Winnipeg Comic Con 2024 A.P. Fuchs and Melinda Marshall Books Unboxing – Dystopian YA and Monsters and Superheroes!

Winnipeg Comic Con is coming up on October 25, 2024, which is one week away from the posting of this video. Wonderful book stock just arrived and author Melinda Marshall and myself want to share the opening of these boxes with you because they contain new titles by both of us!

The big highlights are:

THE TYPHON PROJECT (Dystopian YA) by Melinda Marshall:

To save humanity, Leah is among the chosen for genetic modification. She is sent to The Typhon Project with the hope of finding a cure to save what’s left of the planet. But she can’t shake the suspicion something isn’t right.

CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS (Poetry) by A.P. Fuchs:

All right, World, this is how it’s going to be: Rhymes and verse, Melodies rehearsed, across life’s rocky sea. Read a poem, maybe two, pick three if you wish to dare. Ramblings and coherence, sometimes jots of incoherence, anything for poetic flare. Enjoy and explore, please do, I implore. Let’s talk about life bizarre ’cause it’s pretty complex stuff, said Harvey Pekar.

Publishing Books: The First Half of 2024 in Review

Posted on July 2, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Publishing Books: The First Half of 2024 in Review

Since we’re at the halfway mark of 2024, I thought this would be a good time to review what’s been published this year so far. Link to book page in the descriptions, but this is where we stand so far in publishing books this year.

There will be a publishing gap until later in the fall. There might be one thing, but that’s in floating status at the moment. The work is done. Just an issue of assembly.

AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY:

Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own. Not again. Meeting a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak, Axiom-man and this red stranger must fight their way through a hotel of madness where each new floor brings on a deadly challenge. Go to book page.

CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS: POETRY COLLECTION:

All right, World, this is how it’s going to be: Rhymes and verse, Melodies rehearsed, across life’s rocky sea. Read a poem, maybe two, pick three if you wish to dare. Ramblings and coherence, sometimes jots of incoherence, anything for poetic flare. Enjoy and explore, please do, I implore.

THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX:

Running from June 2020 to March 2024, readers received news straight from A.P. Fuchs’s bunker studio at Axiom-man Central that was meant to engage, entertain, and have some fun. Go to book page.

For all titles, please visit the Realm of Heroes and Monsters on Amazon.

Caught in Black Headlights Poetry Book Bestseller

Just a simple thank you to those who have been supporting my poetry book, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS. It means a lot that a book of verse and rhyme are catching peoples’ interest.

Of course, poetry had to lose out to superheroes and monsters, but who doesn’t love METAHUMANS VS THE UNDEAD?

Anyway, thank you.

Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection

Posted on June 1, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection

“A.P. Fuchs’ s Caught in Black Headlights highlights life things, all sorts of things, with a wondrous and unrelenting discernment and a brilliant sense of lyricism.” – John Urbancik, author of Annabel Lee, in Shadow

All right, World,
This is how it’s going to be:
Rhymes and verse
Melodies rehearsed
Across life’s rocky sea.

Listen up, Folks,
This is how we’re going to play:
Thoughts and comments,
Displays of indominance,
Making the rounds all day.

Read a poem, maybe two,
Pick three if you wish to dare.
Ramblings and coherence,
Sometimes jots of incoherence
Anything for poetic flare.

So get some eyes on some words
And give the brain a try.
You win some.
You lose most.
But in the end, Solomon said,
It’s vapor in the sky.

Enjoy and explore,
Please do, I implore.
Let’s talk about life bizarre
‘Cause it’s pretty complex stuff
Said Harvey Pekar.

What’s in a Book Blurb?

Posted on May 18, 2024 8:52 pm by A.P. Fuchs

What’s in a Book Blurb?

A lot, actually. Asking a fellow writer for a blurb can be both easy or daunting, depending on the ask. In the case of CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, the writer/poet I asked to blurb my book is someone I admire and, frankly, was a little bit nervous handing over the galley for it.

I write poetry, sure, but it’s not my main medium. I used to blast out poems non-stop once upon a time, but these days they’re few and far between. However, the approach to CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS is different than my other stuff and, it seems, paid off.

I won’t give away details just yet, but the book did indeed wind up getting blurbed by that writer and it will be used on the front cover.

Vague blogging right now.

Soon.

Caught in Black Headlights Coming Soon

Posted on May 9, 2024 4:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights Coming Soon

We’re all set. Everything’s on track. My new poetry collection about the truths of life, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, should be out end of May/early June (depending how fast the distributor processes everything).

The above image is not the actual cover but just a snippet to whet your appetite.

I’m excited about this one. It’s dedicated to the late Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip.

He wrote a lot about life. Told a lot of stories. This collection is meant to honor that legacy and practice.

Maybe somewhere Gord is proud. Or maybe he’d ask me what the heck do I think I’m doing. Har har.

Soon.

In the meantime, if poetry is up your alley, STILL ABOUT A GIRL is available. As well some other titles are listed in the Book and Comic Shop.

Peace.

Still About a Girl: Poetry Book

Posted on March 12, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Still About a Girl: Poetry Book

Sometimes all you have left is a memory, a time when you found yourself, lost yourself, found yourself again . . . in someone else. And sometimes they leave you anyway, but in the end what they’ve given to you is more than what you could have ever asked for. And though they’re gone you have lived because of them and become so much more. You have experienced what most go through their whole lives without, that four-letter word that impacts the world greater than anything else.

Love.

This a poetry book that will touch your heart and your soul.
