Axiom-man: Something Rotten Up North (Short Story):

When Axiom-man is notified of the dead coming back to life in Flin Flon, Manitoba, he takes flight and heads north to verify the terrible news. Upon his arrival, he is greeted by hordes of the walking dead and wonders if this outbreak is tied to his visit to a parallel Earth where the undead had replaced the living. As he struggles to combat the undead and search for survivors, Axiom-man soon discovers the problem is far worse than he thought.

Mr. Jitterbones (Short Story)

Posted on November 15, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Mr. Jitterbones (Short Story):

It is 1889, one year after the Ripper murders plagued London’s East End.

It’s Hallowe’en and homeless man Jack McClay is preparing to hand out treats to the poor children that wander the city streets. But like last autumn, something sinister lurks in the dark and this particular creature is out for one thing: blood, and it doesn’t care where it gets it. The creature appears . . . and it’s all skin and bones.

Clik-clakity-clak-clak.

Mr. Jitterbones has arrived.

This story also features the bonus poem, “The Night Mr. Jitterbones Came A’Hauntin’.”

Axiom-man: Black Water (Short Story)

Posted on November 14, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man: Black Water (Short Story):

Bodies litter the sand of a friendly beach. They have no muscles. No bones. They are just bags of skin.

And they are alive.

Axiom-man flies down to Florida to investigate only to discover this isn’t your average series of murders. Something else caused the deaths of these innocent people, and something else has caused them to rise.

Something unnatural, perhaps even supernatural.

Something . . . from beneath the ocean’s black water.

On Juggling Multiple Projects

Posted on January 15, 2018 12:56 pm by A.P. Fuchs

On Juggling Multiple Projects

I used to work on one novel, one short story, and a poem at the same time. Then I switched to working on one book and/or item at a time. Now I’m back to working on multiple things at once. It’s a stretch of the mind, to be sure, but also a method of getting a lot done because you are multitasking. These days I usually have one personal project, something freelance, and something art-related all happening at the same time. Thus far, things are working out okay. This will probably change in the future as the project schedule changes, but until then, I’ll stick with this method of working.

On a personal note, I am looking forward to things slowing down a bit. Can only go hard for so long until you burn out and, frankly, that’s already happened several times over. Gonna need time to recuperate but this going hard is all part of my masterplan so you gotta do what you gotta do when juggling multiple projects.

Onward.

NaNoWriMo Plans for 2015

Posted on October 28, 2015 12:42 pm by A.P. Fuchs

As much as I’d like to sit down and start a new novel from scratch, present deadlines dictate otherwise so even though this is my first year doing NaNoWriMo–I’ve always never bothered because I was writing anyway so just did my own thing–I’m not going to do it 100%. Yes, I’ll do the 50k, but no, I won’t be doing a new novel.

What I will be doing is the following, which will use up that 50k:

– Finish Zomtropolis (10-15k to go)

– Finish Mech Apocalypse 2 (25k to go)

– Two short story commissions (around 4-5k each)

If the above doesn’t tally 50k, then I’ll do something short to round it out. You’ve got to basically do about 1,700 words a day to achieve the NaNoWriMo goal. I can do that. As well, since I’m working the Comic Con this weekend, Nov. 1 is out for me as a writing day, so the earlier I can start is Monday. Might be Tuesday because the day after the con I’m usually trashed and just veg out.

Regardless, 50k before November is over. Done.
