Risks Of Departure - Part 2

Something is happening this year. I can't explain it but my desire to write is increasing. Things that were taking up my time before are becoming less important. God has done something to me inside and I'm digging it. This is a wonderful feeling because once something like this starts to happen, it confirms in your heart that this is what you're supposed to be doing. Writers need that kind of affirmation to keep going.

At the moment I'm working on two major projects. One is a graphic novel I've titled Twelve. The other is a novel titled The Different Ones. I'm finding that working on more than one project at the same time keeps me writing which in turn will make me more productive .


In addition, I have more good news. I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.

No. Seriously. The Justice Directive sample, another graphic novel proposal which you can find on this blog, will be published later on this year. It's slated to be printed some time this summer.


Posting my past work here is a joy for me because it serves as another sign of the ability that God has blessed me with. I remember when I went through my old stuff and was amazed at all the stories and things I had written. It reminds me of that simple, timeless adage for writers. Writers write.


Today, I'm posting the second part of the Ellium: Hybrid anthology story Risks Of Departure. As I said before, people tended to like this story and me and the publisher talked about continuing the story as a separate endeavor more than a few times. The story definitely has the capacity to be expanded. Whether that will come to fruition remains to be seen.

Risks Of Departure - Part 1


This short story is part one of an eight page piece I did with artist Paul Tucker for the 2004 anthology Ellium : Hybrid. I loved the mood that his art conveyed for this and it seemed to be a favorite of people who picked up the book.


We were given freedom to write stories based in the Ellium world. Elluim is a wordlwide organization that guides global affairs through various covert means. There are a couple factions within the organization and they are at odds with one another.

After being given the background information on this, I decided to write a story where one of the agents of Ellium, a top operative named Silas Corbin, wanted to leave. But Ellium is not one of those organizations that you just leave. It's like being in a gang. Once you are in, you in for life.


I'm posting this in two parts because eight pages just seems like a lot to click through.
