    The Canister X Transmission: Year Four DriveThru

    Begin transmission . . .

    Running weekly from May 2017 to April 2018, The Canister X Transmission was sent via email to readers worldwide.

    The Canister X Transmission: Year Four was about connecting with readers through the simple act of writing a letter and the meaning that entails, so sit back, have a coffee, and connect with writer A.P. Fuchs as he brings you into his world of life as a working writer.

  • A.P. Fuchs 2023 Studio Tour

    A.P. Fuchs 2023 Studio Tour

    vLog - 2023 studio tour thumbnail

    Well, here it is: Home sweet home.

    It’s definitely not like other writers’ offices with books everywhere and a computer. It’s also not like your traditional artist studio with the smell of paint on the air and lots of brushes and pens laid out.

    When I say in my newsletter I work in a bunker, well, you’ll see that I’m not far off.

    My studio was originally going to be a basement bathroom but the previous owners of the house didn’t finish it. They got as far as framing it and marking out on the cement floor what goes where (i.e. the tub here, the toilet there, etc). So, I went out and got a roll of carpet, cut it to size, put it down, then put all my equipment where I wanted it to be. What I forgot to mention in the video is the computer desk I’m using I’ve had since I was about 5 or 6. It’s small, but I’ve made it work and the room is too small to put in something new from IKEA or wherever. Besides, one of the drawers has a sticker on it one of my kids put on it when they were toddlers. Yeah, I’m sentimental like that.

    Anyway, this is it, the A.P. Fuchs 2023 Studio Tour. This is where I produce my books and comics and make sure they get out to you.

    Hope you dig my little nerd’s nest.

    Welcome to the real-life Realm of Heroes and Monsters!

  • Project Rebuild Update

    Posted on September 27, 2022 10:27 am by A.P. Fuchs

    PROJECT REBUILD has been a long haul. It started mid-August 2019 and is still ongoing. Delays are attributed to bouts of illness and the pandemic. But it makes sense it would take this long. I had eight books to edit or proofread, get compiled and designed, plus cover work.

    The first book to go to press last week was GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE. And, of course, there had to be a snag. The paperback is ready but the eBook (though ready here at Axiom-man Central) has put me in a waiting loop as I wait on my printer to transfer files and basically move my whole catalog from Lightning Source to Ingram Spark (LS no longer offers eBook distribution). It is still ongoing as of this writing.

    Most of the other books are ready or half-ready for press. It’s this eBook thing that’s holding me back at the moment. I ask for your patience.

    What I’m doing is building a publishing machine and doing what I can each day to get that machine built and these books out to the public.

    I’m sure it will all work out in the end. Just be patient with me as I wait on the infrastructure to complete my vision.

    Thanks.

    GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE is almost done. The paperback is formatted and the cover is near complete. Next up is the eBook edition.

    Sorry this book has taken so long during the production phase. There was a lot of work to do in terms of editing and putting three novellas together prior to that.

    Prepare to stay out of the water.

  • 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.
