  • Good Listener

    Drabble: One of Murdoch's sons needs to talk and he finds a good listener.

  • An Early Christmas Present

    Christmas is all about family. This tale is set in the early 1870s after the final episode and stands as a story in its own right, but it has links to my chapter story 'From Highlands to Homecoming'. If possible. I would suggest you read at least up to chapter 3 of H2H. Up to chapter 18 would get you every small reference.

  • More than Anything God Ever Created

    Drabble: The next generation will pay tribute to a man they loved and who loved them by living happy lives. Links to a comment in 'The Highriders' and 'The Homecoming".

  • Beautiful Wind

    Xenophobia is rife in 1870s California. The Lancer family help their friend, Zhang Longwei.

  • What if?

    Vignette: 'What ifs' are keeping both Murdoch and Johnny awake tonight.

  • The Beginning

    How Johnny became a gunfighter.

  • Not a Fool Anymore

    What's it like to be at the wrong end of a gun—his gun? WARNING: One instance of the F-word and some may find this story slightly bad taste.

  • From Highlands to Homecoming

    This back story for Murdoch Lancer starts on the day he leaves Inverness and ends soon after Scott and Johnny come home to Lancer. Its 52 chapters cover all the canon events of Murdoch's life and fill in a few gaps along the way. Chap 53 is a timeline and reference to the TV episodes, but the formatting is lost on this site. Contact me if you are really interested.

  • Like Father Like Son

    This Christmas story is the sequel to 'An Early Christmas Present'. It deals with the memories of two brothers and a family likeness.

  • A Tale of Four Stockings

    Christmas 1870 is their first together as a family, and Teresa aims to ensure it's special.

  • Past Imperfect

    Eliot Series, No.1: It's early 1872 and the Lancer family are attending the wedding of Jim McIntyre and Alicia Burke. Although a sequel to 'From Highlands to Homecoming', this story stands in its own right as the first of a series. 'Past Imperfect' is essentially a 'Scott' story, but 'Johnny' girls should not despair. He definitely has his moments.

  • Family Reunion

    This is a Lancer family reunion with a difference. Warning: some bad language.

  • Halloween

    Drabble: What scares Harlan Garrett?

  • What's in a Name?

    Not a story but four short poems developed from the names of the Lancer men.

  • Five Facts for Day Pardee

    Ever wondered about Day Pardee's background?

  • Pass the Parcel

    Drabble: This drabble in verse depicts the nanny's view of Scott's 5th birthday party.

  • The Face of a Father

    Drabble: The title says everything that can be said without spoiling the story.
