Pamphlets
Periodicals
Chaz's writings have appeared in dozens of newspapers and magazines since the early 1970s, including Utne Reader, The Match!, Processed World, Freedom, Counterpoise, Communities, New Times Weekly (now Phoenix New Times), and Eye. At present he normally writes for periodicals only upon request.
Current Writing Projects
Chaz is currently revising his as-yet-untitled science fiction novel concerning cults, political repression, and interstellar colonization. He expects to finish the (supposedly) final revision by the end of the year — although the temptation to dink around with it once it's "finished" will be almost overwhelming.
Chaz is also currently translating Venezuela: Revolution as Spectacle, by Venezuelan anarchist writer Rafael Izcategui. The book will be published in the Summer or early Fall 2010.
Once those two projects are finished, Chaz has several nonfiction projects waiting in the wings, and, assuming that one of the sci-fi houses picks up his novel, he plans to write a sequel to it.
Current Music Projects
Chaz's other primary activity is music. His band, The Pinche Blues Band, released a five-track EP of original songs in 2007. (Chaz wrote the music and half the lyrics.) The songs are available here as free mp3 downloads:
- Postal
- Pinche Blues
- Incognito Lounge
- Slow Motion Suicide
- Breakdown in Lockdown
The band now has close to enough originals for two full CDs, and will probably record another five or so of those originals along with one or two favorite covers (hello Willie Edwards), prior to releasing a full CD with the new tracks and those on the EP sometime in 2010.
