    Back to Technicalities – Blog Update

    circuit board

    Okay, fair enough. This blog hasn’t been regularly updated in a long while. That’s on me. You could argue it’s also on life and, no, this not a writer making the standard excuse of everyday life being too busy for their art life.

    The blog update is this: Regular blogging took a backseat due to limited brain power, meaning the old noggin was used for deep thinking on other endeavors–creative and otherwise–thus in a state of mush come blogging time. The other items took priority–like getting books written on a tight deadline then off to press–and had to be done otherwise I might as well put the entire creative career on hold. Those labors needed to occur so their fruits would inform what happens on the screen in front of you. Guess you could say they resemble the circuit board above.

    You might have noticed this website went from dark to light. This is not me. This is WordPress. I keep setting it back to dark mode and it keeps bouncing back to light mode. Perhaps by the time you read this I’ll have it figured out, but if not, then you know why.

    The idea here is to get back into regular blogging. Sometimes it might be detailed, like an essay or article, other times book listings, announcements, musings, etc. As per usual, we’ll keep it to superheroes, monsters, and the arts.

    Plan? Right after I publish this entry, I’m going to try and fix the light/dark issue permanently. Next is a moderate face lift for this blog since the last time its aesthetics were updated was seven years ago. This will be a [relatively] slow-morph project so each time you visit, you should see at least one thing adjusted, if not more.

    For those who haven’t stopped by in a while, the latest personal release is the merch item of the Axiom-man sketchbook following the release of the BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY for THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA last year. That trilogy finished Act One of the saga. As per this week’s newsletter (which is for everyone so feel free to get on board), the title for the next installment and the kick-off to Act Two is AXIOM-MAN: AFTERMATH. This is an episode installment, so a novella. It’ll be a quasi-epilogue and quasi-prologue to Act Two. The goal is to have this book out by Winnipeg Comic Con in the fall.


  • Realm of Heroes and Monsters Back on the Air

    Back on the Air

    back on the air realm of heroes and monster writer artist a.p. fuchs books comics art youtube videos podcast

    Aaaand . . . we’re back on the air!

    (Or, at least, I hope so.)

    Bottomline: WordPress updated and my site went screwy and, due to time constraints, I was unable to address it straightaway. The blog was visible and accessible to you, but not to me in regards to the back end where the content creation is done and what brings you new posts.

    Anyway, after a debacle with my hosting provider, I fixed it myself (but, to be fair, they did provide a link that helped with troubleshooting but, in the end, it was a fix not part of their instruction; whatever).

    So this is why the blog hasn’t been updated in a while and content is a bit behind. Please be patient with me as I bring this website back up to speed, but I wanted to drop this note to say we’re back up and running.

    Thanks.

    PS: Why not check some monster and superhero books while waiting? Thanks again.

  • More Blog Updates

    More Blog Updates

    blog updates

    This is just a quick note to let everyone know that things are still occurring on this blog on the backend. Some changes you’ll see up front, like new graphics or some links. Other changes are occurring behind the scenes, stuff that Google notices but not you, dear reader. The good news is, if Google notices it, so will you and will have an easier time finding it.

    In the meantime, maybe make a game of it. How many subtle changes can you spot as we conduct more blog updates?

    For now, please check out the latest release, AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY and other Axiom-man titles in the Book and Comic Shop.

    2024 is going to be a superhero of a year!

    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.

    A.P. Fuchs LinkTree Ultra Update

    LinkTree logo

    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!
