Caught in Black Headlights Poetry Book Bestseller
Just a simple thank you to those who have been supporting my poetry book, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS. It means a lot that a book of verse and rhyme are catching peoples’ interest.
Of course, poetry had to lose out to superheroes and monsters, but who doesn’t love METAHUMANS VS THE UNDEAD?
Anyway, thank you.
Authortube: How to Write Your Back Cover Synopsis | 3 Easy Steps
Authortube: How to Write Your Back Cover Synopsis | 3 Easy Steps
Most writers complain when it comes to part of making a book where the back cover synopsis has to be written. Plenty of writers struggle with writing it . . . but it doesn’t have to be that way because, in truth, it’s a basic process. Case in point: If you’re able to sum up your book in one to four words as a title, it’s guaranteed you can sum up the same but just a little more loosely.
Follow these three simple steps and you’ll be writing your back cover synopsis with ease.

It’s a work-in-progress but all episodes of the REALM AND HEROES: STORY TIME podcast with A.P. FUCHS are now being uploaded to Patreon with free access to all. The feed also syncs with Spotify, if that’s your podcast venue.
It’ll take a bit to upload them all but we’re making steady progress. The watch/listen version is already there but I wanted the purely audio version there as well since, well, that’s what podcasts are: audio. I’m just really glad the Story Time Podcast is now on Patreon.
Join me and my patrons for horror, monsters, superheroes, books, comics, essays, and a whole bunch of other stuff–including the podcast!–on Patreon via the graphic above.
See you there.
Remember TikTok?
Remember TikTok?
Because I promote my YouTube channel so much here on this site, this is just a friendly reminder that I’m on TikTok, too, so if that’s your main video content platform on the Web, you can find me here. Lots of videos up, mostly Pop Culture stuff. Fun place despite some controversey surrounding the platform. I just like sharing superheroes and monsters on there.
Hope to see you there!
Peace.

My name is . . .

We’ve also been active in the Authortube arena so if you’re a writer reading this, you’re more than welcome to check it out.
My, perhaps, too many social media presences are:
My Patreon page is here. It’s a very important place where I post serial novels, serial comics, essays and articles on the creative arts business, behind-the-scenes insights, art, photos, and more.

Hope to see you on the inside.

Vortex Books and Comics
Vortex Books and Comics
All right, folks, listen up. I’m late to the party but horror authors Brian Keene and Mary SanGiovanni opened up a comic and book store in Columbia, PA called Vortex Books and Comics.
If you’re in the area, head down and support a couple of writers displaying their passion for the written word through sharing books and comics with others.
Brian has been a long-standing figure in the field and has won numerous awards. Mary is also a prolific author with several books under her belt. I know that this store effort is going to be one fueled with passion and opportunity to reach readers in a way that perhaps they might not have been reached before. Better, it’s an independent author-friendly store with little-known quality titles awaiting discovery.
I’m really excited to see where this bookstore endeavor goes, and Brian’s no dummy. I trust his business sense to make the store a success. And besides, I’m pretty sure Mary will keep him in check should he smoke too many cigars and starts talking about how he just met The Defenders.

The Glamorous Life of a Writer: Writing Axiom-man
The Glamorous Life of a Writer:
Writing Axiom-man
As you can see, the writing life is just like the movies. I have an assistant, a publisher ringing my phone off the hook because I’m late on deadline and they need the manuscript ASAP, stacks of notebooks and looms of paper. Books line the walls and typewriters and pens litter the table.
But if you squint your eyes just the right way, you’ll see the truth about a writer writing. This is how I bring you stories. This is where the work is done.
This . . . is writing Axiom-man.
