \u00a0 She was a founding member of Bonanzabrits and eventually became the Moderator for that forum where she kindly led many to write and enjoy everything Bonanza for many years. \u00a0 She was kind, patient, and always encouraging to fans old and new.<\/p>\n Sadly three years before, she retired from Brits and from writing when she was diagnosed with cancer.\u00a0 We are more than grateful that so many still have the advantage and pleasure of reading her stories here on Brand.\u00a0 KateP will live on through her stories, and from the many friends she made over the years.<\/p>\n ~ B ~ O ~ N ~ A ~ N ~ Z ~ A ~<\/strong><\/p>\n A Child\u2019s First Christmas – by KateP <\/a><\/p>\n Summary:\u00a0 Ben Recalls each of his sons’ first Christmas A Friend Indeed – by KateP <\/a><\/p>\n Summary:\u00a0 Joe and Adam have an eerie experience when they search for a missing ranch hand.
