Adventure Factory Publishing,
and released his first novel.
The Bartender: Darkness on the Edge of Town.
Adventure Factory Publishing is intended to be a publishing house that specializes in Action and Adventure stories of the Pulp, Comic Book, Tough Guy, Cowboy, Super Spy, Sci-Fi, and Samurai traditions.
The Bartender is the flagpole series that Axel hopes will establish Adventure Factory as a publisher providing intelligent entertainment.
With his first book:
The Bartender: Darkness on the Edge of Town, receiving modest sales at The People’s Co-Op Bookstore and Pulp Fiction Books in Vancouver, as well as Amazon.com, Axel now plans to move forward as an author and publisher with the release of his second novel:
The Bartender: Appetite for Destruction.
The Series stars mercenary Bartender, and underworld problem solver, Tom Wolfe as he navigates his way through the dark and stormy night. Tom investigates shady locales, digs in for hard knuckle action and has a drink or two while he attempts to discover who has sent him a loaded handgun and why.
Axel Matfin moved to Vancouver in 2006 and, and is twenty five years old. He has been seriously writing since he was fifteen. He has written two novels previous to The Bartender’s debut, they are and will remain un-published. After years of maintaining a personal blog and a short story blog, Axel departed from the internet and created a hand made ‘zine for a year which was called Stay Positive. In that year Axel produced seven issues all of which featured a short story and an essay. Issues also featured comic strips, interpretive drawings, cut out art projects, and social commentary. The run was divided into two arcs; Stay Positive and Hollywood North. Once the last issue of the ‘zine was finished Axel started work on The Bartender and for the next year released nothing, working away at the three part story that he began presenting through Adventure Factory in November 2012.
Following this release Axel plans to finish the third book in the series, engage with other creators, volunteer at the Vancouver International Writer’s festival and and prepare for a north american tour.view less
