‘This’ is the Andy Zach at Barnes and Noble author appearance. How will you get free books? Read and find out!

First, I, Andy Zach signed books and chatted with fans from 1 to 3 PM at Barnes and Noble in Peoria.

Here was the setting before the press of excited Zombie Turkeys fans closed in around the table:

People came by and I signed volume 1 of my Life After Life Chronicles Zombie Turkeys.

Some fans asked me about volume 2, My Undead Mother-in-law, which is also available at Amazon.

Several people asked me what inspired me to write these books. For Zombie Turkeys I said simply, “We fried a turkey and ate it. Around the dinner table someone said, ‘What if the turkey came back to life?’  ‘A zombie turkey!'”

“That thought thrilled me. What if turkeys came back to life as zombies? What a perfect way to satirize the whole zombie genre! So I wrote Zombie Turkeys in November 2015 for NaNoMo, national novel in November month. Click to find out more.”

What about My Undead Mother-in-law? And how do we get free books?

Wouldn’t you like to know! Where Zombie Turkeys focuses on zombie turkeys, in My Undead Mother-in-law I ask and answer the eternal question, “What should I do if my in-laws are zombies?”

Let’s start with the famous undead mother-in-law herself, Diane Newby.

Here’s Diane’s description from My Undead Mother-in-law:

“You know I love your mother. But your mother’s a zombie. Who wants to see one zombie, let alone four of them?”
“Now that’s not fair. Mom and Dad have adjusted to their zombiism very well. Mom still volunteers at church and bakes cookies and pies for the bake sales.”

Diane greeted us at the door. “Hello, my love!” She hugged Karen.

Karen barely flinched as she looked into her mother’s bright-red eyes. But she grunted “Ugh!” at the force of her embrace.

“Ease up, Mom.”

“Oh, sorry.”

“Hello, Mom,” I said as I hugged her as hard I as could.

She hugged me back twice as hard.

“Ugh,” I grunted too.

Diane still had blond-highlighted brown hair, as she did when I first met her. She’d gained a pound or two though. She smelled of the body talc White Linen. I recognized it because Karen and I bought it for her birthday last year, pre-zombie. And she still wore her cat-eye reading glasses on a chain around her neck.”

No doubt you want to know more about Diane and her offspring. Next, I’ll tell you how to get my books for free.

What do you think? Sacrifice your first born child? No. A chicken? No. A turkey? A good guess, but no.

You just have to write to me and promise to review my book, either Zombie Turkeys or My Undead Mother-in-law. Heck, you can cut and paste someone else’s review! Here they are, click here.

You can contact me here (click) and make your review promise. Or you can follow the next instructions.

But Andy, I don’t like to write! How can I get free books?

Glad you asked! Here is the final way you can get free books. Sign up for my newsletter. Each month I give away a free book to one of my subscribers. Just click here and enter your email.

That’s all for now!

What’s Next for Two Weekend Book Events?

This is the Big One: an actual, in-the-flesh appearance by the man himself, Andy Zach.

You read that right: Andy will sign both Zombie Turkeys and My Undead Mother-in-law at Barnes and Noble in Peoria.

What Are Zombie Turkeys Doing?

You don’t know if Andy is someone you ought to see? Check out this video of him from WMBD Channel 31.

Or, you can run his official interview with the paper made famous in Zombie Turkeys, The Midley Beacon:

Is That All There Is? Two Weekend Book Events?

That would be no! We have another book event and author appearance coming up in the metropolis of Chillicothe, Illinois.

If Peoria is too big and bustling for you to go there, go to the quiet town of Chillicothe the following week. It was the site of a bloody scene in Zombie Turkeys, but don’t worry–no zombie turkeys are there now.

Zombie Turkey, “I’m not in Chillicothe! Really!”

Chillicothe straddles Rt 29 and nestles next to the Illinois river. It’s next to the burgs of Lacon and Sparland, and about ten miles north of Peoria. At 2,000 people, Chilli is bigger than Midley, Illinois (population 512), but smaller than Peoria (110,000).

Andy will be just as alive there as he is in Peoria. And he will sign your books and answer your questions about his books, writing, and self publishing.

I look forward to seeing you!
