Up Around the Bend: What is Coming

Posted on September 9, 2019 6:33 pm by A.P. Fuchs

I’ve been very busy behind the scenes here at Axiom-man Central. Presently, I’m working on PROJECT REBIRTH, which is my master plan to get things going again writing and publishing . . . and cartooning? Yes. As part of my grand comeback, I’ve decided to get back into the world of comics because it was comics that got me started down the book path and everything else I’ve done since. There are plans. There is work being done. Rebuilding what was lost is taking place at a steady rate. Healing that which was broken is also taking place. Applying lessons from the past both professionally and personally is also occurring.

Bottom line: Lots is happening.

Some of what you can expect coming from up around the bend:

– Resumption of my newsletter, The Canister X Transmission

– A Patreon account with special content just for patrons

– Order fulfillment of the Axiom-man/Auroraman: Frozen Storm Kickstarter (if you missed the Kickstarter, the published book is available on the left)

– Publication of projects that were temporarily put on hold when life went to crap

– Bigtime expansion and growth of The Axiom-man Saga and associated products

– Revving up public appearances and media again

– New YouTube channel

– More . . .

Now understand, I’m a one-man band so while the above is presently being worked on, that doesn’t mean all of it is going to happen right away. Creating things takes time. Lots of time, even when working steady. Just how it is. Please be patient and keeping checking back here for updates. Announcements will also spill out of the social media machine as things are released into the world.

In the meantime, consider expanding your A.P. Fuchs collection while you wait. Plenty of books and comics to choose from on the left. I also ship direct, which gets you a signature and a personal message if you so choose.

Look after each other this week. Stand tall.

Posted on September 8, 2019 11:16 am by A.P. Fuchs

Announcement: A.P. Fuchs’s long-running newsletter, The Canister X Transmission, will be returning in the near future.

Once I get a few more things done here at Axiom-man Central, my weekly newsletter will once again start going out on Saturdays. We were in the middle of Year Five when I had to take a break to take care of life stuff. Year Five–now dubbed “The Long Year Five”–will resume quite soon so make sure you’ve signed up for free either via the signup box on the right or by going here.

The newsletter is the only place you will find unique behind-the-scenes information, advance news on releases, and a lot of jackassery as I dump out my brain each week.

Public Journaling

Posted on August 9, 2017 9:30 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Public Journaling

Some say blogging is dead. Others still keep at it. I honestly don’t know if blogging is indeed dead, but I do know that writing is very much alive. I’ve been giving a lot of thought to blogging lately–as if I already don’t have enough to do–and want to revive this blog again. It used to be done five days a week, and most–perhaps all–of that was lost to the meltdown of 2014. Anyway, I was thinking that a good exercise would be to do some sort of weekly–maybe at one point daily–public journal. It could be about anything: Tell a life story, show a poem, post a picture and talk about it. Whatever.

In terms of weekly commitments, my main one is my newsletter. To add another, I’m hoping, won’t be too much. Who knows? Maybe one day there’d be enough journal entries to make a blook (a blog book)? The entries would probably be short, maybe a few hundred words, unless I really get going. The idea would be to clear the cobwebs and dump out whatever I’m thinking about. Some sort of alternative reading resource.

Blogging. It’s been awhile.

Journaling might be even better.

Remote Update

Posted on July 16, 2017 6:57 pm by A.P. Fuchs

This update is coming to you from the middle of the bush where the fish-flies are dreadful. However, it won’t be posted until I return to the city where there’s an Internet connection.

It is Saturday, July 15, 2017.

Hope I remember I have this entry on my smartphone otherwise I’m writing it for nothing.

This post is to notify you I’m still working and, as of this writing, have completed two penciled images for a client, with the third page needing the finishing pencils. All three will then be inked and the job will be complete.

AXIOM-MAN/AURORAMAN: FROZEN STORM is also in progress, and I’m aiming for a mid-September release so the book can go out to the Kickstarter backers.

Also in progress are a plethora of small art pieces which will eventually show up on my Instagram account. Search “#apfuchs” to be connected for when the viewing takes place.

Reminder: Continuous weekly mayhem can be found via my newsletter, THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION, at www.tinyletter.com/apfuchs

Still running on fumes, but am getting things done.

Remote update concluded.

Coming Up for Air – Work Updates

Posted on June 27, 2017 8:47 pm by A.P. Fuchs

This week’s newsletter, first draft.

Writing this to “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult. A classic song with profound meaning.

The last book I published was the tenth-anniversary edition of Axiom-man. That was way back in October of 2016. Unless you’re a subscriber to my newsletter, The Canister X Transmission, then it might seem like I haven’t done anything since.

The opposite is true. It’s just that nothing’s out yet. However, 2017 will see an avalanche of releases because the following are written and are awaiting production. I just need to write one more book, then away we go.

1) Secret Project No. 1 (Newsletter readers know the title)
2) Secret Project No. 2 (Newsletter readers know the title)
3) Flash Attack: Thrilling Stories of Terror, Adventure, and Intrigue
4) The Canister X Transmission: Year Three

The publishing order has yet to be determined, but I’m pretty sure I know what I’m going to do.

Also written is Secret Project No. 3, a prestige-format comic book, and the graphic novel Fox, which has been in the thumbnailing stage since time immemorial.

There are a couple of more projects close to completion, but I’ll save those for another time. Point is, 2017 is going to be a big year and it’s going to start happening soon.

Okay, that’s enough for now. Heading back down into the mines. I’ve found a tunnel I wasn’t expecting and need to explore it.

Almost Over the Hump – Still Working

Posted on May 29, 2017 10:03 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Got the Tragically Hip playing in the background as I write this. This song specifically:

Been working very hard on a number of things and am approaching the crest of the hill. Like, twenty feet from the top. I’m hoping by the end of the upcoming weekend I’ll be over the hump and it’ll be smooth sailing from there.

Subscribing to my newsletter is a good way to keep up-to-date with all of this.

Getting awfully tired and took on too much work; a bad habit I have. It’s difficult for me to say no to work from others and work I impose on myself. A long while back I decided that for the last half of 2017 I won’t be doing any more freelance gigs unless I promised you something beforehand.

Anyway, this is just a quick note to let you know I’m still working and there should be some announcements soon about upcoming releases.

Brief Entry – Working

Posted on March 30, 2017 9:04 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Just a quick note to say I’m working my ass off behind-the-scenes and getting things done.

The best way to find out what I’ve been working on week-to-week is through my newsletter, which you can subscribe to via the subscription box on the right.

There will also be announcements on this blog in the near future as to what releases are coming your way.

Stay tuned.

What is Coming Up in 2017

Posted on December 30, 2016 9:23 pm by A.P. Fuchs

I commit to nothing.

Bwahahaha.

Post over.

Kidding.

However, I meant the above: I commit to nothing.

Instead of doing the usual writer shtick of announcing what projects are coming out and when, I’m simply going to announce them as I complete them.

There are only three confirmed titles coming from me in 2017 thus far. They have already been announced on this blog, but I will mention them again and mention why I know they are guaranteed to be released.

The Canister X Transmission: Year Three – This is being written week-to-week and, like Years One and Two, the collections have been published within a couple of months of that newsletter’s year having ended.

Untitled Flash Fiction Collection – This is part of the Year Three experience, so each week a new piece of flash fiction is sent out to readers. A total of 60 pieces of flash fiction will comprise this collection–52 from the weekly newsletter, a 53rd from the collected edition of the newsletter–and the remainder to be written afterward.

Axiom-man and Auroraman: Frozen Storm – This is a novel I will be writing for a kickstarter project that begins in March. Since it’s being kickstarted, and assuming Auroraman creator Jeff Burton and I hit our goal, this book will be published on time for backers.

Regarding Secret Project No. 1 and Secret Project No. 3–projects mentioned in my newsletter–they will be announced upon completion. What about Secret Project No. 2, you ask? Since it ties directly into Secret Project No. 1, I can’t say anything about it just yet.

As for other works in various stages of finishing, same deal: they will be announced upon completion.

Commit to nothing.

I have also restructured my 2017 on-line marketing efforts and just today finished automating the whole year. There will be some manual posts but the rest will be the social media bots doing my bidding.

Your best bet in keeping up-to-date on things is by regularly checking this blog or subscribing to my newsletter.

Have a safe and Happy New Year.

See you in 2017.

Axiom-man and Auroraman: Frozen Storm Kickstarter Announcement

Posted on December 21, 2016 4:58 pm by A.P. Fuchs

It is with great pleasure that A.P. Fuchs and Jeff Burton announce the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for the team-up novel, Axiom-man and Auroraman: Frozen Storm.

Not only will this Kickstarter fund the novel, but also fund Auroraman No. 1. Earlier in 2016, Jeff kickstarted Issue 0 to great success so we’re excited to work on this dual effort together and bring you a fantastic issue of Auroraman complete with a short comic at the end that leads into Frozen Storm.

Jeff and I have already discussed the general outline for the story and can’t wait to show you what’s in store as time gets closer to launching the Kickstarter into full gear.

I can, however, tell you one thing about Frozen Storm and it’s this: these icy villains put the abominable snowman to shame.

Keep watching this blog for more announcements, same with my Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, the newsletter, and more. And, of course, stay tuned to the official Auroraman Facebook page.

2017 is going to be one cold year and it’s going to take two superpowered heroes to keep the ice at bay.

Here’s Jeff’s promo video for the announcement:
