  • Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September

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

    Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September

    A.P. Fuchs Giant Alligators and Zombies and Mech Bestselling Books

    Though I’m not one to have a constant eye on the sales charts, running a publishing house requires administration now and then to keep things organized and knowing what’s where and what’s what so that, should the paperwork ever need to be looked at by an authority from the outside, I have all my ducks in a row.

    I’m a huge proponent of proper business management for any creator regardless of craft or medium. If you’re selling your work, you’re a business therefore things need to be addressed in that light.

    September 2024 saw some cool titles for top sales. While true that every book is an author’s baby, let’s be honest, some babies are cuter than others. In the case of MECH APOCALYPSE, GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE, and ZOMTROPOLIS, these are babies I personally consider among the top cute ones in my crib. They also have favorable reviews so, I suppose, that means others think they’re cute too.

    Ah, metaphors.

    Thank you to everyone who supported these titles last month. I truly hope you enjoy(ed) reading them and that they take/took you on a wild ride through the fantastic, whether terrifying or scientific or a bit of both.

    Oh, and let’s not forget the action part. Lots of that in all of them, too. I mean, monsters and mechs. What else would there be?

    Thank you again. It means a lot to a creator when their work is supported. Like I’ve mentioned on this blog before, if I was independently wealthy, all this stuff would be free and paperbacks would only be charged at cost so a sweet deal for you. Until that day, thank you in advance for any further support.

    – APF

    Ps. If you want free stories, check out my podcast, THE REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS. Two seasons so far, 52 stories shared. More coming next season. Peace.

    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.

  • The Realm of Heroes and Monsters – Story Time Podcast: The Complete Second Season

    Posted on September 29, 2024 3:47 am by A.P. Fuchs

    The Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time Podcast: The Complete Second Season

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters Story Time with A.P. Fuchs Season 2

    Last weekend we wrapped up the Second Season of THE REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast! Twenty-one episodes, twenty-one full-length short stories of superheroes, monsters, and horror.

    The format was simple: Brief intro, straight dive into Story Time, then the Story Behind the Story, and, as usual, a post-credits scene. Done and done, the focus being all about the story. As for the finale, you not only got a story, but the story behind the story for that particular short story plus a story behind the story for the second season of the podcast itself! And, oh, did I mention a Spoken Word performance post-credits? Yeah, that’s there, too.

    Season Three is coming with new stories and a new format, but that will arrive once we finish our 2024 book releases. In the meantime, the entire second season is available for you to listen to below.

    Please subscribe to the channel so you’re not only set for other great video content, but also for Season Three when it arrives before end of year.

    This second season drew upon several books for the tales, MAGIC MAN PLUS 15 TALES OF TERROR being the main source. If you’d like to show support for this past season, please consider grabbing a copy in paperback or eBook for your library. Book info here.

    Enjoy!

    Time for stories.

  • REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S02EP21

    Posted on September 22, 2024 5:27 am by A.P. Fuchs

    REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S02EP21 Season Two Podcast Finale –

    Mr. Jitterbones

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters Story Time Season 2 Episode 21 Mr Jitterbones horror Jack the Ripper Podcast Thumbnail

    Episode 21: Mr. Jitterbones – 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 is it! Welcome to the Season Two finale of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast with A.P. Fuchs. That’s two seasons in the can. Done and done. But none of it could have been done without you, dear listener, so thank you.

    It’s my sincere hope you enjoyed this second season of short stories, both creepy and heroic. Monsters and heroes reign supreme here so I hope you were satisfied with what was delivered.

    If you’re just tuning in now or have been sporadically throughout this past season, please go ahead and take a look at all previous episodes and pick out some that tickle your fancy and have a listen.

    To celebrate the end of Season Two, this is an extended episode and there is a very special performance after the credits so stick around for that. If you’re into the Spoken Word artform, you’ll dig it.

    Thank you again for tuning in this season. It is much appreciated, and don’t worry, there is more to come . . . in Season Three.

    Yours,

    A.P. Fuchs

  • Funko Friday: Superman and Batman and He-Man Fusion Funko Pops

    Funko Friday: Superman and Batman and He-Man Fusion Funko Pops

    Funko Friday Superman and Batman and He-Man Fusion Funko Pops thumbnail

    What we have here are two very special figures. Technically three, if you count one of them twice. The Superman and Batman amalgamation done by DC Comics (which they do now and then with the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight) looks amazing. There is an action figure counterpart from McFarlane Toys so that’s on the list as well.

    And finally, oh so finally, this Funko Pop collector got himself a Masters of the Universe He-Man, power sword and all. He looks fantastic and I’m thrilled to have him alongside his Funko Pop pin.

    Shorts and reels were done for these two Pops but I wanted to a Funko Friday with them as well.

    Enjoy!

    He-Man at Amazon Canada here.

    Don’t forget to stay to the end for more Funko Pop! videos.

    Thank you for watching Axiom-man TV.
