Booktube: Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection Book Spotlight

About CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS:

“A.P. Fuchs’ s Caught in Black Headlights highlights life things, all sorts of things, with a wondrous and unrelenting discernment and a brilliant sense of lyricism.” – John Urbancik, author of Annabel Lee, in Shadow

All right, World,
This is how it’s going to be:
Rhymes and verse
Melodies rehearsed
Across life’s rocky sea.

Listen up, Folks,
This is how we’re going to play:
Thoughts and comments,
Displays of indominance,
Making the rounds all day.

Read a poem, maybe two,
Pick three if you wish to dare.
Ramblings and coherence,
Sometimes jots of incoherence
Anything for poetic flare.

So get some eyes on some words
And give the brain a try.
You win some.
You lose most.
But in the end, Solomon said,
It’s vapor in the sky.

Enjoy and explore,
Please do, I implore.
Let’s talk about life bizarre
‘Cause it’s pretty complex stuff
Said Harvey Pekar.

April: A Love Story Book Spotlight

Posted on January 26, 2024 5:49 am by A.P. Fuchs

April: A Love Story Book Spotlight

Some moments come along and your world—your life—changes. Something shifts inside and everything’s the same yet somehow different. Sometimes someone comes into your life and helps you to breathe for the first time, to think with clarity and to give you truth and joy.

Often, we never see it coming. But it also happens when we need it the most and, usually, when we don’t realize we need it.

For Joseph Bailey, life has come to a standstill; existence, living, call it what you will, have stopped moving, stopped flowing, stopped growing. Those he knew while growing up seemed to have gone down the right path, creating a so-called normal life. He’s not sure if he followed.

Spending lonely nights writing comic book scripts and hazy afternoons watching cartoons brings him to his knees, and he needs something—maybe even someone—more. One Friday, while at a coffee shop working on a new comic script, Joseph is interrupted when a quirky girl with long black hair and smooth-as-marble gray eyes sits down across from him, seeking sanctuary from her controlling boyfriend, Dan.

Her name is April.

All seems under control even when Dan follows her in to the coffee shop, looking to patch things up. At least, that’s what was supposed to have happened. Once Dan leaves, Joseph figures his work is done and April will be on her way, never to be seen again. Instead, she stays, removes her sweater and orders an apple cider. Just then something slips inside Joseph, something good, right and pure.

Their weekend begins.

From a quiet night in an old railway car to seeking the undertones of humanity at the art gallery, to bringing to light the tender commonalities that we as humans share, April is a story of how a simple chance meeting can hold you and protect you, and give you what the human heart is continuously after—

Hope.

Zombie Fight Night: Battles of the Dead City Book Spotlight

Posted on January 19, 2024 5:55 am by A.P. Fuchs

Zombie Fight Night: Battles of the Dead City Book Spotlight

In 2027 A.D., the Zombie Apocalypse took the world by storm and no one was prepared. Countless lives were lost as humanity battled to regain control of their planet. Eventually, they did, and out of the ashes of fallen civilization rose a new world, one bent on revenge against the hordes of the undead that took everything from them.

Enter Tony Sterpanko, entrepreneur extraordinaire who found a way to capitalize on humanity’s thirst for vengeance against the zombie. He created Zombie Fight Night, a worldwide craze where the undead men and women who remained from the apocalypse faced off against people and beings that once existed on Earth or were existing for the first time.

It is ten years later and at Blood Bay Arena, fortunes are won and lost. Men are made millionaires over night. Others are not so lucky and find themselves broken and destitute.

Mick Chelsey is one such man: gambling addict, lousy husband and Zombie Fight Night fanatic.

Except now, in order to still watch the fights and try to win back all he’s lost, he needs to bet fast and big otherwise death will come for him.

Let the battles begin.

Zombies fight Bigfoot, werewolves, vampires, Axiom-man, Bruce Lee, samurai, kickboxers, robots and more in this ode to blood-and-guts action from Blood of the Dead author, A.P. Fuchs.

You ready to get it on?

Zomtropolis: A Record of Life in a Dead City Book Spotlight

She Came Back into His Life

Only to Die on Him

This transmission is a record of life in a dead city.

Marty loved Selena. Maybe too much, but after their breakup, everything went to hell, including the world around him. Now, alone in a zombie-infested city, Marty must come to terms with what’s happened both to his heart and to the world around him.

The journal begins and is transmitted to you while he deals with the past, the present, even the future, including the woman who tore his heart out and has come back into his life again. Except, she keeps dying on him and returning from the dead.

Is he slipping? Have too many nights with the bottle messed with his brain? Or is Marty simply falling apart because the world has died?

Hope, loss, pain.

The undead.

Welcome to Zomtropolis.

Memories of Death: A Vampire Romance Book Spotlight

Now submerged in the world of vampire slaying, Rose must come to terms with what that means for her relationship with Zach and if it’s even possible for the two of them to be together.

Meanwhile, every moment spent with Rose helps bridge the gaps in Zach’s memory, reminding him how much they meant to each other in their former life.

Rose’s father, Marcus, is now even more dedicated to purging the Earth of the undead, so much so he’s willing to kill the only boy Rose had ever loved to help make the world a safer place for her.

Likewise, a plot is in play to infiltrate the Slayer Order, even at the expense of a loved one.

The countdown begins and Zach and Rose must come to a decision as to where their loyalties lie, or if they’re going to put each other above all else and face the consequences together.

Discovery of Death: A Vampire Romance Book Spotlight

Zach and Rose had fallen in love during their sophomore year, their worlds completely changed and utterly belonging to each other’s. It was the first time either had fallen in love, deeply, purely. Aiming for a future together, plans were interrupted when Zach went missing for three long months, leaving Rose distraught, heartbroken and depressed.

Zach awakens in the dark of a coffin, his memory erased, his life and feelings for Rose forgotten. A strange group of people who identify themselves as his family reveal he has become a vampire, one of the undead, and is now a being with incredible power and a thirst for blood.

However, during Zach’s absence, Rose learns of her own secret heritage: she comes from a long line of vampire slayers, hellbent on eradicating the unholy threat of the undead from the face of the Earth. Now, not only does she need to try and get over the young man she loves, she must also come to terms with her new life and what that means for her future.

It is only when her path accidentally crosses with Zach’s does lost love begin to surface again.

Redemption of the Dead Book Spotlight

Posted on November 24, 2023 6:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Redemption of the Dead Book Spotlight

A Rising Army.

The Devil.

War.

The forces of Good and Evil are gathering, each side preparing themselves for what could be their last confrontation because the commander of the armies of darkness has arrived on Earth—the devil himself.

Overwhelmed after witnessing the manifestation of Heaven’s fallen angel, Lucifer, Billie is assigned two final tasks before the big battle. These assignments take her across the world where she meets two German brothers who prove to be tremendous allies as she goes to recruit brave men and women for humanity’s last stand, and the strange supernatural tool required to finally set all things right.

Back in the city, Joe and Tracy have to lean on each other and learn that a world full of zombies with Hell’s army at the door isn’t a time to keep secrets and risk the lives of others to keep them safe. The two go head-to-head as they struggle to survive what they discover are the last days of the zombie invasion and the powerful supernatural forces behind it.

This final installment in the UNDEAD WORLD TRILOGY is a wild adventure through a post-apocalyptic world that takes the reader to the very gates of Hell for one last strike against an enemy that has destroyed a planet.
