  • Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

    self-publishing the long game

    2023 has been about me making broadstroke creation moves, playing the long game the key component behind each stroke.

    There is a reason I’ve been regularly posting videos to this site despite it being about a writer/artist amlnd books and comics.

    There’s a reason behind setting myself up and creating content for various platforms.

    There is a reason behind why I constructed Patreon 2.0 as I did.

    The list goes on.

    What you’ve been seeing on this site over the past year are groundwork foundation-laying moves that will aid 2024. You can’t build a house on sand. You need concrete.

    This is PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 and it’s working.

    Every action I take, and as I’ve mention in my newsletter, are meant to help Future Me along with Future Works which, in turn, help Future You, dear reader.

    A lot of PROJECT REBUILD 1.0 was more theory-based and planning-based versus actual execution of the theory. PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 has been the execution of 1.0.

    As I state in the below video, there is method to the madness.

    vLog – Method to the Madness

    2024 is looking to be a fairly big year self-publishing-wise. Lots of titles, so at present I’m mentally mapping out the year in terms of how to release everything and when.

    But that’s 2024 and we’re not there yet.

    2023 will continue, and finish, as it has been thus far.

    A new content schedule will be created for 2024, but as of now, this schedule will remain.

    Thanks for tuning in this year.

    More to come.

    Peace.

    – APF

  • Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    canister x transmission collections

    Well, MailChimp pulled the plug on TinyLetter, the newsletter engine I’ve using to send THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION for about eight years. It was a great platform because it had a simple and direct, user-friendly interface and was perfect for a text-based newsletter like mine. But, alas, all good things must come to an end, I suppose, so thanks to fellow author Bobby Nash, he turned me on to MailerLite and from there I’ll be able to continue to send out new issues of the newsletter week after week. This change, of course, will involve some link adjusting and some web design stuff since all my sites have the TinyLetter subscribe box.

    Either way, we now have a new provider and there should be no interupption in service.

    You’ll also receive a free thriller novelette upon subscribing. Goes out Saturdays.

    Goodbye, Tinyletter. Thank you for your service.

    If you’d like to be a part of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION while I finish getting things all set up, please email me and I’ll add you to the subscriber list. You can also use the form above. The email-me option is there in case of glitches.

    Thanks.

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters YouTube Playlist Curation

    YouTube logo

    As my YouTube channel begins to grow, at this present stage I’ve come to a point where I had to adjust my playlists to keep things more ogranized for those who view and/or follow playlists.

    There are the news ones I created and organized. I have plans to tweak and adjust some more, but this is my start:

    Hot Wheels Batman Batmobile Playlist

    Funko Pop! Collection

    Hot Wheels Shorts and Reels

    Patron-exclusive Videos

    Promotional Videos

    Superman Collectible Shorts and Reels

    My Top Videos!

    So as you can see, 5 lists were created to better sort the channel which makes for easier navigation.

    Feel free to explore the above and don’t forget to subscribe to the Realm of Heroes and Monsters on YouTube. Helps keep the book and comic machine going.

    Peace.

  • Blood of the Dead Book Spotlight

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Blood of the Dead Book Spotlight

    Blood of the Dead title card thumbnail

    One year ago, the world came to an end.

    First came the rain.

    Then came the screams.

    Then came the undead.

    The Haven became the only place in the city free of the walking dead. A place of community. A place to be safe.

    Now, things have changed.

    The zombies are coming to the Haven, seeking out the remaining survivors of the human race.

    Joe Bailey prowls the Haven’s streets, taking them back from the undead, each kill one step closer to reclaiming a life once stolen from him. Billie Friday and Des Nottingham soon have Joe to thank for their lives.

    As the dead push into the Haven, the trio is forced into the one place where folks fear to tread: the heart of the city, a place overrun with flesh-eating zombies.

    They soon discover they are not the only humans there. After meeting an old man with a peculiar past, Joe and the others must make one last stand against the undead or unwillingly meet the same fate.

    A desperate escape leads them to a place thought impossible to exist and to a discovery that will shake the future.

    Welcome to the end of all things.

    It is true.

    It is time.

    Patreon 2.0 launches this November 13. I’m aiming to premiere the trailer Sunday evening then do a full-blast posting Monday to launch the page and invite one and all into the PATREON REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS.

    There are two tiers and they’ll be displayed in full on launch day, but to sum them up, they are:

    Tip Jar: $1. Just a general tip to help me along in the art world with my deepest thanks.

    All-Access: $5. For just five bucks a month you get everything content that I put on the Web plus the following just for you:

    Patreon artwork collection

    Artwork only revealed here. Nowhere else. Public art is here.

    Patreon serial novels

    It began with GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE and continues with TWO other running serials.

    Patreon photos collection

    Photos taken EXCLUSIVELY for this page. Sometimes I add my own sparkle, other times not, but they’re always interesting.

    Patreon quick notes collection

    Quick little notes or did-you-knows just for you.

    Usually bits of info that are hopefully insightful or useful.

    Patreon essays collection

    For those interested in the craft of storytelling through various mediums, both the creative side and the business side.

    Like the Quick Notes, these are intended to be helpful.

    And there you have it. If you were a previous patron, you know I always deliver content on time without excuse. As well, if you were a part of Patreon 1.0, please get in touch.

  • Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

    Caught in Black Headlights Notebook

    ZOMTROPOLIS is gonna be out soon and then I’ll be neck-deep in THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA writing three books for that before releasing them so my readers know for certain the story arc I’ll be doing will done and complete in 2024.

    I’ve been picking away at CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS for years. It’s a poetry book, my fourth thus far. Poems about life, observation, some feelings. Trying something new with my poetry style. I think what’s going to end up happening is I’ll be airing CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS at Patreon 2.0 as in-between book, a pre-online publication alongside ZOMTROPOLIS, which is being serialized there.

    All really depends how much I have to say because poetry is about saying something, hopefully something with meaning and some sort of impact.

    We’ll see.

    In the interim, STILL ABOUT A GIRL is coming back out so you can get your poetry fix through that in the meantime.
