Your latest laughs from around the world. But you ask, “What do you have for me this week, Andy?”
Lots! First of all, you’ve got this:
This is from TwosetViolin, one of my favorite Youtube channels. I also have an Andy Zach channel, for your viewing pleasure.
But that’s not all! I finished another short story, Her Majesty’s Corgi’s. It’s based on a little incident inMy Undead Mother-in-law. You can read it for free on Kindle Unlimited. The short story will appear in my next book, Oops! Tales from the Turkey Apocalypse.
Then there’s this bitter argument between two lynxes.
But perhaps you prefer more chicken music?
I don’t comment on politics, but I found this next video commenting on the United Kingdom and the European Union hilarious in light of the Brexit controversy.
US citizens who don’t know about or care about Brexit can just skip this one.
No Laughter Break for News
I found this video of a car-sized meteor hitting near Adelaide Australia. If you’ve never seen a large meteor before, check out the video.
Here is a science fact you may not know about human language.
The Bermudas and the US suffered from Hurricane Dorian this week. For a science fiction author like myself, I love the view of this terrible storm from space.
Your latest laughs – part 3
In addition to my Andy Zach Facebook page, I have a Zombie Turkey page where I post turkey related items, like this next one.
“What’s ‘Happy Undead Mother-in-law Day? I know all about Valentine’s Day. That’s today. What’s up with Happy Undead Mother-in-law?”
I’m glad you asked! It so happens My Undead Mother-in-law begins on Valentine’s Day. As the book opens, the family has dinner together, the undead zombies and the normal family members. Naturally, we celebrate it every year.
You can also read the book for free on Kindle or Audible.
Finally, if you’re desperate, you can always do what I do when I want to read a book and not pay for it. Go to Amazon and click on the ‘Look Inside’ button and read random sections until you’ve read it all.
One more thing: here’s a Happy Undead Mother-in-law Review
Why is this my favorite review? It’s from a professional author who doesn’t like zombie books, yet loved My Undead Mother-in-law..
When I started to read this book, I was leery. As far as I know, I’m less interested in zombies than anyone on the planet. How could I give a reasonable review? Turns out, it wasn’t hard at all. I’ve said before and it turned out to be true here that, if you have a ridiculous premise that’s hard to swallow, run with it, normalize it, and readers /viewers will eventually accept. And it worked. The original premise of cognizant, virtually indestructible zombies was lobbed and backed until I was a believer, actively rooting for zombies. Plenty of (bloodier than average) action, some smiling, if not guffaw humor, a nice fulfilling story arc in an easy readable length made for a fun book (if bloody action doesn’t bother you) with charm that didn’t take itself to seriously but still capable of many a tender and touching moments.
I’m glad my prejudice didn’t keep me from enjoying this out-of-the-common-way story.
Happy Undead Mother-in-law’s Day – Now What’s Next?
Later this month I’ll have my cover reveal for my next novel, Secret Supers. Watch this blog or my Facebook page for the exact date. I’m waiting to get all the pieces of the book together: interior text (being edited), chapter titles, and back copy blurb.
Once it’s all together, I assemble it and schedule my publication and launch dates.
Here’s a cover tease:
But that’s not all! I’ve scheduled my first author appearance this year. See this next Facebook post from my page.
My goal is at least twelve author appearances this year. I’ll let you know as I schedule them.
New Year New Book–“Wait!” you say. “What book is this?”
My next book is Secret Supers. It’s about four seventh graders with disabilities who acquire superpowers. They use their disabilities to hide their super identities and to fight crime. But it’s not easy, either being disabled or superpowered.
But that’s not all. I’m giving a free excerpt to my newsletter readers as of my next newsletter. Join here.
Newsletters subscribers also are automatically entered in my monthly drawing for a free book and a free audiobook.
I have read the whole series and enjoyed it. I did not find myself staying g up all night to finish or rushing home to read. That was probably a good thing as then If I had I’d of been cranky and over sleep for work. Never a pretty sight as I am not a morning person anyway. I liked the book for the unusual perspectives and storyline. If I spot about her book from this author O would definitely give it a try.
Super fun saga following the antics of the Paranormal Privateers. Laugh as they save the world. Who would have thought that the undead would be the saviors of the world? A not-so realistic view of the future of the world. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. If you like comedy, the paranormal or books about pirates, you will absolutely love Paranormal Privateers.
