    A.P. Fuchs TwitterYou know, you read all these different articles on how to properly use Twitter. Some say to tweet a couple of times a day, others to interact with folks regularly, others say a mix of the two . . . . I guess it depends on your goals and why you have your Twitter feed to begin with. In my case, it’s to talk with readers, meet new people, get some news on the topics that interest me, and also to tell people about my books.
    It’s also a source of content for this blog as once in a while I’ll post a Twitter capture of what I’m talking about on there, or post a rant about something.

    What do you use Twitter for?

    Here’s what’s been going on on my feed since the 31, the most recent tweet being the one on top.

    @topshelfcomix Any word on when the Bacchus Omnibus will be out? Been excited for it since I heard about it a couple years back. Pls advise.

    @guaybrian Thanks for the retweet!

    Paperback ISBN: 978-1-927339-19-0
    eBook ISBN: 978-1-927339-20-6

    If only relationships were simple. While debating whether to reveal his secret identity to Valerie, Gabriel’s personal plans are put on hold when darkness descends upon the city, each building, street and alley covered in a strange black cloud akin to those from the Doorway of Darkness. Only these clouds didn’t descend from the sky. They came from a mysterious shadowy being known as Bleaken.

    With the city under the tyrant’s control, pandemonium ensues and violence erupts on the streets. Screams, gunshots and sirens fill the air; fires are lit, blood is shed and people begin to die.

    Axiom-man must navigate the darkness and put an end to Bleaken’s reign of terror before the entire city is destroyed under a veil of black clouds and violence.

    Meanwhile, having grown closer as friends, Valerie races into the dark, trying to find Gabriel to make sure he’s safe, only to succumb to a band of madmen on the way that take her down a tunnel of torture and despair that threatens her sanity and soul. If she doesn’t escape, her fate will be sealed and she will meet an end worse than death.

    With all hope lost and the city covered in a sea of black clouds, Axiom-man must learn what it takes to truly shine as a light in a dismal place and stand strong against the tides of darkness emanating from all sides.

    For now. I use this space 99% of the time when writing a new book and this week is all about writing. I’m still oh so behind on projects and not for lack of working. I’ve been very busy, and anyone in this biz will tell you that the production side of a project–not so much the creation–takes a long while as you spit shine it and put on its dancing shoes. That said, I’m eons behind finishing Redemption of the Dead. Between City of Ruin and the digital side of Axiom-man No. 3, and some Coscom Entertainment projects, it fell by the wayside. The crazy part is, I have about 16 days to finish it, edit it, have my editor edit it, produce it and go to press if there’s any hope of making copies available for C4 Comic Con this year. And I have to have them there as C4 is important to my family’s financial stability.
    That said, yeah, I got to knock out about 12,000 words a day if there’s a chance, so that’s why I’ve switched offices and went to the one where I’m most comfortable. Cool part is, working like this rarely makes me sleepy, so I know I’m going to produce.
    Where’s your favorite place to make something?
    Let’s do this. Say a prayer for me.

    Paperback ISBN: 978-1-927339-17-6
    eBook ISBN: 978-1-927339-18-3

    Coscom Entertainment is pleased to announce that Mothman Emerged by Gina Ranalli is now available.

    “Prepare yourself for an intense trip into darkness. Gina Ranalli has given the Mothman an edge that’s both awesome and has teeth.” – Eric S. Brown, author of the Bigfoot War series

    Something is amiss in the small town of Lockwood, Washington. Something terrifying has been emerging from the surrounding woods in the dead of night: unspeakable creatures with glowing eyes and razor-sharp talons, swooping down upon unsuspecting citizens on silent black wings.

    When the first call comes in, Sheriff Steven Collie scoffs, but soon he and his officers have run-ins of their own, ones that no known science can explain. He quickly becomes a believer of the impossible and when a clandestine branch of the FBI arrives in town to investigate the strange happenings and grotesque deaths, all of Lockwood is under siege and praying for daybreak.

  • Axiom-man — Now an Offical Member of the Justice League of America . . .

    . . . in DC Universe Online, anyway (available for free download for PC and PS3). The other day I saved Superman from Lex Luthor and was officially invited to the Hall of Justice and bestowed a Justice League emblem and an offical induction into the League.

    This game has become a pretty big part of my life lately and is especially cool because I get to play as my own superhero character, Axiom-man. First Axiom-man was in novels, then in comics, then in cosplay . . . and now is active in the DCU.

    Of course, he’s not a DC Comics character and is exclusive property of Coscom Entertainment, but to “role play” as him so to speak–takes it to a new level, especially since he has superpowers in the game, something you can’t get out of cosplay.

    Below are some screen shots of Axiom-man in the DCU. I was able to get his costume pretty close based on the templates/formats available for players. Also in the shots below he’s wearing his Justice League emblem–given to him by Oracle–which he only wears in-game, at least for now.

  • Minor Restructuring for 2012

    Coscom Entertainment and Torn Veil Books pretty much are one-man operations. My wife helps me out now and then–mailing stuff, helping at comic con–but doesn’t work for me directly nor spends her days by my side as I write, edit and package stories for you guys.

    This year she might be joining the Fuchs publishing team–is it a “team” if it’s just one person? har har–and taking on some duties that take me away from making books and comics. So that’s what she and I are doing this afternoon: I’m training her on some bookkeeping so that, down the road, it’ll be something I don’t have to worry about. This is ultra exciting for me because, though I spend most of my time publishing others, I’m also a creator myself and have that burning desire within to get my ideas out on paper lest I go crazy. By my wife helping out, this will allow me more creative free time and allow me to write more books and draw more comics.

    These are the current changes happening behind-the-scenes here at Fuchs Central, changes that I’m confident will lead to stronger and more successful publishing companies. But, of course, those who ultimately make or break us will be you guys. We hope you continue to support with us as we provide you with solid literary entertainment going into the New Year and beyond.

  • Getting Bored, Need to Work

    I’m supposed to be on holidays, and though last week was pretty relaxing on the whole and I only worked a bit, I’m finding I’m getting bored trying to take it easy and not work. This week I’ve been going slow–on purpose–and am enjoying the leisurely working hours, but I also have this deep desire to just buckle down and work like a dog. Then I remember that I have between next week and summer break for that so I should enjoy this while it lasts.

    I think I’ll get stuff done this week but on my own terms without worrying too much about deadlines, then get down to business next week as I officially get the 2012 publishing year off the ground.

    Lots of cool stuff coming out both from Coscom Entertainment and Torn Veil Books this year.

    Providing the world doesn’t end, this is going to be a big year in publishing.

    Watch this space for announcements, and likewise stop by Coscom Entertainment and Torn Veil Books for the latest news and releases.

    Lots is happening.

  • New Year, Back to Blogging

    As previously mentioned, this year I’m going to get back into daily blogging so that from Monday to Friday you got something new to read. Might even blog Saturdays now and then.
    As of this writing, I’m still technically on holidays but I’m finding it hard not to work, so every day I’ve been doing something(s) publishing-wise. I got plenty of books backlogged so my first goal of the New Year is to take care of those. I’m hoping to have it all wrapped up by end of March, then “start new,” so to speak.
    Also got some cool stuff happening behind-the-scenes that I can’t talk about yet, but if all goes to plan, it’ll be a year of explosive growth for Coscom Entertainment and Torn Veil Books.
    Here’s to 2012.

    2011 was a busy year publishing-wise, my time divided between running Coscom Entertainment and Torn Veil Books, while also spending time getting my own ideas out of my head and onto paper.

    All-in-all, this year I managed to publish 14 books and 6 comics.

    Not too shabby.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t meet my writing goals nor some of my comic book aspirations but, hey, there’s always 2012.

    This is what was published this year:
