For those unaware, I keep a LinkTree. The One Link, as I call it. From there you can go to every single place I am on on the Web. YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, this site . . . the list goes on. We also did up a new color scheme the other day, but this weekend I updated my LinkTree (which you can subscribe to) with a catalog of my books via their new store feature. It’s pretty cool and part of the LinkTree ultra update.
This morning was spent producing the premiere episode of Season Two of the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTER: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast.
We’re doing things differently this season. Of course, Story Time is the name of the game and a large part of the show, but the format has changed and the stories are much longer.
This is just a quick notice that this exciting pulp superhero novel has just gone to press!
Moments ago everything was uploaded to the various printers and distributors. Now it’s an issue of waiting for everything to be processed before launch!
Finally, AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY will be out soon!
I’m pleased to report that Machine Month comes to a close today. We’ve been logging major hours at the day job plus doing the creative work and keeping you entertained throughout the week here on this blog and elsewhere.
I’m tired.
Four-day weekend starting tomorrow. I plan to recharge and get a certain book out to you.
What you have above is a sneak peek at an AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY cover partial reveal, which is coming out very soon. The partial cover was revealed on the socials to great excitement. It’s been a good long while since Axiom-man’s had an adventure and now his time has come and this time, he’s not alone.
Writing Axiom-man team-ups is always fun. FROZEN STORM was a blast (check it out if you haven’t already. Great reviews).
And upcoming this year is the long-awaited BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY! Yes, in the fall three books will come out and wrap up the first act to THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA.
If you watch my YouTube channel, the thought has probably crossed your mind as to how I can afford my collecting hobby and toy collection. The truth is: I can’t. I’m a struggling artist like most out there.
Here’s what I do:
1) Never pay retail if/when possible. The majority of my collection comes from dollar stores like Dollar Tree and Dollarama. Example: action figures that retail at the toy store or comic shop for $20+ (before taxes), I can get for $5 or less. Same with the hotwheels. All from the dollar store. And the Funkos? Well…
2) Find a vendor with good deals where things are always discounted, not because something’s wrong with it, but simply because it’s a more affordable vendor. Again, never pay retail if it can be helped.
3) Plan your shipping. Not all vendors offer free shipping upon purchase so what you do is save up and get a bunch of collectibles at once. Yes, a larger bill but you would have spent the same amount on the collectibles anyway so that renders that argument moot. What you’re doing by buying in bulk is amortizing the shipping cost across several units so your per-unit shipping cost goes way down.
4) Gifts. People know I love action figures and toys so I get a bunch of those as gifts, and it’s those gifts I share with you, like my Superman Christmas video. Not talking value here but strictly retail, out of my entire collection out of all the things I collect, I’ve paid about half retail all told. Half.
Yes, us Winnipeggers are cheap and know how to find a deal. We only pay retail if absolutely required.
That’s my secret. (Oh, and you guys checking out my books and comics helps too.)
The Realm of Heroes and Monsters:Story Time –The Complete First Season
Last weekend we completed the first full season of the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast. We’re taking a month break before coming back with round two.
What’s planned? Oh, some things, including a new show format and, of course, more stories.
In the meantime, you can tune in and listen to it in its entirely via the following sources:
The edge is where we stand as of this entry. The edge of what?
Of things being complete.
We now have all the pieces so we’re finishing putting AXIOM-MAN/ CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY together for you.
CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS is pretty much ready to go outside of a final review.
We just finished Season One of the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME podcast, with Season Two to start in a month. Make sure to subscribe to the channel so you’re set for the next season.
Besides formatting, THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX is done.
REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S01EP30 –
Odd Hunting
This is it! The Season One Finale of THE REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast! 30 episodes! 30 stories! (Well, actually, 31 because this episode is a DOUBLE!)
To kick of the show, Fuchs gives the background as to the whole superheroes and monsters thing and why those are the main two genres he writes in which, in turn, are the stories shared with you. The answer might surprise you.
Fuchs then gives a quick pep talk on the artist’s voice (any craft) prior to delivering a SECOND tale for this final episode. This one is a personal story and one from way back in Fuchs’s career.
And, of course, as always, stick around until after the credits for a quick special something.
See you in Season Two!
