Easton Series Character Profile - Deputy Jerry Blanca

The character profile for Easton Series character Deputy Jerry Blanca has been added to my website www.donnadolf.com.

DEPUTY JERRY BLANCA

Deputy Jerry Blanca was in his mid-20’s. He was just short of six feet tall, had short, reddish brown hair, a trim mustache, and blue eyes. He wore the Fresno County Sheriff Department’s tan uniform and cap. He has been with the Sheriff’s Department for four years and was from a long line of law enforcement officers. His family has a ranch in Madera County where he spends weekends when he is off-duty helping his mother, father and younger brother take care of the ranch.

He was a true animal lover and liked children. He was fond of the Sanders kids and spent time at the ranch helping Shelley Sanders aim all that energy into construction projects. The angels’ tended to uncover mysteries on the ranch in Easton on South West Avenue and Deputy Jerry visited the ranch often to help keep the “angels” out of trouble.

Jon has a problem and no one believes him when he tries to get help.

Jon’s mother, Sharon Hardy, has a medical problem and Jon worries about her getting the medical attention she needs.

Lauren Russell

Lauren Russell was 14. She was tall and thin with green eyes and waist length blond hair she wore in a braid down her back. She was the “new kid on the block.” Lauren and her widowed father, Alan Russell, live in the caretaker’s cottage deep in the almond orchard across the street from the Sanders Ranch. After Lauren’s mother unexpectedly died from appendicitis, Lauren was uprooted and moved to her father’s hometown of Easton, California.

Easton Series Characters - Sonja Bettencourt

Easton Harvest character, Sonja Bettencourt's bio has been added to the Easton Series Character page on my website www.donnadolf.com.

SONJA BETTENCOURT

Sonja Bettencourt was new to the Sanders Ranch. She was the tallest of the three with a cap of short red hair and a peaches and cream completion. As with most red heads she had a crop of freckles across the bridge of her nose. At 13, Sonja was bossy and had a temper to match her red hair.

Sonja had come to stay with Michael and Marian Sanders in August before school had started. Her mom had remarried recently. Sonja was having trouble adjusting to her new step-dad. She had been so unhappy she had run away. When her mom found her, Sonja cried because she didn’t feel like she belonged at home any more. Sonja’s step-dad, Jack Franken, was a real estate agent and was friends with Michael Sanders. It was Uncle Mike who had suggested Sonja come stay at the ranch for awhile. So here she was staying with the Sanders and she loved it. Sonja was proving to have a quirky sense of humor. She was keeping the Sanders household on its toes.

Easton Series Character Profiles

Two more profiles have been added to the Easton Series Characters page on my website www.donnadolf.com. Here are the bios of Kati McClellan and Robert Dewey:

KATI MCCLELLAN

Kati McClellan is a trim little girl with long, straight, brown hair that hangs to her waist. Kati stands taller than Jason but not as tall as Eric.

Kati came to stay at the Sanders Ranch when her father's job took him and her mother to Europe. Kati’s father had left her in the Sanders’ care when he received the ultimate promotion that was “too good” to refuse. Of course, Kati’s mother thought nothing about going with him and leaving Kati behind. They were traveling in Europe somewhere and Kati had no idea when they would return. Kati’s parents send post cards to their lonely daughter with the promise to return soon.

Kati is very seldom quiet. She is an ace at video games and holds the house record for Taxi. Kati is 13 and is proving to be a bit of a handful. Kati feels abandoned and spends her time taking her frustrations at being left behind out on those around her.

ROBERT DEWEY

Robert Dewey was a bully. He was 14 years old, short and round. His fine, brown hair was too long and hung in his eyes. His cheeks were full, round and red. He hardly had a chin, unless you counted his double chins. He was forever being told he was fat. The other kids called him lard butt behind his back, but he knew. Sometimes they’d call him that in a whisper, a loud whisper.

Robert liked animals but his dad wouldn’t let him have pets. The Dewey land sat fallow, nothing growing on it and no animals in the pasture to entertain an only child. Since his mother left, his dad acted like Robert had left too, leaving him alone most of the time. Robert started exploring the different ranches in his neighborhood when no one was around and his dad wasn’t home. Robert was fascinated with animals, he especially liked goats. Exploring the different ranches only made him feel more lonely.

Robert was not a happy boy. Robert wanted to punch someone.
