If you’ve been reading my newsletter, you’ll know I’ve been making changes to this blog behind the scenes by way of updating things page by page, entry by entry. There was a lot of coding that went into a lot of the original entries that is now obsolete and is hurting the site, so I’ve been working slowly but surely on correcting those issues.
Thus far, I’ve completed three sections:
The Book and Comic Shop (which looks the same upon entry but when you click on a title, the title’s page is different)
More to go, but I was also not using old coding when I got this site back up and running in 2019 so, generally speaking, the remaining adjustments, though a lot, isn’t a total site revamp or anything. Just fine-tuning and tweaking.
Hope you like the new pages as I got about these blog updates.
It’s important to me to share information with fellow writers and artists whenever I can. I have a free section here for it on this site, but I also have a special section on Patreon for creators as well. The below essays and articles are only available on Patreon but they share over 20 years of knowledge of the self-publishing business and how it works.

Mercy
In today’s episode, Fuchs talks about the superhero dillema of whether or not killing is acceptable in certain situations. It’s a choice every superhero must make while they go about their crusade. Fuchs then dives into the serious question of whether you could commit such an act if needed, but more specifically, what do you do with it after. Toward the end, A.P. Fuchs briefly discusses the Story Time podcast the wrapping up Season 1.
Then we head into story time with a superhero faced with a tough choice.

It’s been a very long while since I did a Hotwheels muscle mania muscle car showcase on this blog so here are some muscle car shorts.
Here are three awesome muscle cars to take a gander at. Frankly, I think muscle cars are one of the best-looking cars on the market. Some simple yet powerful about them. It’s a dream to own one but I need to sell more books and comics to do that.
A Red Dark Night: A Novel of Blood, Gore and Terror Book Spotlight
“Fuchs is an exceptionally fluid writer with a keen inventiveness and proficiency sadly lacking in the works of many writers of today.” – Nicholas Grabowsky, author of Halloween IV and The Everborn
Many summers ago, an evil presence known as a Bloodan visited Camp Silverway, a peaceful summer camp for teenage girls, and nearly killed a young girl named Shelly. Mary Thompson, a girl on a bunk bed near Shelly, watched as the creature made from blood and darkness, began to sink into Shelly and begin to feed.
Through tears and cloudy vision, she also saw her friend rescued by a stranger in a black cape, with blue fire blasting from his hand.
Never forgetting that night, Mary was tormented for years by the memory of what she saw, and now, twenty-two years later, she has returned to Camp Silverway as a camp counselor, trying to face her fear.
However, what starts out as a fun summer soon comes to an end when not one, but several Bloodans return to the camp and begin killing again. As before, the man in the black cape, Tarek, reappears, yet he hasn’t aged a day since he rescued Shelly long ago.
Shock upon shock ensues as Mary learns not only where the creatures and her hero come from, but also when. The Bloodans enclose the camp in a liquid red dome made of blood, and as everyone around her gets killed and the monsters multiply, Mary, her friend Sarah, and Tarek are left with no place to go.
Except for maybe one.

A ton of cool stuff has been happening over at the Patreon page. It serves as a special place to hold all that I share in public plus a pile of stuff for patrons only. Right now we’re airing two serial books, behind the scenes stuff, special articles, blog posts, videos, and more.
The patron-only video this month asks the all-important question: Does God Speak German? And before you berate me, there’s a reason for the video.
It’s amusing items like the above that keep the page fresh, educational, and also entertaining.
I’m having a lot of fun with Patreon 2.0 and I invite you to join me there for the same.
Here’s the trailer:

See you there. Oh, don’t forget about the books and comics here on this blog, too.
Canister X Mailbag – Black Playing Cards Unboxing – 02072024
Well, we got sucked back into the world of TEMU and got ourselves some playing cards on the cheap, and since specialized playing cards usually cost you your eye, these were deals I couldn’t pass up.
Into black? Then these black playing cards are for you. Well, they’re for me but we’ll pretend to share over the Interwebs.

Canister X Mailbag – Black Playing Cards Unboxing – 02072024
All right, so things are starting to come together. Just over the weekend I received back the edits for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, which means that after I go over the edits (which is me doing just that: looking at the edits only prior to a final pass), the book goes into the production machine, gets a final look-over, then off to you, dear reader.
I’m really excited to release this book. It’s not your usual Axiom-man story and it was a chance for me to start a mythology that may or may not be true. I’ll leave that to you to decide for when the book comes out.
Also, I got the final piece I needed for my Writing 101 series I’m bringing to YouTube. There’s a method to the madness here and a bit of scheduling. It’ll all make sense as the episodes come out.
Lastly, this week is also a major work week with a ton of hours needing to be put in so if I’m a bit silent on the social feeds, that is why.
Canister X Mailbag – Neck Massager, Display Stand, and Gold Playing Cards Unboxing – 02072024
We experimented with a new online vendor for some affordable necessities. The store is called Temu, a place to get things at a severe discount but also reliable service and ease of use. We checked the reviews of the app before purchasing and the reviews held up so we took a shot in the dark . . . and the shot came back with what I ordered.
Please enjoy this “experimental” unboxing video.
