Someday an Overhaul

I know it has been a long time since I updated the Webmansion, and I would lay all my health woes upon you if there was something you could do about them. Since there is nothing, I won't bother. However, I seem to be getting to a place between stories and afflictions where I can get to work on the site: updating new story appearances, schedules, and finally getting to work on the Jaggers & Shad page.  Thank you for your patience, those of you who were patient. The rest . . . well, what can I say? It was either take what time I had to work on this site or write stories. Guess what won?

SAINT MARY BLUE
What do you do when you find yourself in Minneapolis and you've lost your instructions on how to be a human?

Saint Mary Blue

Once upon a time in a place called Minneapolis, there was a drug rehab named Saint Mary's Rehabilitation Center. Years later it would come under new management and become known as Fairview Recovery Services. What the men and women went through in the old Saint Mary's is what the men and women in FRS are going through right now. It's a course for those whose only answer for what's killing them is . . . what's killing them. It's a high stakes study: grow up or die.

SAINT MARY BLUE is a fictional treatment of what a bunch of very real people went through with me when I researched this particular novel the hard way in January of 1982. It's a tragedy, a comedy, a coming of age story, and a tale of many redemptions. Click on the icon for more.
