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

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.

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.

Authortube: What is Marathon Writing?

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?

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?

Posted on March 12, 2025 6:20 pm by A.P. Fuchs

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.

Authortube: Beta Readers | An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran

Posted on January 8, 2025 11:42 am by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: Beta Readers | An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran

Prompted by a Facebook post upon which I was able to give my opinion on beta readers, I decided to make this Authortube video discussing the same and give my answer in video form as well.

Warning, this video might be controversial and you might not agree with what I have to say. That’s fair and that’s your right. This is just the opinion of a self-publishing veteran (22 years) who’s part of the old guard of writers, so to speak.

For those curious, I’ve played the role of author, publisher, and editor. I’ve done deals with New York and abroad. My label was also a traditional publishing house for a time. These items are listed so you know where I’m coming from.

Anyway, please enjoy this old guy’s opinion on beta readers and if a writer should use them or not.

Thanks for watching.

Please subscribe for all the latest Authortube videos!

Peace.
