"2nd Edition"(New Revised edition.)
- Hardback and Soft-cover Editions-
“Messages” 2nd Edition, is a completely revised edition of the original work. It is a project put together at Baseline International Publishing who took the original work and retooled it to produce a 100% better result. No one aspect of the book remained untouched; the book cover was completely redone along with improvements of the interior graphics and script for the lettering. Baseline international Publishing LLC pulled no punches when they took on the "2nd Edition Messages'" project and worked directly with a premier printer to produce what is sure to be a trend setting work that will not only stand strong through the test of time but gain momentum as more of the literary community becomes aware of its presence. A clothing line of T-shirts of the illustrations found inside the book is also available. Click on the "Wear your Message" link below to get more information.

"Messages" A book of 'Poetic -Philosophy' "1st Edition"; A few copies still available
“Messages” is a book of poetic-philosophy. This is the only classification that truly fits the combination of words found within this book. In fact, when it was completed, it truly did not fit into any of the current genres of poetry. Only in crossing these two (poetry and philosophy) figurative concept can you capture the essence of the book. It combines aspects of general poetry (rhyming verse), aspects of abstract poetry (non-rhyming verse) and philosophy (free flowing thoughts).

"Backboard Warrior" (Short Novel, Play ?)
Despair, escape, survival, these are the daily thoughts that assail Mathew Joshua Hood, he was born to a hostile world where in all appearances it seemed he was four steps behind from the onset. He and his family reside on what he sees as a tenuous beachhead in a continuous war for true freedom and acceptance outside of the prison walls of prejudice and hate built by his society. Born with the heart of a warrior his rage is sometimes without bounds, he fights as mush against himself as against the debasing aspects of his world at large. The basketball court has become his primary field of battle and upon it he wages war with the skills of long dead generals. The question in all of this being, will he develop the focused discipline to become a soldier before the fires of his warriors heart engulfs all that he holds dear?
