Still About a Girl: Poetry Book

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.

Avaible in paperback at:

Amazon (US)

Amazon (CAN)

Amazon (UK)

Barnes and Noble

Available in eBook at:

Coming soon.

Caught in Black Headlights is Complete

Caught in Black Headlights is Complete

(Not official cover. Just a snippet of it.)

Last week I finished CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, but if you’re a reader of my newsletter, you get advance news so those guys already know about it. It is a book of text and photos, my first in that regard. The next closest thing would be CANISTER X COMIX No. 3, in which photos were used instead of art for the panels.

This one is set for a spring release, looking at late March or early April. Date to be determined.

AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY comes first. (Presently with the editor.)

Gonna be a good year for books. Lots of things planned and, as you can already see, we got 2024’s first two releases already lined up. Are you caught up on everything?

More news as it becomes available.

Mr. Jitterbones (Short Story)

Posted on November 15, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Mr. Jitterbones (Short Story):

It is 1889, one year after the Ripper murders plagued London’s East End.

It’s Hallowe’en and homeless man Jack McClay is preparing to hand out treats to the poor children that wander the city streets. But like last autumn, something sinister lurks in the dark and this particular creature is out for one thing: blood, and it doesn’t care where it gets it. The creature appears . . . and it’s all skin and bones.

Clik-clakity-clak-clak.

Mr. Jitterbones has arrived.

This story also features the bonus poem, “The Night Mr. Jitterbones Came A’Hauntin’.”

Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

Posted on November 9, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

It is true.

It is time.

Patreon 2.0 launches this November 13. I’m aiming to premiere the trailer Sunday evening then do a full-blast posting Monday to launch the page and invite one and all into the PATREON REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS.

There are two tiers and they’ll be displayed in full on launch day, but to sum them up, they are:

Tip Jar: $1. Just a general tip to help me along in the art world with my deepest thanks.

All-Access: $5. For just five bucks a month you get everything content that I put on the Web plus the following just for you:

Artwork only revealed here. Nowhere else. Public art is here.

Learn what goes on behind the scenes in bringing you books, comics, art, podcasts, videos, and more. (This is stuff I don’t talk about or show openly.)

Entertaining and/or informative videos made only for patrons.

It began with GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE and continues with TWO other running serials.

Photos taken EXCLUSIVELY for this page. Sometimes I add my own sparkle, other times not, but they’re always interesting.

Quick little notes or did-you-knows just for you.

Usually bits of info that are hopefully insightful or useful.

For those interested in the craft of storytelling through various mediums, both the creative side and the business side.

Like the Quick Notes, these are intended to be helpful.

And there you have it. If you were a previous patron, you know I always deliver content on time without excuse. As well, if you were a part of Patreon 1.0, please get in touch.

Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

Posted on October 31, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

ZOMTROPOLIS is gonna be out soon and then I’ll be neck-deep in THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA writing three books for that before releasing them so my readers know for certain the story arc I’ll be doing will done and complete in 2024.

I’ve been picking away at CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS for years. It’s a poetry book, my fourth thus far. Poems about life, observation, some feelings. Trying something new with my poetry style. I think what’s going to end up happening is I’ll be airing CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS at Patreon 2.0 as in-between book, a pre-online publication alongside ZOMTROPOLIS, which is being serialized there.

All really depends how much I have to say because poetry is about saying something, hopefully something with meaning and some sort of impact.

We’ll see.

In the interim, STILL ABOUT A GIRL is coming back out so you can get your poetry fix through that in the meantime.

The Way of the Fog and Still About a Girl Returning to Life

Posted on October 26, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

The Way of the Fog and Still About a Girl Returning to Life

A long time ago I wrote an epic fantasy (253k words) called THE WAY OF THE FOG: VOLUME ONE OF THE ARK OF LIGHT. It came out in hardcover only. That hardcover is returning. As for paperback and eBook versions, I’ll have to figure something out because the core files were lost in The Great Computer Crash of 2010. I have some ideas on how to recover the files, but it’ll take some time.

As well, my poetry book, STILL A ABOUT A GIRL, is returning to print. It was my third poetry collection and came out early in my career. No reason to not have it out there again. It’s a collection of poems about love and loss and how it changes you.

Stay tuned for more news as these projects return.

In the meantime, lots of books to choose from both here and at Amazon to keep you reading company. Thanks.

Canister X Book Review #20: Coke Machine Glow by Gordon Downie

Coke Machine Glow
by Gordon Downie
5 out of 5

Aside from being a major Tragically Hip fan–and aside from being a fan of Gord’s solo album of which this poetry book is named after–this book got to me. You know, deep down heart stuff. It’s about life, it’s about Canada, it’s about observation, it’s about asking questions that may or may not have answers.

That Gord. Man, he knows how to string words together, both poetically and lyrically. This book contains both the lyrics from Coke Machine Glow as well as other poetry. Gord’s way with words is such that the subject matter of each piece is relatable in some way, whether overtly or subtly, depending on what’s going on in your life. He is also the master of putting together what are at first glance unrelated statements, but upon thinking about them you realize they go perfectly together and beautifully compliment each other.

I’ve always been an advocate Gord Downie can put any set of words to music, and the lyric portion of Coke Machine Glow proves the point. Even the stuff that didn’t make the album easily could have, so now I’m curious why he chose what was made into song and what wasn’t.

Coke Machine Glow is an amazing and touching poetry book. It came with the CD way back when I got it a decade and a half ago and has remained one of my favorite books and albums since.

Highly regarded and highly recommended.

Rest in peace, Gordon Downie.
