Barbie Lee has graciously allowed me to edit and post her new story, "Jessica Rabbit." It was originally posted last week at Fictionmania and, having read it, I felt it deserved to be here with so many other great stories.

I have corresponded with Barbie several times since then, doing the edit and making sure I would be able to do the story justice and abide by Barbie's requests that certain parts of the story remained unchanged regarding coloqualisms and other things. We have exchanged several emails and I believe I got it right.

When you read this great tale, picture the Texas Ranger in the story as if it were a part played by Tommy Lee Jones. It was the very first thing that struck me when I read it, and, although Barbie admits she didn't think of that at the time she wrote the story, she agreed that it would be perfect casting for Tommy.

Give this one a shot folks. You won't be disappointed if you like action, comedy, great characterizations, a solid plot, and all around great writing.

Hugs and love,
Catherine Linda Michel
