A.P. Fuchs Livestream No. 5 Winnipeg Comic Con 2025 Artist Alley Tour

Writer and artist A.P. Fuchs goes live at Winnipeg Comic Con 2025 and gives you a tour of Artist Alley. Starting off at his table, all sorts of cool books and comics are explored along with stellar pop culture art, crafts, and merch.

The comic convention was a lot of fun. Looking forward to next year.

Take a look at what’s shown and, perhaps, look into the artisan yourself if something catches your eye. Supporting true art is so important in this day and age. Join the fight!

The Summoning (The Axiom-man Saga, Book 5)

Posted on October 24, 2025 6:15 am by A.P. Fuchs

The Summoning (The Axiom-man Saga, Book 5)

No more.

Redsaw has been terrorizing Winnipeg for too long. Worse, Axiom-man has been unable to stop him and Redsaw has used that opportunity to create his own brand of chaos.

Riots fill the streets. Fires break out every day. Looters run rampant and murderers go unpunished.

No one is safe with Redsaw orchestrating it all from the shadows. Hiding. Untraceable. This battle for power can’t go on. As chaos rips the city apart, the cops are overwhelmed and Axiom-man cannot locate his enemy.

Now, not only does Axiom-man have to settle the battle with Redsaw, he also needs to settle the battle within himself. The mask and cape have taken their toll and the cost is rising, especially since Gabriel being Axiom-man is driving a wedge between him and Valerie Vaughan.

The mission is simple: find Redsaw and put an end to his reign of red-powered darkness forever.

There will be a fight, and Axiom-man has to be ready.

Authortube: What is Marathon Writing?

Marathon writing. You may have heard of it. It’s the method of writing a book in a very, very short amount of time.

Listen as writer and artist A.P. Fuchs explains the process. It’s very simple, but do you have it in you?

Reader Questions: What Application do You Use and is Paper Involved Anymore?

In our electronic age where most is done on-screen, asking if a writer still uses paper is a valid one. I can’t speak for other writers regarding their own process, but me? Both are involved from start to finish.

All is explained in this writing video so please be sure to check it out. Perhaps this electronic and paper mix might be of assistance to your own work?

The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven

Begin transmission . . .

Running from March 2024 to January 2025, The Canister X Transmission was sent via email to readers worldwide.

This newsletter year explored the theme of fluidity, which meant Fuchs didn’t set a specific format and instead wrote freely week to week about whatever was going on and, of course, did his best to entertain and inform.

Year Seven broke a streak of two long newsletter years and was instead delivered to readers weekly without missing an issue.

Topics include: work updates, access to digital content, writing and publishing discussion, an open letter about the rise of AI, thoughts on life, points of amusement, and general fun.

Exclusive to this collection is a special newsletter, Issue Three Hundred Thirteen A, unavailable anywhere else.

Welcome to The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven.

Available in paperback at:

Amazon (US)

Amazon (CAN)

Amazon (UK)

Barnes and Noble

Available in eBook at:

Nook

Dystopian YA and Horror Bestsellers in June!

Posted on July 6, 2025 1:33 pm by A.P. Fuchs
Dystopian YA and Horror Bestsellers in June!

June did pretty good in terms of book sales. Had some that outshone the others so am mentioning them here.

What was especially pleasing was seeing ZOMBIE FIGHT NIGHT: BATTLES OF THE DEAD on there. It’s an older book but seems to fly under the radar most of the time despite it being an effort to put everything awesome into one tale.

Also on a personal level was seeing folks picking up GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE. Swamp horror is always fun and these three all-in-one novellas were a B-movie love letter to the horrors of the swamp. Reviews have been solid on this one so maybe someday this type of gigantic monster thriller will be revisited.

Melinda Marshall scored well with THE TYPHON PROJECT. If you’re into dystopian YA (young adult) fiction, it’ll be right up your alley, especially with all the genetic fooling around.

And then, of course, we had bigfoot because, well, who doesn’t love bigfoot? Nice to see my anthology effort with Eric S. Brown still has some legs.

Thank you to everyone who supported Coscom Entertainment last month. We’re a very small publishing house but have been around bringing books to the public since 2004 in various incarnations . . . and we’re still standing.

Thank you again for these dystopian YA and horror bestsellers this past June.

If you’re interested in the above titles or books in a similar vein, the Book and Comic Shop here on this site is your best bet for selection as all is shown there all in one place.

(June’s book titles listed above take you straight to Amazon for paperback or Kindle editions.)

Cheers.

Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

Posted on June 25, 2025 1:03 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

Turns of phrase. Manipulation of words. Writing beats and pacing. Take a concept and tell it once then spin it around and tell it again. There are so many versions of wordplay out there and it is every writer’s duty to play with those words if they want to bring their writing up a level or three.

A.P. Fuchs is of the opinion that every writer should listen to Eminem at least once. The man is a master at lyrics, poetry, flips of script and turns of phrase. Plenty of lessons about wordplay and pacing can be obtained by listening to his music.

Watch this short video as Fuchs explains why every writer should listen to Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, the one and only Eminem.

Thanks.

Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

What is purple prose?

You might have heard the term from seasoned writers or those just beginning. You might have even heard the term from your English teacher–but what is it?

Well, it has a boring definition with boring examples so in this video we cut to the heart of it and explain it simply and easily and how to avoid this writing crime.

Let’s go purple and have some educational fun!

Cheers and enjoy!

Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

Posted on January 29, 2025 4:25 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

In the age of new writers emerging all the time and various qualities of work being put out there, sometimes you wonder if an editor was involved or not?

So the question to writers is: Should you listen to your editor?

This video is a general, broadbrush statement on best practice when it comes to this question. Obviously, not all scenarios and specifics could be discussed unless you wanted a twelve-season Blu-ray set. Haha.

The comments are open for discussion regarding certain scenarios or specifics.

Thanks.
