A.D. April 2015<\/strong><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n

My UTMOST apologies for such a long stretch between updates. How long has it been since this page has been updated? WAAAAAAAY TOO LONG!<\/p>\n

For those who have been keeping up with us, you already know that while the website has been dormant, Jericho Projects has not been! Our Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0has been quite active and has garnered over 360 likes. We\u2019ve hit Onyxcon<\/a> 6 last year (missed 5), hit the first ever Myrtle Beach Comic Con<\/a> last month and a couple of other things that I\u2019m going to mention.<\/p>\n

The mystery project mentioned back in August 2012 was completed the following year. The One Shot title, Av\u00f6rya<\/a>, is a story about a woman who dies and comes back to life as an angel. This book, however, is done in a photonovel style. For those who don\u2019t know, photonovels were popular back in the 70\u2019s and I decided to add my own twist to this technique where the entire book (except for the cover) is done in digital photography. It presented quite an interesting set of challenges or as we would say in corporate America, it presented \u2018learning opportunities\u2019. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Ms. Johnni issue 4<\/a> has also been completed as of last year. This book wrapped up the story arc started back in 2008 and what a ride it\u2019s been. I am quite pleased with the fact that this independent book started from nothing and has brought some enjoyment to people\u2019s lives. I\u2019m really driven to build on this and show other narratives of characters that are a part of this Jericho Projects universe. There are PLENTY of other stories and characters that I want y\u2019all to see!<\/p>\n

Jericho Projects also made our very first appearance in a major publication! An initiative started back in May 2011 to benefit victims of the Japanese tsunami disaster earlier that year finally saw the light of day in January of this year. The book, Japan Needs Heroes<\/a>, is now available on Red Giant Entertainment\u2019s page for just $10. Our contribution was a four page short starring Ms. Johnni. Many well known comic book professionals were involved in this project, including Stan Lee himself! Please get your copy and contribute to a worthy cause!<\/p>\n

What are our immediate plans for the future? Well, there tends to be quite a few children that we encounter and I\u2019m leaning toward a project, probably a book similar to a photonovel, aimed specifically at the younger crowd. I have a basic story idea, just have to work out the details.<\/p>\n

For the grown folks, I pitched an idea to my now wife, Stacy, a couple of years ago while sitting in the kitchen. It deals with a male character that was known for being inherently evil. He\u2019s intelligent, arrogant, doesn\u2019t listen well or work well with people. Despite this, he wants to change his ways but has a difficult time with it. She stated that the character sounded a lot like me. Everybody\u2019s got jokes.<\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s what\u2019s happening at the house of JP. I will do my best to keep this blog updated more frequently. Please support us so we can continue to give you our stories that are Unhinged, Untapped and Untold.<\/p>\n

May Jah Bless you all.<\/p>\n
