The author requests those who wish to read this series contact her via eMail: Dlb1234@aol.com Summary:  This IS the final chapter to Chinese Molasses, a story I once thought finished.  But with so many requests for more, I was forced into adding to the ongoing plot.  Prelude to Rebirth, will explain without details, what really happened to Joe Cartwright when Lin Wong returned unexpectedly a year later.  After believing to be dead, Lin Wong enters the Cartwright home and finds Joe alone.  From that meeting, Joe’s nightmare becomes a reality that takes him from one lifetime into another, where he seeks refuge.  The Rebirth of Joe Cartwright, tells of Joe’s struggles, his strengths, and his determination to rise above what this highly abusive man inflicted upon him.  The unconditional love of Ben Cartwright is highly portrayed and much of Joe’s recovery is credited to his father.

Summary: I wrote this story for David Dortort’s 90th birthday party to which I was invited. In the story I used all 430 episode titles so the story might sound a bit strange to some. I had the story bound in book form for Mr. Dortort and given to him as my gift celebrating his 90 glorious years. It was my way of saying thank you for the joy he brought to so many lives and especially for the friendship that developed between us that I will always cherish. It has never been shared with anyone except David, until now. Rated: G (5,000 words)

Summary: Hoss, tired of his younger brother always being under foot, wishes that Little Joe would just go away and leave him alone. Rated: G (8,850 words)
