If a person grows up in the inner city and works hard (good grades, goes to college, earns a substantial degree), the first action this person performs upon reaching a somewhat successful status is LEAVE. In turn the inner city loses its most important assets, leaving these areas lacking positive role models. Well, “Black Boogiemen” is a fictional story about a charismatic leader that unites all of these successful men, and forces them to return to the worse parts of the inner city to LIVE.

JP: What’s next for Tallis Piaget?
TP: Well, I will continue to be the executive editor of Insight2Incite magazine (I also write for the magazine). I am working on a sequel to “Black Boogiemen”. (read more)
