Author has written 26 stories for Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, and Rifleman. I live in Kentucky, I'm over 50, happily married with two grown sons, a step daughter, a step son, three grandkids and 5 step grandkids. I've loved westerns all my life, grew up watching Bonanza (loved Little Joe!), The Rifleman (for which I've now written a fanfic), The Virginian, Rawhide, Wagon Train, then fell in love with Little House on the Prairie, and many more, plus a host of western movies. (although westerns aren't the only thing I watched...) I'd have to say my favorite movie is John Wayne's "Angel and the Bad Man". What a masterpiece. (All it takes is a good woman, right ladies??) So, when I heard in early '93 of a new western show about a woman doctor in the 1800's - starring Jane Seymour! - I knew before I even saw the pilot that I would love it. Well, that was an understatement! That show was so fantastic, in so many ways, words aren't enough to describe. The wholesome storylines were wonderful. The casting was great, the writing was superb, the sets and scenery were awesome - the costumes - marvelous! The dresses that Michaela wore in the Boston episode were so drop dead gorgeous, oh my! And Jane - I already loved her as an actress before that, but WOW, she's awesome. I love her hair!! The children were great, the town people, everyone! And then there's...Sully! Does that man have the most beautiful pair of blue eyes in the world, or what? (and I won't even mention those kissable lips, firm muscles, and smooth, masculine voice). *Blush. Sully, masterfully brought to life by Joe Lando, was everything a woman could want in a mate. He not only looks gorgeous in anything from buckskins to tuxedos, and can hold his own among native Americans, outlaws, townspeople, the elite of Boston society, or even the President himself - but he's strong, brave, wise, honest, kind, gentle, loving, romantic, sensual - and he doesn't cuss, smoke, or drink! He's a one-woman man through and through, and as he himself said, he would give his life for the woman he loved. He captivated my emotions and imagination from the first throw of his tomahawk. When CBS rudely and abruptly canceled the show, I was heartsick. I signed petitions, I complained, I wrote letters to the studio, I got on forums, I wrote letters to the editor - everything I could think of, to no avail of course (because we all know now - one man with undeserved power can sure ruin a good thing just because he CAN). I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was when this show came out on DVD. To be able to watch any episode, anytime I want, with no commercials!, is an unbelievable dream come true. Anyway, I love to read and I love to write, and now that I'm finished with my modern trilogy, I'm going to embark on a 'real' book, lol. Oh and if you're reading this bio and aren't a member of the DQ forum, you don't know what you're missing! Come on by and join us! You'll meet alot of great people who love Dr. Quinn just as much as you do. It's lots of fun. :) http://forum.drquinn.us/index.php By the way, if you haven't seen the plethora of wonderful fan-made Dr. Quinn videos on Youtube, you have to check them out. Those videos and fan fiction are keeping the show alive! The only thing better than that would be a 3rd movie - right guys? God bless you!!! AND FOR ANYONE READING MY ITALIAN TRANSLATED STORIES: A big Thank you to Adriana for wanting to translate some of my stories into her native Italian. I am honored. Thank you, Adri! :) L'autrice ha scritto 18 storie per Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Sono Americana, vivo in Kentucky e sono un'over 50; sono felicemente sposata, ho due figli ormai grandi, una figlia e un figlio acquisiti, tre nipotini più altri cinque dai miei due figli acquisiti. Amo i film western, sono cresciuta con Bonanza ( amavo Little Joe!), The Rifleman, Il Virginiano, Carovane verso il West, Rawhide, poi mi sonno innamorata di La casa nella Prateria e molti altri, più una moltitudine di film western ( anche se i film western non erano i soli film che guardavo...) Devo dire che il mio film preferito è quello con John Waine L'ultima conquista. Che capolavoro! ( tutto quello che serve è una brava e onesta ragazza, vero signore?) Così, quando ho sentito all'inizio del 1993, di un nuovo telefilm la cui protagonista era una donna medico del 1800 - interpretata da Jane Seymour – sapevo, prima ancora di aver visto l'episodio pilota, che me ne sarei innamorata. Beh, quello era dire poco. Il telefilm era così fantastico, che dirlo a parole non rende l'idea abbastanza. L'intera trama era fantastica. La scelta degli attori era grandiosa, la sceneggiatura era superba, il set e gli scenari erano imponenti, - i costumi – meravigliosi! I vestiti che Michaela indossava negli episodi di Boston vestivano stupendamente, ahh! E Jane – mi piaceva già prima di girare questo, ma wow! Qui è fantastica! Amo i suoi capelli. I bambini erano grandiosi, la gente della città, tutti quanti! E poi c'è... Sully! Non ha quell'uomo il più bel paio di occhi azzurri al mondo, o cosa? ( Senza contare quelle labbra da baciare, quei muscoli saldi e forti, quella voce vellutata e mascolina). Sto arrossendo... Sully, magistralmente interpretato da Joe Lando, era tutto quello che una donna poteva desiderare in un compagno. Lui, non solo era splendido qualsiasi cosa indossasse dai pantaloni di pelle di daino all'abito da sera, ma sapeva come comportarsi con i nativi americani, i fuorilegge, la gente in città, l'elite della società bostoniana e anche con il Presidente degli Stati Uniti-, ed è forte, coraggioso, saggio, onesto, dolce, gentile, affettuoso, romantico e sensuale- e non bestemmia, fuma o beve! Lui può appartenere solo a una donna, e come dice di se stesso, darebbe la sua vita per la donna che ama. Ha catturato le mie emozioni e la mia immaginazione dalla prima volta che l'ho visto lanciare il suo tomahawk. Quando la CBS all'improvviso cancellò il telefilm, mi venne male al cuore. Firmai petizioni, mi lamentai, scrissi lettere agli Studios, misi in piedi Forum, scrissi lettere agli editori, ho pensato qualsiasi cosa, ma senza alcun risultato ( perchè noi tutti sappiamo – che un uomo con un poter immeritato, può sicuramente rovinare una bella cosa solo perchè ha in mano il potere). Non potete immaginare quanto fossi entusiasta quando il telefilm venne fuori in DVD. Poter veder ogni episodio tutte le volte che voglio, quando voglio e senza pubblicità!, è un incredibile sogno che si è avverato. Ad ogni modo, io amo leggere e amo scrivere, e ora che ho finito con la mia trilogia moderna, ho intenzione di cimentarmi con un libro 'vero'. Oh! Se stai leggendo il mio profilo e non sei un membro del Forum di Dr.Quinn, non sai cosa ti perdi! Dai! Unisciti a noi! Incontrerai un sacco di gente fantastica che ama Dr. Quinn proprio come te! E' molto divertente! http://forum.drquinn.us/index.php Comunque, se non hai visto la grande abbondanza di meravigliosi video dei fan di Dr. Quinn su YouTube, devi farlo. Tutti quei video stanno tenendo il telefilm vivo più che mai! C'è solo una cosa che sarebbe migliore: che facessero un film in 3D - giusto ragazze? Che Dio vi benedica! | |||||||
