    Memories of Death: A Vampire Romance Book Spotlight

    Memories of Death title card thumbnail

    Now submerged in the world of vampire slaying, Rose must come to terms with what that means for her relationship with Zach and if it’s even possible for the two of them to be together.

    Meanwhile, every moment spent with Rose helps bridge the gaps in Zach’s memory, reminding him how much they meant to each other in their former life.

    Rose’s father, Marcus, is now even more dedicated to purging the Earth of the undead, so much so he’s willing to kill the only boy Rose had ever loved to help make the world a safer place for her.

    Likewise, a plot is in play to infiltrate the Slayer Order, even at the expense of a loved one.

    The countdown begins and Zach and Rose must come to a decision as to where their loyalties lie, or if they’re going to put each other above all else and face the consequences together.

  • Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

    self-publishing the long game

    2023 has been about me making broadstroke creation moves, playing the long game the key component behind each stroke.

    There is a reason I’ve been regularly posting videos to this site despite it being about a writer/artist amlnd books and comics.

    There’s a reason behind setting myself up and creating content for various platforms.

    There is a reason behind why I constructed Patreon 2.0 as I did.

    The list goes on.

    What you’ve been seeing on this site over the past year are groundwork foundation-laying moves that will aid 2024. You can’t build a house on sand. You need concrete.

    This is PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 and it’s working.

    Every action I take, and as I’ve mention in my newsletter, are meant to help Future Me along with Future Works which, in turn, help Future You, dear reader.

    A lot of PROJECT REBUILD 1.0 was more theory-based and planning-based versus actual execution of the theory. PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 has been the execution of 1.0.

    As I state in the below video, there is method to the madness.

    vLog – Method to the Madness

    2024 is looking to be a fairly big year self-publishing-wise. Lots of titles, so at present I’m mentally mapping out the year in terms of how to release everything and when.

    But that’s 2024 and we’re not there yet.

    2023 will continue, and finish, as it has been thus far.

    A new content schedule will be created for 2024, but as of now, this schedule will remain.

    Thanks for tuning in this year.

    More to come.

    Peace.

    Discovery of Death: A Vampire Romance Book Spotlight

    Discovery of Death title card thumbnail

    Zach and Rose had fallen in love during their sophomore year, their worlds completely changed and utterly belonging to each other’s. It was the first time either had fallen in love, deeply, purely. Aiming for a future together, plans were interrupted when Zach went missing for three long months, leaving Rose distraught, heartbroken and depressed.

    Zach awakens in the dark of a coffin, his memory erased, his life and feelings for Rose forgotten. A strange group of people who identify themselves as his family reveal he has become a vampire, one of the undead, and is now a being with incredible power and a thirst for blood.

    However, during Zach’s absence, Rose learns of her own secret heritage: she comes from a long line of vampire slayers, hellbent on eradicating the unholy threat of the undead from the face of the Earth. Now, not only does she need to try and get over the young man she loves, she must also come to terms with her new life and what that means for her future.

    It is only when her path accidentally crosses with Zach’s does lost love begin to surface again.

  • Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    canister x transmission collections

    Well, MailChimp pulled the plug on TinyLetter, the newsletter engine I’ve using to send THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION for about eight years. It was a great platform because it had a simple and direct, user-friendly interface and was perfect for a text-based newsletter like mine. But, alas, all good things must come to an end, I suppose, so thanks to fellow author Bobby Nash, he turned me on to MailerLite and from there I’ll be able to continue to send out new issues of the newsletter week after week. This change, of course, will involve some link adjusting and some web design stuff since all my sites have the TinyLetter subscribe box.

    Either way, we now have a new provider and there should be no interupption in service.

    You’ll also receive a free thriller novelette upon subscribing. Goes out Saturdays.

    Goodbye, Tinyletter. Thank you for your service.

    If you’d like to be a part of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION while I finish getting things all set up, please email me and I’ll add you to the subscriber list. You can also use the form above. The email-me option is there in case of glitches.

    Thanks.

    Zomtropolis and Giganti-gator Death Machine Bestsellers

    Zomtropolis and Giganti-gator Death Machine Bestsellers

    As per my distributor (Ingram), these two recent releases have been my bestsellers last I checked. I’m really proud of both books because they allowed me to explore the two areas of the monster genre that I really like: zombies and gigantice creatures. To see that people are picking up these books (and in print, no less, in this eBook era) is truly gratifying. At the end of it all, I just want people to read my stories.

    Thank you, dear reader, for making ZOMTROPOLIS and GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE bestsellers.

    Grab your copy of ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY in paperback or eBook here:

    Amazon (US)

    And snag a copy of GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE in paperback or eBook here:

    And if you’re needing your superhero fix, lots to choose from in the CANISTER X BOOK AND COMIC SHOP right here on the site. Multiple vendors to choose from as well.

    Peace.

  • Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Coming Soon

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Coming Soon

    Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Cover Sketch

    For those who read this past Saturday’s newsletter, you know I had an Axiom-man novelette that I needed to do something with. Well, the decision has been made and this week I’ve been expanding it into a longer adventure team-up story.

    THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in terms of the main series features Axiom-man in solo adventures whereas the team-up stories are side tales.

    AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY is one of them.

    What you see above is the cover, that is, what the cover looks like before it’s made into an official book cover. All covers to THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA are designed by me then the crude sketch is handed over to Axiom-man cover artist Justin Shauf for pencils and inks.

    My hope with this cover is to do something different in terms of superhero covers and it’s all in the coloring. I’ve never seen it done before but I think it’s a unique concept that can be pulled off. Stay tuned.

    Due to book production time, this won’t be released before 2023’s clock runs out but look for it early in the New Year.

    In the meantime, check out THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA to get caught up. Thanks and enjoy some good superheroic reading time.

    Peace.
