Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Posted on November 17, 2025 6:13 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Yesterday, Sunday morning, I sent the second book in the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy, AXIOM-MAN: TRANSFORMATIONS, off to the printer. I also uploaded the various eBook versions needed for my eBook distributors (this was talked about in this past weekend’s newsletter).

Already some of the eBook listings have started to pop up online. Once the paperback lists too, then I’ll do an official launch of the book and its delegated page here on the website.

As for the final installment, AXIOM-MAN: NEW DAWN, as of this blog entry I just got it back from the editor so the next task is to go through the edits before beginning the production procedure, which involves a final read-through. The cover art is also done. It just needs the design and layout.

What’s great about a superhero series like this is once your design is settled upon–like in the first book, AXIOM-MAN–you just carry it over to the next then the next, etc. No need to think of new fonts or anything like that except for the title of the adventure, which is quite easy.

Really excited for you guys to read TRANSFORMATIONS. Straight off, I’ll tell you the title is the plot. Ahhh, off to press.

Get ready.

Soon.

Writer and artist A.P. Fuchs goes live at Winnipeg Comic Con 2025 and gives you a tour of Artist Alley. Starting off at his table, all sorts of cool books and comics are explored along with stellar pop culture art, crafts, and merch.

The comic convention was a lot of fun. Looking forward to next year.

Reader Questions: What Application do You Use and is Paper Involved Anymore?

In our electronic age where most is done on-screen, asking if a writer still uses paper is a valid one. I can’t speak for other writers regarding their own process, but me? Both are involved from start to finish.

All is explained in this writing video so please be sure to check it out. Perhaps this electronic and paper mix might be of assistance to your own work?

The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven

Begin transmission . . .

Running from March 2024 to January 2025, The Canister X Transmission was sent via email to readers worldwide.

This newsletter year explored the theme of fluidity, which meant Fuchs didn’t set a specific format and instead wrote freely week to week about whatever was going on and, of course, did his best to entertain and inform.

Year Seven broke a streak of two long newsletter years and was instead delivered to readers weekly without missing an issue.

Topics include: work updates, access to digital content, writing and publishing discussion, an open letter about the rise of AI, thoughts on life, points of amusement, and general fun.

Exclusive to this collection is a special newsletter, Issue Three Hundred Thirteen A, unavailable anywhere else.

Welcome to The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven.

Available in paperback at:

Amazon (US)

Amazon (CAN)

Amazon (UK)

Barnes and Noble

Available in eBook at:

Nook

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.

Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Seven – In Conclusion | What Book Marketers Don’t Want You to Know

It’s time to wrap up this video series on how to market your book when your book sales have come to a standstill. A lot was explored over the past six videos and, for this one, we summarize things and point out the one lesson that underscored the entire marketing series. Pay attention because it’s an important one.

Oh, and as a PSA, if anyone comes to you offering a secret method to book marketing, run. They are trying to sell you something and aren’t truly interested in your project. Watch this video for more on that.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout this series. I hope you learned something. It was also a good refresher for me. Time to keep putting things into practice. It’s the only way to market your books.

See you on the shelves!

Oh, and please subscribe for all the latest Authortube videos!

Thanks.

This video is about networking with writers and artists and publishers. Everyone has something to offer: Knowledge, opportunities, insights, and wisdom.

It’s worth the effort. It’s worth the talks. It’s worth the time.

Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Five: Secret Tip – Let it Cook

For this part of this book marketing series, A.P. Fuchs invites you to take a break and let things simmer. Starting with a chili metaphor, Fuchs explains the principle of letting things cook as you go about marketing your book and why that’s important.

There’s also a special tip on Return On Investment (ROI) and a reference to Harlan Ellison. Important stuff. Tune in.

Thanks.

Authortube: AI Writing and Art is Stealing, End of Story

Posted on September 7, 2024 6:57 am by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: AI Writing and Art is Stealing, End of Story

The video based on this article. Please share this important message.

As writers and artists, it’s either we speak up now or we screw ourselves going forward. This is my effort to speak up. Up to you regarding what you do but I strongly urge you to start making noise right away because otherwise the next thing you’ll know, the publishing industry will be even more doomed than it is already is.

The choice is yours.
