  • Release Schedule Change

    Posted on August 16, 2022 11:37 am by A.P. Fuchs

    There’s been a release schedule change.

    My summer and fall releases have been pushed back so here’s the tentative new schedule:

    Fall:

    THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: YEAR FOUR
    THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE LONG YEAR FIVE
    GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE

    Winter:

    BLOOD OF THE DEAD reissue
    POSSESSION OF THE DEAD reissue
    REDEMPTION OF THE DEAD reissue

    Apologies for the delay. With it being summer, my team and I have different schedules so it’s been difficult to align them. Rest assured, these books are coming.

  • Summer Releases Status

    Posted on July 28, 2022 9:08 am by A.P. Fuchs

    Here is where everything is standing as of this writing:

    THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: YEAR FOUR – Galley approved; cover 95% done.
    THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE LONG YEAR FIVE – Galley approved.
    GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: Galley received for one final pass.

    At the current rate things are going, we’re still on schedule for late August. Lots of work to do yet, but a good chunk of book production has been done on the above. I’m now at the stage where I plan to work on the titles one at a time.

    Onward.

  • The Daily Schedule of a Writer/Artist 2

    Posted on May 24, 2022 1:07 pm by A.P. Fuchs

    Since recovering from being ill–and I’m still recovering–here’s what my current daily schedule looks like:

    Wake up and pet the dogs. I’m usually up before everybody else.

    Post my daily Good Morning post on Facebook and give the day’s positivity rating. The rating is given based on how I feel at that exact moment.

    Make coffee.

    Have a small bite to eat.

    Have coffee and surf the feeds and check email, taking note of which ones I need to respond to later.

    By now Melinda is up so I have more coffee and spend time with her before she has to go to work.

    Work on the current project. As of this writing, it’s proofing the galley for the reissue of REDEMPTION OF THE DEAD.

    Break

    Non-committal work. By this I mean work I can do and get done but not share with anybody yet (i.e. a blog post, the newsletter, YouTube video, etc.).

    Break

    Work on the current project.

    Break

    Review and share the non-committal work

    Personal tasks (i.e. personal correspondence, bills, etc.).

    Break

    Nap

    I may or may not call it a day at this point. Depends what time it is. Melinda gets off work at 4:30 and then it’s time to get ready for supper.

    Evening walk with Melinda and then a quick walk with the dogs.

    Chill out time.

    Bed.

    vLog – Wrong Turn to Mars.

    Was out not terribly long ago to get groceries and took a wrong turn and wound up on Mars or some sort of red parallel Earth. Take a ride with me and get updated on Project Rebuild.

    Be sure to subscribe to the channel. I have a feeling the portal to Mars isn’t completely closed.

  • Project Rebuild Notice: Blood of my World Trilogy

    Posted on February 20, 2020 7:20 am by A.P. Fuchs
    Blood of my World Trilogy

    Please note my Blood of my World Trilogy (Discovery of Death, Memories of Death, and Life of Death) are the next to be rebuilt.

    The current editions will remain in print until we get close to press day on the reissue and then you will be notified of when they are going out of print. Now is a good time to get these first-edition copies in print or eBook before they’re gone for good.

    Once the reissue for the Blood of my World Trilogy is complete, the next batch of reissues will be announced.

    Note: The word “reissue” and not the plural was used on purpose because these three novellas are being consolidated into one volume when revamped.

    Lastly, yesterday I posted a new video about the 1000mph work club. Please go here to check it out and see if you relate to doing a thousand things at once.
