Live Stream No. 3: Dystopian YA Author Melinda Marshall at Winnipeg Comic Con 2024

Live at Winnipeg Comic Con 2024 author A.P. Fuchs interviews author Melinda Marshall about her new Dystopian YA release, THE TYPHON PROJECT!

This book was a hot seller at the show and Melinda put a lot of work into it. The miracle of this book is the first draft was written in three days as part of a novel writing contest. Of course, it went through revisions and edits after, but getting a first draft out in three days is an impressive feat.

Listen to Melinda as she discusses her new book that debuted at the convention and found its way into many readers’ hands.

THE TYPHON PROJECT by Melinda Marshall:

Short synopsis:

To save humanity, Leah is among the chosen for genetic modification. She is sent to The Typhon Project with the hope of finding a cure to save what’s left of the planet. But she can’t shake the suspicion something isn’t right.

Available in paperback and eBook at your favorite bookstore or online vendor like:

Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September

Posted on October 2, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September

Though I’m not one to have a constant eye on the sales charts, running a publishing house requires administration now and then to keep things organized and knowing what’s where and what’s what so that, should the paperwork ever need to be looked at by an authority from the outside, I have all my ducks in a row.

I’m a huge proponent of proper business management for any creator regardless of craft or medium. If you’re selling your work, you’re a business therefore things need to be addressed in that light.

September 2024 saw some cool titles for top sales. While true that every book is an author’s baby, let’s be honest, some babies are cuter than others. In the case of MECH APOCALYPSE, GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE, and ZOMTROPOLIS, these are babies I personally consider among the top cute ones in my crib. They also have favorable reviews so, I suppose, that means others think they’re cute too.

Ah, metaphors.

Thank you to everyone who supported these titles last month. I truly hope you enjoy(ed) reading them and that they take/took you on a wild ride through the fantastic, whether terrifying or scientific or a bit of both.

Oh, and let’s not forget the action part. Lots of that in all of them, too. I mean, monsters and mechs. What else would there be?

Thank you again. It means a lot to a creator when their work is supported. Like I’ve mentioned on this blog before, if I was independently wealthy, all this stuff would be free and paperbacks would only be charged at cost so a sweet deal for you. Until that day, thank you in advance for any further support.

– APF

Ps. If you want free stories, check out my podcast, THE REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS. Two seasons so far, 52 stories shared. More coming next season. Peace.

Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Seven – In Conclusion | What Book Marketers Don’t Want You to Know

It’s time to wrap up this video series on how to market your book when your book sales have come to a standstill. A lot was explored over the past six videos and, for this one, we summarize things and point out the one lesson that underscored the entire marketing series. Pay attention because it’s an important one.

Oh, and as a PSA, if anyone comes to you offering a secret method to book marketing, run. They are trying to sell you something and aren’t truly interested in your project. Watch this video for more on that.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout this series. I hope you learned something. It was also a good refresher for me. Time to keep putting things into practice. It’s the only way to market your books.

See you on the shelves!

Oh, and please subscribe for all the latest Authortube videos!

For this part of this book marketing series, A.P. Fuchs invites you to take a break and let things simmer. Starting with a chili metaphor, Fuchs explains the principle of letting things cook as you go about marketing your book and why that’s important.

There’s also a special tip on Return On Investment (ROI) and a reference to Harlan Ellison. Important stuff. Tune in.

Thanks.
