Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Posted on November 17, 2025 6:13 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Yesterday, Sunday morning, I sent the second book in the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy, AXIOM-MAN: TRANSFORMATIONS, off to the printer. I also uploaded the various eBook versions needed for my eBook distributors (this was talked about in this past weekend’s newsletter).

Already some of the eBook listings have started to pop up online. Once the paperback lists too, then I’ll do an official launch of the book and its delegated page here on the website.

As for the final installment, AXIOM-MAN: NEW DAWN, as of this blog entry I just got it back from the editor so the next task is to go through the edits before beginning the production procedure, which involves a final read-through. The cover art is also done. It just needs the design and layout.

What’s great about a superhero series like this is once your design is settled upon–like in the first book, AXIOM-MAN–you just carry it over to the next then the next, etc. No need to think of new fonts or anything like that except for the title of the adventure, which is quite easy.

Really excited for you guys to read TRANSFORMATIONS. Straight off, I’ll tell you the title is the plot. Ahhh, off to press.

Get ready.

Soon.

Reader Questions: What Application do You Use and is Paper Involved Anymore?

In our electronic age where most is done on-screen, asking if a writer still uses paper is a valid one. I can’t speak for other writers regarding their own process, but me? Both are involved from start to finish.

All is explained in this writing video so please be sure to check it out. Perhaps this electronic and paper mix might be of assistance to your own work?

Begin transmission . . .

Running from March 2024 to January 2025, The Canister X Transmission was sent via email to readers worldwide.

Year Seven broke a streak of two long newsletter years and was instead delivered to readers weekly without missing an issue.

Topics include: work updates, access to digital content, writing and publishing discussion, an open letter about the rise of AI, thoughts on life, points of amusement, and general fun.

Exclusive to this collection is a special newsletter, Issue Three Hundred Thirteen A, unavailable anywhere else.

Welcome to The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven.

Available in paperback at:

Amazon (US)

Amazon (CAN)

Amazon (UK)

Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

Posted on June 25, 2025 1:03 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

Turns of phrase. Manipulation of words. Writing beats and pacing. Take a concept and tell it once then spin it around and tell it again. There are so many versions of wordplay out there and it is every writer’s duty to play with those words if they want to bring their writing up a level or three.

A.P. Fuchs is of the opinion that every writer should listen to Eminem at least once. The man is a master at lyrics, poetry, flips of script and turns of phrase. Plenty of lessons about wordplay and pacing can be obtained by listening to his music.

Watch this short video as Fuchs explains why every writer should listen to Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, the one and only Eminem.

Thanks.

Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

Posted on March 12, 2025 6:20 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

What is purple prose?

You might have heard the term from seasoned writers or those just beginning. You might have even heard the term from your English teacher–but what is it?

Well, it has a boring definition with boring examples so in this video we cut to the heart of it and explain it simply and easily and how to avoid this writing crime.

Let’s go purple and have some educational fun!

Cheers and enjoy!

Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

In the age of new writers emerging all the time and various qualities of work being put out there, sometimes you wonder if an editor was involved or not?

So the question to writers is: Should you listen to your editor?

This video is a general, broadbrush statement on best practice when it comes to this question. Obviously, not all scenarios and specifics could be discussed unless you wanted a twelve-season Blu-ray set. Haha.

The comments are open for discussion regarding certain scenarios or specifics.

Thanks.
