Evangeline ~ A Hannibal Heyes Love Story

Quick Update

Sorry it's taking me so long to get the next chapter done. I have rewritten one part about four times. I'm just not happy with it and I'm not going to post it until I think it is right. I hope you all understand. But I promised myself I wouldn't post if I wasn't happy with it and I'm going to keep that promise. And I also wanted to share an update on how "Evangeline" is doing on Wattpad. First of all I changed the title, because the majority of readers on that site are teens and twenty somethings, so they have no clue who Hannibal Heyes is, so I changed the title to "Thief of My Heart." When I did that I started getting hits like crazy. I checked a few minutes ago and my story is #3 of all historical romance fictions. That's # 3 out of 9,249 stories. Over 53,000 reads. That's a lot of people who now know who Hannibal Heyes is. I owe it all to the fantastic characters of Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry. And to the fantastic actors, Pete Duel and Ben Murphy for bringing them to life. Without them Evangeline would never have existed.

Here again is the link to the Wattpad site if anyone would like to go there:

And here again is the link to my Evangeline Facebook page. This is a page where you can discuss anything related to the story, my writing, Peter, Ben AS&J or if you just want to get to know some of the other people who are reading. This is a closed group page and no one will see your posts except other members of the group. And none of the posts from the page will be seen on the news feed page.

Heaps of love, Karen :')

Are You Watching Me Now

I've made some awesome new friends and fellow AS&J/Peter/Ben fans on The Pete Duel/ Ben Murphy fan page on facebook. One of the recent doc files started was to post your favorite songs that remind you of Peter or Ben. Of course you all should know by now that I'm a written in stone Peter fan, so naturally I have dozens of songs which remind me of him. And several that I feel he has shared with me. But this song is very special to me when it comes to Peter. And if you've seen the movie, "A Star is Born" then you know this song. I posted this song on the facebook page as the one that most makes me think of Peter and I thought I would very much like to share the lyrics with everyone. They are so moving and powerful, sung by a woman to the love of her life just after his death.

I've posted the video so you can hear and read the lyrics at the same time.
If you are one of the many I have discovered who love Peter and are connected with his spirit then this song will resonate with you. I hope you all enjoy it.

With one more look at you...
I could learn to tame the clouds and let the sun shine through.
Leave a troubled past and I might start anew.
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize.
Refresh these tired eyes...
With one more look at you...
I might overcome the anger
That I've learned to know.
Find a peace of mind I lost so long ago.
Your gentle touch has made me strong again.
And I belong again...
For when you look at me
I'm everything and more than I had dreamed I'd be.
My spirit feels a promise
I won't be alone
We'll love and live more
Love and live forever.
With one more look at you...
I'd learn to change the stars and change our fortunes too.
I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too.
So all the world might share this wondrous sight.
The world could end each night....
With one more look at you.
With one more look at you.
I want one more look at you.

Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now.
Your eyes are like fingers
Touching my body
Arousing me so.
I'm riding the passion arising inside me.
How high can I go?
You're coming with me. I'm gonna show you how.
And when it's scary. I won't look down.
Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now.
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me, urging me, urging me on.
Higher and harder and its faster and farther
Than I've ever been.
Your pleasure is part of the secret of flight that I've found.
When I think like an eagle my soul has no place on the ground.
Born out of madness, I double the danger with no net at all.
If you don't look away, I'm secure in the fact that you won't let me fall.
Are you watching me now?
Watch closely now.
I'm the master magician who'll help you escape
from the lies you've been told.
When they're breaking your back
Bring the last straw to me
I'll turn straw into gold.
I break chains made of boredom
That others have lived with for years.
I leave good news on doorsteps
And laughs where there used to be tears.
I'm gonna need you later
when you're not around.
But I can take it.
I won't look down.
Watch closely now.
Are you watching me now?
Watch me now.

Are you watching me now?

Facebook Page for Evangeline

I have created a group page for my story on facebook. I recently discovered a wonderful group page for Pete/Ben fans and I really like it. So I thought it would be nice to have one for Evangeline. It is a closed group so no one except members of the group can see your posts. If you would like to be in the group go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/368075526548415/

Hope to see you all on facebook.

Love and peace,
Karen :')

Perfection

A huge thank you to Glenda for sending me this photo. It is my all time favorite picture of Peter. Why?
Well, let's see. He has no shirt on. He's smiling and happy in the sun. He has no shirt on. He is so adorable holding that bunny. It was taken 1967, the year I was born. It looks like he is sporting a nice tan. And.....he has no shirt on.

Yes, baby. Just sit there and continue to be perfect. We'll just be perfectly content to sit and stare.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. It is entirely dedicated to my fanfiction story about Hannibal Heyes finding a true love. Everything here is somehow AS&J related. If you're an "Alias Smith and Jones" Fan, everything on my blog is familiar to you. If you're not a fan or you've never heard of "Alias Smith and Jones" or Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, I hope visiting my blog will introduce you to them and make you a fan. And just to let everyone know, while I adore the show and both characters my loyalty always has and always will lie with Pete Duel's Hannibal Heyes. I have always been and will always be an unapologetic, faithful, unwavering, die hard fan of Pete's and his character.

Karen's Favorites ~ My Favorite AS&J Episodes and why

Here's a list of my top 10 favorite episodes and one of the things about each one that makes it a favorite. I have added more than one for the top three. I could probably make a whole other blog about why I love my top 3. But I'll try to keep it short here.

10. "The Pilot" The "Walk off" scene is exquisite.

9. "Journey from San Juan" Heyes is unwaiveringly adorable throughout. "Captain McRavish"

8. "Stagecoach 7" Heyes shoots his gun! (and if you watch really close, he gets his shots off a whole lot quicker than Kid)

7. "Wrong Train to Brimstone" The synchronized hoist up into the train car. And Pete looks fabulous in this one.

6. "Jailbreak at Junction City" "...somethin' smells around here." "Maybe the way you play poker."

5. "Smiler With a Gun" The boys collapsing onto each other in exhaustion - fantastic acting.

4. "The Day They Hanged Kid Curry" I can't pick just one moment. I think the whole episode is hilarious.

3. "The Reformation of Harry Briscoe" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps. "If either of you boys would care to join us in the fellowship of evening prayer..." and the entire scene that follows. "Mr. Smiff." Shoshone. Heyes defends a woman! "It's Smith sweetheart." "I get terrible claustrophobee!"

The dive behind the bush. Kid takes four hits before losing at blackjack.

2. "The Bounty Hunter" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps....oh, God the chaps. The bear hug. From "Heyes, look what's goin' on down there." to "Let's not make it a habit" is perfection. Especially getting to see Heyes use his gun. "Wait 'til I tell you. Alright, get down." Heyes' entire story about the mayor's daughter and the church suits and the wedding cake...absolutely perfect and hilarious. Heyes and Kid's explanation as to why it's inconceivable that they could be the notorious outlaws. The boys are willing to risk their own necks to report the injustice of what happens to Joe.

1. "The Posse That Wouldn't Quit" Lots of Heyes on horseback. Heyes in his undies. Heyes sings. The Kid shows off his nice butt and his shooting skill. The horse race to the picnic spot. The girls and their crushes. The love that grows between our boys and this family. "Did you have an Apache with you?" "Must be the entire devil's hole gang." "Hang little girls." The Kid looses yet another coin toss. The only time we ever hear Kids full name "Jedediah Curry. Shoshone and Carroll. Heyes in disguise as an unruly drunk. And OMG, when he says "Don't move a hair boys," his voice is so deep and sexy I can hardly take it.

"I got rid of my mustache, why don't you get rid of yours?" Heyes tosses his tattered old hat into the air and it lands on the street as they speed off into the next episode. The only thing that could have made this episode better would have been the boys wearing chaps and Heyes shooting his Smith and Wesson.
