Status report – 041724:

All right, we’ve got a full roster going on over here. Between the stuff you see on a daily basis and working on stuff behind the scenes that you’ll see eventually, we have our hands full.

Right now we’re:

1) Writing AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING
2) Freelance editing for a client
3) Creating daily content for you both here on this blog and across the Web
4) Getting the second season of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast ready for launch (I’m building a queue to ensure you get it weekly)

And a day job.

But basically, our creative focus is on the Axiom-man books for this year. My main goal is to get the first drafts done by summer with, say, mid-July completion at the latest. Then all the heavy lifting is done and it’s just an issue of cleaning things up before publication.

The secret to getting all the above done and maintaining the schedule is just that: maintaining the schedule. Work on something every day and eventually you’ll get what you need out of it.

Back to work.

This has been your Status Report for 041724.

Axiom-man vs Axiom-man?

Posted on April 13, 2024 10:27 am by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man vs Axiom-man?

Had to check in on something with the distributor and say this! The new Axiom-man release is in the lead in my overall book sales but the 10th Anniversay Special Edition of AXIOM-MAN is a close second. I’m glad people are checking out the first book. I hope I win them over so they check out the rest of this superhero series.

The first edition of AXIOM-MAN was written and published at a time when independent superhero books were not a thing. There was me and maybe five other people publishing their own hero. Now, independent superheroes are everywhere. My hope is THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA can keep up.

If you tuned into this week’s newsletter, you got a quick glimpse at an upcoming event in AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING. Newsletter readers and Patreon patrons always get the news first. A perk of part of being in the club.

Anyway, who from the above will ultimately win? Will newcomer the Crimson Cloak beat out a hero that’s been around for a decade and a half? We’ll soon find out in this Axiom-man vs Axiom-man battle!

Be sure to tune into this blog again. Same Axiom time. Same Axiom channel.

Cheers.

Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy

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

Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy

Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own.

Not again.

There is something different about this world, something familiar. Something that feels like . . . home. But this place of red mist and darkness belongs to another crusader, this one in a dark red trench coat, a blood-red cloak, and a fedora casting shadows on a face with goggles and a strange mask.

With no clue where this red mist brought him, Axiom-man and this crimson stranger are swept into a bizarre hotel where each floor brings a deadly new mission, and to make matters worse, Axiom-man doesn’t have his powers.

Trial upon trial ensues as Axiom-man and a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak try to survive deadly traps in a building from hell.

One blue. One red.

One common enemy.

The battle to survive begins.

Scarlet Synergy Paperback Heading into Distribution

It’s official: The paperback of AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY has been approved at the printers, which also means it’s been approved for distribution.

The release date is set for April 5, 2024. My hope is all will be online tomorrow and we can launch. The book is already appearing in places like Kindle and Nook for pre-order. Soon, the paperback will join them.

For those of you who like to order direct from me, I’m not 100% sure as yet when I’ll be getting copies in. Need to look at some logistics first and time my order for both quantity and savings.

In the meantime, why not catch up on THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in paperback or eBook by going here.

Let’s hope to blast off tomorrow.

Two Superhero Essays

Posted on April 3, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

With AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY coming out very soon, I thought it’d be a good idea to (re)share a two superhero essays on this site in preparation for the Cobalt Crusader to return.

These essays were written a while back but still ring true today in terms of writing superhero fiction.

First, get ready for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY by checking out THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in its entirety (or at least the first book).

Essays:

The Axiom-man Origin and Why I Write Superhero Fiction

The Redsaw Origin and How I Write Supervillains

Thanks for checking these out.

Axiom-man returns soon . . .

A.P. Fuchs LinkTree Ultra Update

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

A.P. Fuchs LinkTree Ultra Update

For those unaware, I keep a LinkTree. The One Link, as I call it. From there you can go to every single place I am on on the Web. YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, this site . . . the list goes on. We also did up a new color scheme the other day, but this weekend I updated my LinkTree (which you can subscribe to) with a catalog of my books via their new store feature. It’s pretty cool and part of the LinkTree ultra update.

Check it out here. And if you’re a creator, I highly recommend getting a LinkTree of your own.

One Link to rule them all!
