Article Sample - Cross Movement


Yes. I would love to just write fiction for a living and be done with it. But in the real world of men, people have to eat and pay bills.

I have been published in several different publications. The question that may logically come up is "Where exactly have you been published? What have you written?" Both good questions.

The next few weeks will see the emergence of my personal writing portfolio. Today is an article I did on a very popular hip hop group called Cross Movement. This is right before their second CD emerged.

The editors of this magazine always called me by an old email handle I used to used called Digiprez even though I asked them several times to change it to P.R.E.Z. Small price to pay for being a freelance writer I suppose.

Feel free to click on the article. Float your cursor over the bottom right hand corner and you'll get an icon that you can click on to get a full view of the article in all its glory.

Justice Directive Preview - Part II


Yes, I realize that it's been a awhile but not to worry, there is definitely more material that will be posted on this blog because there is an awful lot of material that is being worked on.

If you read the preceding posts you'll know that one of the projects that I'm currently shopping is called The Justice Directive (for specific details on just what that story is about, read Justice Directive Preview - Part I). Me and my good friend Paul Tucker, currently galavanting about in Japan, finished this submission earlier this year. You've seen the first part so now I figured it was time to unveil the rest.

This second part takes you through pages five through nine.

I actually sent this out to two publishers, one being NBM Publishing, a major graphic novel publisher. I'll let you know how this went in my next post.

But for now, I welcome any comments you have about the preview in its entirety. Obviously the best way to read this is to start at the first preview and then read this one. Just remember that once you click on the images, you have to float the cursor over the bottom right hand corner of the image. A weird looking icon (I still don't know what that thing is. It looks like a hamburger or something) will appear. Click on it to enlarge the image.

Also, pages seven and eight are a two page spread. You have to read them across both pages in order to get the proper
sequence of events. Best way to do that is to open up both at the same time and put them side by side. Not a real hard thing to do actually.

The premise of this story really has me intrigued which is why I should probably go and work on the outline for this thing. Yes, I'm one of those writers that works better with some sort of outline so I know where the story is going ahead of time. In my mind, that just makes more sense.

O.K. Enough talk. I'm going to do a little work here.

Sigh....

Sometimes, you just have to wonder...


I have a job, my nine to five, which I don't like. Well...not the job but the people in it. Well...not the people (who are actually real cool) but just my boss. Anyone know what I'm talking about here?

My boss happens to be younger than me and is probably one of the most dishonest, lying individuals around. That's how he got to the position he's at. So it's no lie when you hear the corporate world being talked about in that fashion. On top of that, these people are rewarded for their fake smiles and extreme booty kissing. 


This sickens me. No character. I find working under him nearly unbearable and he knows I can't stand him. I have a feeling...well..without going into details, I know that I won't be there long.

Now, what's the point of this rant? Well, because of my lovely experience at work, it's given me an idea for a short story. I was talking to one of my co-workers about it. I told him what my tentative title would be and he laughed. I chuckled but I knew that writing this story was not going to be funny. It's not a comedy. The opposite in fact.


People choose their gods. Money. Sex. Job. Children. Spouse. But ultimately, the one that outweighs all of these is self. It's a lousy god. That's what this story will be about.

Oh....the title? Postal.
