From The Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau comes another piece in a new genre of entertainment: a photonovel that enchants and fictionalizes the history of Joplin, Missouri.

A young man and former Joplinite named Lee returns home to visit his ailing — perhaps even dying — mother, but when Lee asks his uncle for a visiting time, his uncle refuses to let him see his own mom. Frustrated, Lee wanders downtown and meets two other out-of-towners — a historian of sorts and a geologist with a strange specialization. They’ve come to protect Joplin from a coming disaster but to do so they’ll have to solve a mystery hidden in Joplin’s past.

A mystery involving Lee’s mother.

  1. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be seeing. I’ve entered my email. I followed the link to Lances website. All I can see is the title pics for the separate characters.
    Is there something more?

    Ps – my daughter is in one of these scenes so It’s very near and dear to us

  2. Can I be added to the mailing list. I love this! Can we have a chapter on McClelland School house? I went to school there in the 50’s . would love to help.

    1. Hi Cynthia! That sounds so fun. This particular project is all wrapped up now- we’re releasing new chapters, but they’re already shot and written. I always keep great locations like that in the back of my mind for future projects, though!

    1. I’ve tried it on 4 different devices and 3 different browsers, and some pics on chap 16 are not working, and most of the pics on chap 17 & 18 are not loading.
