You're a pretty cool chick and Steve is a lucky guy to be able to share football with ya.Here's hoping it all turns out fair. For the record, I am not sure whether or not the Blades can avoid being relegated either, but you are all right about the fine being a mere drop in the ocean. It's just wrong. D.

Danny: Carol-Sorry to hear about Steve's father passing. I can't imagine how much it must hurt. S.
Carol: Danny! You can be so unkind! Does this mean you are happy to see someone hurtin'? LOLFirst of all, he is not MY Sean Bean - Second of all, although his last two films may not have been his best, his performances in both of them were outstanding; I trust you made note of that. Lastly, I saw the game yesterday and truly felt bad about it. There is something fundamentally wrong with how all this was attained by West Ham and I am not so sure I trust what the outcome will be... It has made for
Danny: Hey Carol, Looks like your Sean Bean is having a rough go of it lately. Two bad movies and yesterday his team lost Premiership.
Louise: Carol I stumbled in here on Wednesday evening and have loved every minute. You have a real no nonsense way of writing that I happen to like very much. Terrific job. (Oh and I like your taste in men too. Sean Bean is definitely a hottie!)
Elizabeth: Yeah, Carol, post about your wonderful marriage. We do all want to know. What's your secret for keeping things so tight between you and Steve all these years. Most of the time, I can't stand my husband! LOL.

Leah: I love your latest. Perfect Muse. You are so freakin' funny!
Marian: This is really great, Carol! Kudos, kiddo!~ :D
DCH: Ah! As soon as you mentioned Sean Bean, I kind of figured you'd had him in mind for your character. (Which character I'm not certain yet; there seems to be several incorporated in the story -- Steve, Logan and Jamie . . .) I'll read it again! I've known how great Sean Bean is since the first time I saw the "Sharp" series on the History Channel years ago . . and just had to own the videos (now a set of DVDs as well!). I love the Sharp character and Sean is absolutely perfect in that role!
Bea: JEEPERS! How did I miss this?!Terrific stuff, even in its roughest form. I cannot wait to see the final product, m'dear! TJ is right; you MUST finish it! And YOU are right; it IS the best thing you have ever done. How clever you are! INDEED!

Danny: I love this. Your excerpts from BTW are awesome. I am thrilled for you, Kiddo! Don't let the shock of catching Bean out of his element befuddle you; you're better than that. Loved Madison COUnty Event too! As you would say, it's Good Stuff. Cheers babe.D-man
Rick: You scare me. Have you seen Hitcher? Damn!
Barb -: I am left speechless. But in a good way.

HOMEWARD JESS

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Genre: FANFIC, Western, LARAMIE

Background: Homeward Jess is a Two Part LARAMIE story written by Carol Marsella.

Rating: R - For Sexual Situations and Strong Psychological Themes.

Additional Notes: For the purposes of this story, Jess Harper was born in June of 1847.  Additionally, I am breaking with LARAMIE canon and reducing Mike Williams in age from 12 years to 8.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Special heartfelt thanks to John Champion for creating LARAMIE and those who inhabited the Sherman Ranch and Relay Station, specifically Jess Harper and Slim Sherman; for having the foresight to make them less than perfect while, at the same time, writing into them such fundamentally moral values and decency in character that neither can ever be questioned, rivaled or duplicated.  I am eternally in your debt.

Furthermore, I wish to thank Robert Fuller, John Smith, Hoagy Carmichael, Robert "Bobby" Crawford Jr, Spring Byington, and Dennis Holmes for the unparalleled quality of their work in their portrayals of Jess Harper, Slim Sherman, Jonesy, Andy Sherman, Daisy Cooper and Mike Williams.

Additional thanks to Tony Gill for his now Official Robert Fuller Website from which I gained a plethora of useful information and my dear friend, Liz "Neebeeshaabookway" Gonzalez for her gracious assistance and her enthusiastic willingness to share her LARAMIE expertise whenever I called upon her.

The usual disclaimers apply.

I did not create nor do I own the six main characters mentioned above or The Sheriff, Mort Corey, or The Stage Driver, Mose Shell.  All other characters in this story, however, are my creations. They may be used in other fanfics, but I respectfully request that you include a bibliography.

I hope that you enjoy the story.
