• Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    canister x transmission collections

    Well, MailChimp pulled the plug on TinyLetter, the newsletter engine I’ve using to send THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION for about eight years. It was a great platform because it had a simple and direct, user-friendly interface and was perfect for a text-based newsletter like mine. But, alas, all good things must come to an end, I suppose, so thanks to fellow author Bobby Nash, he turned me on to MailerLite and from there I’ll be able to continue to send out new issues of the newsletter week after week. This change, of course, will involve some link adjusting and some web design stuff since all my sites have the TinyLetter subscribe box.

    Either way, we now have a new provider and there should be no interupption in service.

    You’ll also receive a free thriller novelette upon subscribing. Goes out Saturdays.

    Goodbye, Tinyletter. Thank you for your service.

    If you’d like to be a part of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION while I finish getting things all set up, please email me and I’ll add you to the subscriber list. You can also use the form above. The email-me option is there in case of glitches.

    Thanks.

    We head back to a different Dollarama for some collectibles shopping! What is unique about this video is this is my first Dollarama that I ever visited when they first came to Canada. At the time, everything was a buck. That’s it. So now I head there to find collectibles in my main three catagories: playing cards, action figures, and hotwheels.

    Let’s go shopping . . . from the beginning . . .

    Zomtropolis and Giganti-gator Death Machine Bestsellers

    As per my distributor (Ingram), these two recent releases have been my bestsellers last I checked. I’m really proud of both books because they allowed me to explore the two areas of the monster genre that I really like: zombies and gigantice creatures. To see that people are picking up these books (and in print, no less, in this eBook era) is truly gratifying. At the end of it all, I just want people to read my stories.

    Thank you, dear reader, for making ZOMTROPOLIS and GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE bestsellers.

    Grab your copy of ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY in paperback or eBook here:

    This short chunk of animation and art made up the first part of my animation demo reel. “Once Upon a Weiner” with Fred (Fredrikus) the dog was presented after. I wanted to share these brief cartoons and art pieces with you as a way to bring the past into the present.

    Enjoy.

  • Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Coming Soon

    Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Coming Soon

    Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Cover Sketch

    For those who read this past Saturday’s newsletter, you know I had an Axiom-man novelette that I needed to do something with. Well, the decision has been made and this week I’ve been expanding it into a longer adventure team-up story.

    THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in terms of the main series features Axiom-man in solo adventures whereas the team-up stories are side tales.

    AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY is one of them.

    What you see above is the cover, that is, what the cover looks like before it’s made into an official book cover. All covers to THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA are designed by me then the crude sketch is handed over to Axiom-man cover artist Justin Shauf for pencils and inks.

    My hope with this cover is to do something different in terms of superhero covers and it’s all in the coloring. I’ve never seen it done before but I think it’s a unique concept that can be pulled off. Stay tuned.

    Due to book production time, this won’t be released before 2023’s clock runs out but look for it early in the New Year.

    In the meantime, check out THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA to get caught up. Thanks and enjoy some good superheroic reading time.

    Peace.
