Here’s the most recent review of the book:


Lizard

5.0 out of 5 stars 

What do zuccini, phoenix genetics, and superpowered kids have in commom?

As I expected, story time at Andy’s house must include a recorder to grasp the many directions and characters he develops in each book. This set of several stories are exciting in a novel manner of disbelief overlaid with a tinge of possibility. How many people have tasted a hummingbird zombie zuccini, a superpowered set of disabled kids with a intelligent hamster as co-partner, a phoenix genetic research specialist, all these under one cover? Well, step right up and open page one! Each story includes an ideas from his zombie turkey series and as always a hint of something new to come!This was a free book and I am not connected to anyone involved. I laughed and soaked up the words wanting more.One person found this helpful

What’s Best on the Internet This Week? Andy Tells All

What's Best

What’s Best on the Internet This Week? I have scoured it from stem to stem and boiled down billions of articles and videos to these. This includes free books and offers for you.

Let’s start with this doozy:

So if one robot kills another, is a crime committed? What is the crime? Who is liable? If you answer these three questions, I’ll give you an audiobook of your choice.

What's Best on the Internet - If you write books What's Best
Andy Zach’s four audiobooks. More to come!

What’s Best on the Internet – If You Write Books

Dig this pithy process chart for book publishing from fellow author Mike Van Horn.

This process excludes audible books, which I produce through Audible.com. But it includes Ingram Spark, which I do not presently use nor Kobe-Nook and Apple Books. Tell me, for a free book, where you get your books?

Next, The Best Review This Week

You can follow the links to the source on Goodreads, or you can read it below:

What's Best
Andy Zach’s first novel. Get a signed copy from Andy here.

Zombie Turkeys (The Life After Life Chronicles, #1)

I met Andy at PeoriaCon last spring at Expo Gardens. He was very animated and reading an excerpt from this book, so I couldn’t help but to purchase it. The book was great. I really enjoyed the humor and detail, but also the fact that the midwest where I from was the backdrop for the storyline. I was very excited to get my hands on the next book.

From Goodreads.com

If you write a review of my books, I’ll give you one in appreciation. Or, you can ask for an ebook or audiobook and I’ll give you one in exchange for a review. It doesn’t have to be positive. Every review helps me gain visibility through the Amazon algorithm.

What’s Best – Here’s a Jaw-Dropper Coming Up

Now maybe you’re creeped out by the size of asteroids, especially the thought of one hitting the Earth. (Although that’s a good premise for a story.)

Your trivia of the day: a meteor 23 miles across killed the dinosaurs. That’s 37 kilometers. Which of the asteroids listed comes closest to that? Tell me and I’ll send you a free audiobook.

Your Last Best Internet Item

People traveling to space as tourists. Would you do that? Let me know, yes or no, and I’ll send you an audiobook.

Regardless, I would go to space if I could. This is a realization of years of science fiction imagination.
