  • Status Report – 120224

    Posted on December 2, 2024 7:57 am by A.P. Fuchs
    status report 120224

    Status Report – 120224:

    The main driver creative workwise these days is catch-up. I’m not dreadfully behind, but behind enough that it’s a bother, but I’m more behind in the business side of this industry than the creative part. After all, about 10% of this stuff is the making of it; the other 90% is running it.

    We had hoped to end the year with the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy. For those who missed the news in my newsletter, all is in order except for a couple items outside anybody’s control. So, in terms of the creator keeping his end of the bargain, this has been done. It terms of others, not so much so we’re in a temporary holding pattern. I have a plan if this holding pattern continues as I don’t want it to push the trilogy way down the timeline. The odds of finishing 2024 with the trilogy release are pretty much nil but very early in the New Year is completely possible and doable.

    Still, we got three books out this year (with a possible fourth up in the air, an Eventual Book): AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, and THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX.

    Now that I’m dealing with a layoff from work, I won’t have to pull double duty and work both this job and the other one. So far, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been able to get a good chunk of rest in and also make some solid headway in publishing-related items that were more “pick at” projects before due to the limited hours.

    A list is made and is being worked through. More stuff is being added to the list as I think of it. This is a longview program, meaning I’m giving myself three months to complete the items. All things being equal, three months is more than what’s required but you never know what might come up, like our logistics issue with the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy.

    All right, I need to do something I’ve been putting off solely due to time.

    Last, a special Patreon index is coming to the blog. The idea is it’ll help you find items and navigate the Patreon page with ease right here at the blog. This will give you the chance to check out some content as well as consider joining the Patreon journey.

    By the way, it’s Minifigure Monday here on 120224 and an amazing 1989 Batman is on the docket.

    Enjoy.

    This has been your Status Report for 120224.

  • Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September

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

    Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September

    A.P. Fuchs Giant Alligators and Zombies and Mech Bestselling Books

    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.

  • The Realm of Heroes and Monsters – Story Time Podcast: The Complete Second Season

    Posted on September 29, 2024 3:47 am by A.P. Fuchs

    The Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time Podcast: The Complete Second Season

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters Story Time with A.P. Fuchs Season 2

    Last weekend we wrapped up the Second Season of THE REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast! Twenty-one episodes, twenty-one full-length short stories of superheroes, monsters, and horror.

    The format was simple: Brief intro, straight dive into Story Time, then the Story Behind the Story, and, as usual, a post-credits scene. Done and done, the focus being all about the story. As for the finale, you not only got a story, but the story behind the story for that particular short story plus a story behind the story for the second season of the podcast itself! And, oh, did I mention a Spoken Word performance post-credits? Yeah, that’s there, too.

    Season Three is coming with new stories and a new format, but that will arrive once we finish our 2024 book releases. In the meantime, the entire second season is available for you to listen to below.

    Please subscribe to the channel so you’re not only set for other great video content, but also for Season Three when it arrives before end of year.

    This second season drew upon several books for the tales, MAGIC MAN PLUS 15 TALES OF TERROR being the main source. If you’d like to show support for this past season, please consider grabbing a copy in paperback or eBook for your library. Book info here.

    Enjoy!

    Time for stories.
