Canister X – A.P. Fuchs: Zombie, Paranormal Romance and Superhero Novelist, Blogger, Artist, Publisher

My publisher copies of Metahumans vs the Undead: A Superhero vs Zombie Anthology (edited by me) and Bigfoot War 3: Food Chain (by Eric S. Brown) came in the mail today.

Wow.

These books are beautiful. Turned out awesome. I’m really proud to get behind these books and put them out there for readers.

Here are front-and-back pics of the books.

Those of you who are in my inner circle know that I keep very busy, usually with 7-8 projects on the go at any one time. Usually, those projects are not my own but those of whom I publish. Sometimes some of them are mine.

This year has been a hectic year, namely running from around July through September and into October in which I worked like a mad man, trying to get everything done for the C4 Comic Con. As a result, I burnt myself out and November was a hard month for me workwise. I’m anything but a lazy guy and in November I felt kind of empty inside, my drive and passion for what I do still there, but the desire to carry it out was muted. I was tired all the time. No matter how much sleep I got, it wasn’t enough. Something broke internally during the July – Sept. marathon and November was the month I paid the price for it.

Anyway, December was much more productive, and as we head into 2012, I’ve been thinking about what the beginning of the New Year will look like for me, both for my personal work and those that I publish. That said, I’m eager to get going, but am taking a Christmas break before getting back into the swing of things, ensuring I’m recharged to the max before going hardcore again.

As a starting point, I want to get back into daily blogging. I really enjoyed posting something daily for you guys and plan on getting back into that starting the New Year. Likewise, Zomtropolis will resume and will conclude. Free installments will be on Fridays like before. Then the book will be bigtime edited and prepped for publication. I’m still hoping to keep the book online for free once it’s done, whether as chapter-by-chapter like it is now, or a simple eBook download in a multitude of formats.

Also coming–I promise–will be the new Axiom-man book. I felt like a goon at C4 this year because I didn’t have a new Axiom-man story for the fans despite aiming to. Sure, I published a few new books this year, but Axiom-man is overdue for one–the last one, The Dead Land, was in 2008–so I need to get the latest adventure out before June 2012. I have to.

I also am going to wrap up The Undead World Trilogy.

Those aforementioned books are priority in 2012. Anything above and beyond that is bonus.

This is a little of what you can expect from me in the New Year.

In the meantime, Happy New Years, everyone. Hope it’s a good one. Stay safe. God bless.

I hope you all have an amazing day with family, friends and loved ones.

And if you’re alone this Christmas, or this time of year is difficult for you for any reason, remember that Christmas celebrates the One who came to Earth to connect with you and be with you. All you need to do is reach out and believe. Jesus’ll take care of the rest.

Merry Christmas.

The Same Six Questions have posted their interview with me, in which we talk about which of my characters I’d like to meet in real life, when I knew I wanted to be a writer, what my first long piece of fiction was, and more.

The interview can be found here.

Thanks.

Christopher Nolan and team has just released the new official trailer for next summer’s The Dark Knight Rises. Just like the teaser, it shows you everything but nothing at the same time. What I found particularly interesting about this new trailer is that Batman is hardly in it, something you wouldn’t think would be part of a trailer promoting a superhero movie.

It’s enough of a hook that makes me wish I could pre-order my ticket to the box office now than wait another seven months.

Here’s the trailer:

As for the poster, folks online have been finding hidden elements. The first two were nods to the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel movie: the S shield. (Seen in blue.)

My good buddy, Doug Mann–be the Captain Attention-to-Detail guy that he is–pointed out to me a couple more: the famous stitch marks as worn by serial killer Zsasz, as well as a shadowy shot of the Bat cowl. (Seen in red.)

As promised, Canister X Comix have now hit the Amazon Kindle and I’m really excited about this as I know that the future of single-issue comics lies in the eBook/eComic arena. Now I got stuff there on the ground floor. It served me well when eBooks finally exploded and I know it’ll be the same when comics catch up digitally as well. I don’t mind waiting because that day is fast approaching.

Anyway, the first three issues of Canister X Comix are now available for immediate download to your Kindle or Kindle app. (The apps are free, btw.)

Simply follow the links below to check them out and view the free preview.

Thanks in advance for your support. Enjoy.
