Stratagem (One Bright Future Book Three) by Melinda Marshall: YA Dystopian

Rielle is devastated to be a slave again and owned by Justin, who she thought was her friend. Under Bank Security’s constant surveillance, Rielle plots her escape. She secretly holds the key to toppling the OneEarth Bank and freeing the people they’ve enslaved, but she needs help and the only people she trusts with her secret are imprisoned over 1,000 miles away.

Justin betrayed her and the people she cares about but trusting him may be the only way to escape Bank Security’s clutches, rescue her friends, and crush the OneEarth Bank’s nefarious plans.

Pursued by Bank Security and with nothing left to lose, Rielle devises a desperate and risky stratagem.

Will she succeed in destroying the OneEarth Bank or will they destroy her first?

Subversion (One Bright Future Book Two) by Melinda Marshall: YA Dystopian

After fleeing slavery, Rielle James burns with the desire to topple OneEarth Bank and end its enslavement of young people as Contracts. When she learns that her friend Nathan has been sold to a logging company where Contracts die or vanish without a trace, she assumes a false identity and becomes a slave again to help him escape.

Her act of subversion uncovers the horrific truth behind the OneEarth Bank’s role in Contract disappearances and its link to a global pandemic.

Can Rielle and Nathan escape and expose the truth before it’s too late?

Enslavement (One Bright Future Book One) by Melinda Marshall: YA Dystopian

Posted on April 12, 2026 2:10 pm by A.P. Fuchs Comment

Enslavement (One Bright Future Book One) by Melinda Marshall: YA Dystopian

In the wake of global economic collapse, the OneEarth Bank promises prosperity in exchange for compliance with the commerce chip insertions. Those who refuse the chip are vilified and called Resistors.

When Rielle James’s parents refuse to comply, government officials tear her family apart and Rielle is forced into a Community Service Contract. Officially, these contracts are portrayed as a way to rehabilitate kids from Resistor families, but in reality, it’s legalized slavery. Rielle’s contract is sold to the highest bidder-a wealthy and abusive banker.

She quickly discovers nothing in her owner’s home is as it appears. His seemingly perfect life is a facade that hides dangerous secrets. Escape means freedom and the possibility of finding her family-if she can pull it off.

Prison or even death await if she fails.

Superhero Books – Axiom-man: Battle of Power Trilogy Copies Have Arrived

Posted on January 14, 2026 6:40 pm by A.P. Fuchs
Superhero Books – Axiom-man: Battle of Power Trilogy Copies Have Arrived

The postman came and dropped off copies of THE BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY from THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA here at the Central the other day.

This is the first superhero fiction series to have a multi-part cover as part of Coscom Entertainment’s effort to break new ground in superhero books with Axiom-man! So cool! Not only did we do the first hardcover lettered edition of a superhero novel ever, now we’re linking covers!

For those who pre-ordered their copies direct at Winnipeg Comic Con, I will contact you shortly for arrangements for drop-off. For everyone else, if you’d like to order your copies direct from the studio, please shoot me an email. Direct orders will get a discount on the trilogy plus I’m known for throwing in a freebie of some kind as a thank you for ordering direct.

If you’d like to grab your copy from your online retailer of choice in paperback or eBook instead, please go here for AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING, which is the first book in this final arc that wraps up the first act of the superhero series, THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA.

Thanks.

New Dawn: A Superhero Novel [The Axiom-man Saga Book 6]

Posted on December 13, 2025 7:37 am by A.P. Fuchs

New Dawn: A Superhero Novel [The Axiom-man Saga Book 6]

It has been two years since Redsaw reopened the Doorway of Darkness. Now, he reigns over the city, his throne set high, his sway almighty and powerful.

Everyone, even those with their own dark empire, are under his control. But he needs more. It is time to bring his master into the realm of Planet Earth and dominate the land.

All he needs is a power boost from mass death and chaos to achieve his dream.

While the threat of permanent darkness looms above the city, two figures emerge from the shadows, helping the remaining survivors and saving lives, disrupting Redsaw’s planned chaos.

And one of them dares to approach his throne and challenge his position.

No mere mortal would stand a chance against Redsaw’s power . . . except maybe one.

Bigfoot and Sci-fi Dystopia On Top for the Last 30 Days

Posted on December 6, 2025 10:38 am by A.P. Fuchs

Bigfoot and Sci-fi Dystopia On Top for the Last 30 Days

As of this morning, these three titles are topping the charts here at Coscom Entertainment. (Note these top spots are about a week old as things update roughly every seven days. AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING has exceeded what’s being shown now.)

Bigfoot has always been hot and he’s a draw when I table at Winnipeg Comiccon. This anthology series co-edited with Eric S. Brown (whose a big name in bigfoot horror) was a lot of fun. Perhap it might come back at some future point as I do have cover art for two more volumes. We’ll see.

As for Melinda Marshall’s THE TYPHON PROJECT, that was last year. Coming from here before the year is out are all three books in her ONE BRIGHT FUTURE Trilogy, which was originally published elsewhere for the first two books before that publisher went out of business. We’re bringing things back along with the long-awaited final installment in her trilogy.

Stay tuned for those releases.

Thank you to everyone who supported these small press authors over that past thirty days. As you can see, Bigfoot and sci-fi dystopia were the hot ones over the past 30 days with some superhero stuff yet to post it’s placement amongst these top three.

Hope you enjoyed the stories.

Transformations (The Axiom-man Saga, Episode No. 4)

Posted on November 21, 2025 3:03 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Transformations (The Axiom-man Saga, Episode No. 4)

Axiom-man failed . . . and Redsaw won.

In the dark of a coffin, Gabriel awakes, powers absent. Unable to move from the horrendous damage he took from Redsaw, trapped and alone, Gabriel must not only fight his way out, but learn how to fight anew altogether.

When a mysterious woman named Aiyesha confronts him in a location unknown, Gabriel’s survival is put to the test as this dangerous stranger leads him down a path of combat and self-discovery.

To complicate matters, the gray-hooded figure that was spotted in the city before is here with him as well, an unknown visitor until it speaks one name.

Removed from the rest of the world and forced into a regiment designed to awaken the warrior within, Gabriel prepares to meet the one person who will be waiting for him at the end of this transformative journey.

The one man Gabriel fears the most.

He cannot fail.

Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Posted on November 17, 2025 6:13 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Yesterday, Sunday morning, I sent the second book in the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy, AXIOM-MAN: TRANSFORMATIONS, off to the printer. I also uploaded the various eBook versions needed for my eBook distributors (this was talked about in this past weekend’s newsletter).

Already some of the eBook listings have started to pop up online. Once the paperback lists too, then I’ll do an official launch of the book and its delegated page here on the website.

As for the final installment, AXIOM-MAN: NEW DAWN, as of this blog entry I just got it back from the editor so the next task is to go through the edits before beginning the production procedure, which involves a final read-through. The cover art is also done. It just needs the design and layout.

What’s great about a superhero series like this is once your design is settled upon–like in the first book, AXIOM-MAN–you just carry it over to the next then the next, etc. No need to think of new fonts or anything like that except for the title of the adventure, which is quite easy.

Really excited for you guys to read TRANSFORMATIONS. Straight off, I’ll tell you the title is the plot. Ahhh, off to press.

Get ready.

Soon.
