Snow: A Storm’s Coming (Winter Deadlines)

Posted on October 10, 2019 12:23 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Snow usually hits Winnipeg around the end of October. This year it has come early. In fact, it’s snowing as I type this. Those white patches in the photo above are snow. Rumor has it a storm might hit this weekend. No matter. Since it’s Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend, I’ll be safe inside eating turkey.

The arrival of snow means it’s time for me to start getting my winter productivity plan underway, which is a variation on how, and what, I’m working on now.

I’m hoping this winter season is an opportunity to catch up on releasing books that should have come out while I was ill and, possibly, create some new ones. The next step in the process is to sit down and ponder timelines then break those general timelines down into smaller steps so deadlines can be adhered to. (My newsletter is a great place to keep up to date on timelines and work being done.)

Stay warm.

– APF

Ps. Tomorrow, a new chapter of my ongoing creature feature serial novel, Gigantigator Death Machine, hits Patreon! Don’t miss out.

‘Twas the 1.5 Weeks Before Winter Hibernation

Posted on October 20, 2017 10:40 pm by A.P. Fuchs

This is me the first time I tabled at the Central Canada Comic Con in 2007. It was also the same weekend my son was born. I’ve tabled every year since.
It’s coming up soon, but beginning November 1, I will be switching over to broadcast mode for the winter. Pre-programmed content will still air on my social media channels. I’ll also be broadcasting from this blog and, of course, there is my weekly newsletter (which you should totally be reading).

In work news:

Progress is being made on the book front, with many titles waiting in the wings to go through the production process before getting into your hands. This was an experiment for me–writing books in bulk–and was a lot of fun. It also meant not releasing anything for a year, but still a good experiment nonetheless. What this means for output in the future, I don’t know. I do need to be releasing titles more frequently, however. This blog will also have details on each project as they come out. You’ll also learn the names of Secret Projects Nos. 1 and 2 (which are written).

Also upcoming is the Central Canada Comic Con from October 27 to 29 at the RBC Convention Centre here in Winnipeg. This is my last public appearance for the year and, possibly, well into next year or even until 2019. I have some plans and experiments I want to run, but I can’t do them if I’m committed to shows and signings. It just makes for too much work, and I’m not as spry as I used to be when I first started out in this business.

I’m looking forward to hunkering down for the winter. I’m looking forward to the quiet. I’m looking forward to working without other things buzzing in the back of my brain.

I’m looking forward to making more books.

Galaxy Comics – Free Comic Book Day Appearance

Posted on May 3, 2017 9:40 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Once again, the gracious folks over at Galaxy Comics are hosting a creator showcase the same day as Free Comic Book Day (May 6). I’ll be there this Saturday not only checking out the free comics and emptying my subscription box for my take-homes, but also tabling on the second floor with superhero and monster books, and possibly some art. Other great Winnipeg creators will be there as well.

Please come down and join us as we celebrate a medium we love so much and discover new art and comics you might have never seen before.

Galaxy Comics is located at 200-1109 Henderson Highway here in Winnipeg.

(Oh, by the way, the Axiom-man/Auroraman: Frozen Storm Kickstarter ends tomorrow–Thursday, May 4–so please support that, too. Thank you.)

Prairie Superhero Companions – Axiom-man/Auroraman: Frozen Storm Kickstarter

Today, the citizens of Winnipeg found out about the Axiom-man/Auroraman: Frozen Storm Kickstarter via The Herald, a weekly newspaper. The city also found out what’s coming up for Axiom-man and the plans I have not just for him, but for the city as well.

Thank you to reporter Sheldon Birnie for latching onto the news story and writing such a fantastic article.

The article can be read on-line at the Winnipeg Free Press‘s website here.

Also, please consider pledging to support Axiom-man/Auroraman: Frozen Storm. The Kickstarter wraps May 4 and Auroraman creator, Jeff Burton, and I need your help. You can check out the Kickstarter here, which is packed with amazing reward tiers and all sorts of goodies. As well, feel free to share this blog post or link to the Kickstarter however you can.

Thank you in advance for any and all support.

FanQuest 2017 Appearance

Posted on March 1, 2017 9:43 pm by A.P. Fuchs

I will be tabling at the first-ever FanQuest here in Winnipeg, “created by fans, for fans,” as per their tagline.

The show runs May 26-28 at the University of Winnipeg in Riddell Hall.

Should be a lot of fun.

I’m going to be tabling small at this convention so that’s going to be an interesting experience, too. My main focus will be superhero and monster stuff as opposed to bringing everything. Might bring some art prints for sale as well.

Come down. Say hello. We’ll chat.

From October 28-30 I’ll be in Artist Alley at the Central Canada Comic Con (C4) here in Winnipeg at the RBC Convention Centre. This will mark my tenth year doing the event. Sheesh. Has it been that long? I started doing it in 2007. Damn. Getting old. But it’s a great show. A ton of people come out–over 40,000–and celebrate nerdy goodness for three days. I’ll be there, full-blown display and all. Books and comics will be available for purchase and signature. You can also bring books from home and I’ll be happy to sign those as well.

ChiSeries Winnipeg Appearance

Posted on September 25, 2016 9:21 pm by A.P. Fuchs

On October 5th, I will take part in the Halloween edition of ChiSeries Winnipeg alongside Eileen Bell and J.H. Moncrieff. We will be in the Travel Alcove at McNally Robinson Booksellers here in Winnipeg from 7:30 – 8:30pm. There will be readings of spooky stories and probably a Q and A. My plan is to read from Zombie Fight Night: Battles of the Dead.

Zombie Fight Night, along with the entirety of my Undead World Trilogy, will be on hand for purchase and signing.

Come down for some pre-Halloween fun and writerly good times.
