Forthcoming: Audio Editions

Posted on February 12, 2020 9:04 am by A.P. Fuchs

As part of the original conception of Project Rebirth, creating audio editions of my work is on the docket. These will occur sometime after this year because the reissues of Project Rebuild and the publishing of new work are priority.

I’ve dabbled in audio before. I recorded the first Axiom-man book many, many years ago as a free download (sorry, I no longer have the files to this and it was pulled from the original distributor many years back). I also recorded a video reading of the first four (I think) chapters of Blood of the Dead, which aired on my old YouTube channel (here’s the new channel). The first bit of Blood of the Dead was also recorded as an audio drama on an old zombie podcast back in the day (it was really cool).

This is the next step for the books once I’m caught up on everything else.

Please accept this blog entry as mere notice that audio editions are on the horizon, but due to the number of books I’ve written and the time it takes to properly record them and package them, audio book releases are still a decent ways off into the future.

But no fear! You can still read all my novels in book form in paperback and eBook by visiting the Book and Comic Shop.

Enjoy your day.

Posted on February 10, 2020 9:44 am by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man/Auroraman: Frozen Storm Copies Have Shipped

At long last, the Axiom-man/Auroraman: Frozen Storm copies have shipped and went out last week. Auroraman creator Jeff Burton now has them for his signature and Kickstarter fulfillment. Those who ordered the tiers with the Frozen Storm paperback and/or the Frozen Storm limited lettered edition will now get their copies once Jeff’s signature is in place.

Thank you for your patience throughout this campaign.

Here is a video showcasing the editions. While you saw the paperbacks hot off the press in one video and the lettered edition in a separate unboxing video, here they are together.

Please subscribe to the YouTube channel to be notified of new videos.

If you missed the Kickstarter and want a copy of Frozen Storm, please go here to order the paperback and/or eBook from a retailer of your choice.

There are a few copies of the special lettered edition left so if you’d like a copy, please inquire via email.

Thanks.

Notice: Going Dark for the Week

Posted on February 2, 2020 10:53 am by A.P. Fuchs

Going dark.

In an effort to make sure the reissue and new release schedules are on track, I’ll be offline this week so no blog entries until I return. (I might post something if I need variety but that’s a maybe.) Feel free to check back every day just in case and/or surf the blog for past entries to get caught up on anything you missed. Also, my social feeds are on automated Broadcast Mode so I cannot be reached there. If you’re a Patreon subscriber, this week’s post for the Essays tier will show up in the Patreon feed on your pocket computer (or on the website on the non-pocket computer). It’s an essay on how to always keep your audience engaged.

If you are a client, please use email. If you are a reader and need to reach me, please use email. Please note that email is very low priority so unless I owe you a project (which I can identify by the sender), most likely emails will be replied to upon my return. If it’s an emergency, then you know who you are who has that kind of access.

Enjoy your week, everyone. See you on the other side in Saturday’s newsletter.

To keep busy while I’m away, here are some suggestions:

Surf my YouTube channel and subscribe to check out all the latest videos and be notified of new ones.

Read Gigantigator Death Machine on Patreon.

Read back issues of The Canister X Transmission and be sure to subscribe to receive a letter from me every Saturday in your inbox.

Review the social feeds to the right if viewing this entry on a standard web browser to make sure you and I are connected on your various social networks. If you are viewing this on your computerized telephone, type “A.P. Fuchs” into your social network’s search bar and you’ll find me.

Relax and take care of yourself however that might look like.

See you.

First Batch of Releases 2020

First Batch of Releases 2020.

With Project Rebuild underway, we’re getting into that season I’ve been talking about for the past while: release season.

Though the project list between new stuff and the reissues is long, here is the short-term release schedule with an estimate on timeframe. (Times to be locked down next week so the below is a rough guide. Things will probably happen faster but I’m giving breathing room just in case.)

Current Project Rebuild titles:

Blood of the Dead – later February 2020
Possession of the Dead – later February 2020
Redemption of the Dead – later February 2020

New release:

Gigantigator Death Machine – First half of 2020

We’ll revisit this list as time goes on.

Also note Gigantigator Death Machine is currently airing on my Patreon as a serial novel. You can read it early by going here (just a buck a month plus it’s a way to support me as a creator; new chapter every two weeks).

The method to the madness here is seeing where things are at after the first round of reissues. This will inform the timing of the next batch of reissues and the next new release, but for now, let’s focus on First Batch of Releases 2020.

There are more cool things happening behind the scenes but I haven’t gotten into them publicly. Some details are still being ironed out (involves other people) so if/when I’m able to talk about it, I will. Regardless, these processes behind the scenes are working and all is on track.

Have a good day.

Appearance Announcement: FanQuest

Posted on January 20, 2020 10:24 am by A.P. Fuchs

I’m pleased to announce I’ll be attending FanQuest in June in Winnipeg (specific dates still being determined; please keep an eye on my Convention and Book Signing Schedule for them). You’ll find me tabling there with author Melinda Marshall. I’ll bring loads of monster and superhero books and art for you to check out and enjoy.

FanQuest is a newish show. I think I’ve tabled it twice in the past. Regardless, it’s good times.

See you at the show.

Appearance Announcement: Winnipeg Comiccon

Posted on January 10, 2020 9:16 am by A.P. Fuchs

Please note I will be tabling at the Winnipeg Comiccon on October 30 to November 1, 2020. You’ll find me and author Melinda Marshall in Artist Alley with a couple of tables full of monster and superhero books, comics, and art.

This is the first show I’m booked for since taking a break from conventions and appearances in 2018-2019.

I’m looking forward to it. See you there.

Project Rebuild Notice: Undead World Trilogy

Posted on January 7, 2020 7:34 am by A.P. Fuchs

Project Rebuild Notice: Undead World Trilogy.

This notice is to inform you all three books in my Undead World Trilogy are the first on the docket for Project Rebuild (the name I gave in my newsletter to the “things to finish” category from stuff leftover from Project Rebirth).

From now until their re-release, the books will remain available in their original first-edition formats for my readers who want a first-edition collection of my work. When it’s near time to publish the reissues, these original formats will be removed from sale so please don’t delay and grab your copies now before they’re gone.

Also note Project Rebuild is very time-consuming thus my free content for the web will slow down a little. Daily blogging, the newsletter, and YouTube videos will continue but the content will shift a little so I ensure this rebuilding project gets completed.

Thanks.

Ps. A new essay was posted to Patreon today that discusses spontaneous book or comic marketing and gives ideas on how you can market your project at the drop of a hat. Read it here.

Recap Tunnel: Reviewing 2019

Posted on December 20, 2019 10:31 am by A.P. Fuchs

Background: A Superman intarsia clock I made in junior high.
Foreground: a Lego Enterprise (a gift from my son)

Very soon the Timeline of All Things goes into a new decade so it’s fair to begin reviewing 2019.

Soon we’ll all be taking some time to think and reflect and look forward to the 2020s with excitement and a little fear.

Soon everyone on Earth will have to get used to writing 2020 when they date something.

This is a heads up that between now and when the year closes out, some blog entries will show up recapping various items from the past year in an effort to play some good old-fashioned “remember when.”

First up, and solely because I want to give people time and not do it at the last-minute, my freelance rates are changing January 1, 2020, so if you would like someone to edit your book/comic, design your book/comic cover, layout the interior, or do custom artwork, please go here to see my current rates and extensive experience. I will honor 2019’s rates if I’m booked by the end of the day on December 31 even if you’re project won’t be ready for me to work on until early in the New Year.

Second up are the Public Journals. These are the entries that are titled, “On Fill-in-the-blank.” I’m thinking of making a page here on the site linking to them all. They regularly air on social media. These have been fun to do and are a bit cathartic. Due to their short nature, they are good for voicing an opinion or concern without going on and on about it. In short, they are meant to be straight, brief, and to the point. Feel free to poke around the blog to track down the entries. You can make a game out of it. (Or just use this cheat link.)

Have a good day, people.

Remember, The Canister X Transmission goes out tomorrow. Be sure to subscribe here so you don’t miss it.

Gearing Up for the Holidays

Posted on December 18, 2019 10:13 am by A.P. Fuchs

Christmas snowman doing reverse chin-ups.

I’ve officially entered that season where I’m gearing up for the Holidays. And I know I’m gearing up for the Holidays because I’ve hit my wall after four months of going hard trying to rebuild my career after being ill for so long. Next week is Christmas week and I’m taking the week off effective Sunday. Daily blog posts are still planned as is the newsletter. If you’re a Patreon subscriber, the behind-the-scenes tier airs next week. But that’s pretty much it for me for the Holidays. I’ll be back in full swing the week after.

Also, I have a Christmas thing planned for both Patreon and this blog (both different special Christmas things), so make sure you’re hooked up to All Things A.P. Fuchs before next week rolls around so you get everything.

In the end, this break is needed. I plan to read, sleep, watch a little TV, and eat and visit.

Emails will be replied to when I get back.

– A.P. Fuchs

Ps. Today on my Patreon page was a Patron-first Announcement revealing the real title of Project Jackass. As a patron, you get project reveal news before anyone else. Subscribe today for as little as a buck to make sure you’re always in the loop.
