This blog tour covers all four books in my Life After Life Chronicles.

Your first jolt comes with Zombie Turkeys. Here’ part of the review for Dab of Darkness blog:

What a deliciously silly book! If you love zombies and comedy, this zombiedy story is for you. The whole premise of zombie turkeys is just so ludicrous it makes the whole tale funny, no matter how seriously the characters take their roles. Story is suitable for the whole family. Very little blood & guts, no swearing, sweet, innocent romance.

I really enjoyed the main characters, Sam and Lisa, who work for a small newspaper in Illinois. Sam is out for the real story, thoroughly enjoying his investigative reporting. Lisa runs the little newspaper with efficiency and soon she has the entire nation demanding their news reports. Zombie turkeys are a bad problem, for sure, but they have launched this small newspaper right into the big leagues.

Review of My Undead Mother-in-law

Once again we get to visit the lives of the fantastically droll Sam and Lisa as they adjust to the life after the zombie apocalypse starts settling down. Things aren’t going so well for them as there is only so much you can report on zombie turkeys, cows, squirrels and chickens. But never fear – something interesting is just around the corner for you. At the end of the first book (SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN’T LISTENED TO IT)

This is a great book to start with if you haven’t tried any Andy Zach book before. It contains stories from both his Life After Life zombie comedy series and his superhero story Super Secrets. It also shows you Zach’s sense of humor (plus there’s one little horror story that isn’t overly gruesome). This book is great for both kids and adults and works just fine on it’s own.

Summertime Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fact

Andy Zach's Life After Life Chronices

Summertime Science Fiction and Fact is the title that popped into my head as I thought about what I wanted to write this week. I’ve found a lot of science fiction books and science articles I want to share. Will I get ten in? Read and find out!

Begin with Summertime Science Fiction and Fantasy

Your first book is fantasy, by my fellow author Angelique Anderson.

Your next great book is hard science fiction by author, Eric Michael Craig.

Proceed to Science News, Found For You

This story sounds like science fiction, but it is science fact. Is it any wonder I picked it for you to enjoy?

Now, cast your eyes about this video from 45 years ago:

Back to the Future, With Summer Science News

This is some raw science for you, here and now, discovering the quantum behavior of heat transfer.

Just as science pushes into the future, it also explores the past.

This too, could be a science fiction story, just as believable as:

Attack of the Killer Zombie Turkeys

I reviewed a copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for my honest review, and here it is. The first book read/ listen from Andy Zach, and I’m totally hooked. can’t wait to hear/ RAF the remaining series. the storyline is very entertaining, and the way they perform (yes perform not read) the book was perfect. Love the sound effects, they just made the story come to life. This story had it all, from killer zombies, love, mystery, and action. it’s a must-read/ hear. I totally recommended it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Chapter Book
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020
A story about special needs kids becoming superpowered while still having their special needs. Unique and fast-paced. I love how this is written so children can read and understand it, without complicated themes, yet still placing social prejudices and situations within the storyline. I enjoyed the story very much. Still, I felt that some of the surprises could have used a little more introduction or at least hints beforehand, but it does not take away from the story of friendship and the strong message that everyone is gifted differently. Recommended.
