As a personal tribute, I would like to share that I had always loved writing, but had ceased doing so for many years. I went to see Master & Commander and was so taken with the performance of Russell Crowe that I purchased the first of the series of novels by Patrick O'Brian. The result was that I not only read the entire series, but was inspired to pick up my pen and paper and write again. I will always be thankful to Russell and to Patrick for inspiring me to do so. My first attempt at writing again was what became known as 'The Jackson Saga', a trilogy of sorts which features two characters inspired by Russell. The first set of chapters were collectively called When a Woman Loves a Man.  I followed up with  Waiting for a Rainbow,  and then In Search of  Happy Endings.  These stories were all actually written by hand  first,  the old fashioned way, then I typed them into Word.  I have broken them into the sections as they were written and will post them over the course of time. I hope you enjoy them. ------Pioneerwoman
