Get Books Signed By Andy Zach Online – Here’s How

Get Books Signed

Get Books Signed by Andy Zach online – In this blog post, I’ll tell you how to get autographed copies of my books online, just like in person at a book convention.

Why am I doing this? I feel sorry for the thousands of fans I have who never get to go to a book convention. I’d love to meet you all. Here’s my next convention, tomorrow:

Get Books Signed

But let’s say you can’t go? What can you do? Go here.

Get Books Signed – What Do I Mean?

What is this site? It’s my Square site. What’s that? It’s my OFFICIAL SALES website. I sell you my autographed books at LESS than Amazon AND include free shipping.

How can I do that? I cut out Amazon.

Amazon takes a 30% commission on each sale. It then deducts the printing cost of each book. That leaves me with 30% of your money.

But Square takes a 1% commission. I get most of your money even though you are paying less. That lets me

  1. Pay for shipping for you
  2. And then pay for taxes for you
  3. Finally I pay for printing the book for you

And I still make more money than on Amazon! Try my first book, below.

The second book in time sequence, but the most recent I wrote is the following:

But Wait! There’s More!

The four gospels in chronological order, word by word

Here is what this book is all about:

Are you curious about Jesus Christ? Do you struggle to understand the Bible? The Gospel Medley includes the four Gospels in a single narrative, faithfully pulling the text from the World English Bible. You are now able to read all the gospel as a single, easy-to-read story.

Each Gospel describes Jesus’s life from a different point of view with different details and insights. The Gospel Medley combines every word into a single perspective with all details and events arranged chronologically.

Unlike other harmonies, The Gospel Medley doesn’t put the four gospels in columns or rows. Instead, the text is integrated word by word into a smoothly flowing narrative. Further, each paragraph references the four gospels so you can read the original citations. You also get footnotes of all the quotes from the Old Testament, giving you the context of Jesus’s words.

For a unique perspective of the four gospels, read ‘The Gospel Medley’ today.

Book Conventions – as an author

Book Conventions – as an author. I’ve been to two conventions in two weeks and I’m going to another one this week. What’s it like as an author? I’ll let you know below.

Plus, I’ve got a new review of a fantasy book for you. Then I have my usual free book offers. And I’ll let you know about a sale, coming up this Sunday, March 20, first day of spring.

Begin With the Future – What Conventions Are Approaching?

A simple search for book conventions brings up hundreds. My first filter was, “What’s in Peoria?”

In 2016, when I published my first book, nothing.

This one is definitely NOT a turkey!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017

‘He felt great. He was full of energy, he had many hens to breed with, and he was the leader of a great flock.’

Sam Melvin is a reporter with the Midley Beacon, it’s a tiny local paper – with an online presence – run by its penny-pinching editor Lisa Kambacher. When Sam sees the two turkey hunters on the slab in the local mortuary, he knows he has a story to cover and he sets out to do so with great gusto. As the zombie turkeys multiply, Sam and Lisa are the leading media team on the ground and the Midley Beacon goes international, solving their financial woes and syndicating their work across the globe. But it’s not all good news. After all, there are those people-killing zombie turkeys heading into town…

Book Conventions
Andy Zach at Chambanacon

So, I went to Chambanacon, in Bloomington. It was one hour drive from Peoria. It cost some money, but I was willing to risk it. I had fun and sold some copies of my first book.

That’s pretty much how I pick my conventions.

Book Conventions -The Next Step is Packing

What to pack? How about books?

I have seven different books (soon to be eight!) and almost two hundred copies. What to take?

Life After Life Chronicles March Fourth
Book Conventions
Enjoy all four novels in audiobook, paperback, or Kindle format!

All of them.

What else should I take?

From the very beginning, I’ve always had a signup list for my newsletter. People who buy my books are my favorite people. What if they want more? You can sign up here and get free books.

I pile about a hundred books into my rolling suitcase and another hundred in cardboard boxes ‘just in case I need them.’

Should I take anything else? How about posters, table swag (candy, business cards, bookmarks), and decorations.

Here’s my most recent convention, showing everything I’ve mentioned so far:

Book Conventions

Surely that’s everything, right? Surely not!

Surely you can’t be serious!

Looking through my most recent packing list, other things are:

  • tablecloth
  • duck tape
  • extension cord
  • computer and cord and case
  • two cell phones with chargers
  • credit card reader
  • book stickers
  • cash box
  • receipt book
  • vaccination card
  • mask
  • tea thermos
  • lunch box
  • moving dolly

Book Conventions – Being There

I get totally hyped at book conventions. I love meeting my customers and future customers. Then I get to read from my books for them. Perhaps the best of all is meeting newsletter subscribers who love my newsletter and my books. No, I think the best is when a person buys my next book after enjoying one.

But wait, there’s more!

from ‘Scary Movie’

I also get to meet and talk with other authors–and–wait for it–learn from them!

Yes, I don’t know everything. I’m always picking up new ideas and approaches to writing and promoting my books.

What’s the Down Side?

There are negatives. First, you’ve got to schlep hundreds of pounds of stuff to your booth location and set everything up.

Next, you’ll get tired. Sit down, then stand and talk. Repeat for eight hours. Before, during, and afterward, be positive. Don’t let them see you cry, moan, or complain.

Finally, you’ll lug your luggage back to your car and drive home.

Do you have any questions for me? Just ask me by clicking here.

What About My Books on Sale?

Oh, right. I’ll have two books on sale from March 20 to 27, 2022. Here they are:

Everyone can be brave and heroic

I love that someone is writing fun superstories in which disabled and differently abled kids can see themselves as potentially brave and heroic. The story doesn’t just show them doing impossible things that fully abled people can’t even do; it shows them using their heads to solve problems and cooperating together to use their different gifts to change the world for the better. And it’s well told, with a youthful sounding narrator that highlights the 12-13 years of the characters.

I received this free audiobook and voluntarily left this honest review.

Kids with Disabilities Saving the World + a hamster

Note: While this is Book 2 in the series, it works pretty well as a stand alone story (tho book 1 is a lot of fun).

Once again the Secret Supers (Jeremy, Dan, Kayla, and Aubrey) combine their skills to fight evil! Well, actually, they were having a bit of a vacation and evil found them. But evil will certainly be sorry! Once again, Andy Zach gives us another delightful kids’ book. I’ve listened to his other audiobooks, including the Zombie Turkeys books, and this is a great addition to that collection.

Super Science Stories from September for You

New Science Books

Super Science Stories for you, selected by sensei Andy Zach from September’s internet. Let’s start with this super story.

How do you feel about bringing the wooly mammoth back to life? Some think we should work at saving our current elephant species around the world. Others think mammoths may upset the current ecosystem in the arctic.

As a long-time dinosaur and paleontological fan, I’d love it. But let me know what you think in a comment or by contacting me here. I’ll give an ebook to each response

Super Science Stories Continued

This is a valid question. The US military has explored airship designs for sixty years. They can go to the stratosphere, above all weather and be supplied by airplanes indefinitely.

Is this science, or science fiction, or throwback science to steampunk fiction? Let me know by a comment or replying to me here. Contact us by clicking here.

Breaking News from Peoria on September 30, 2021!

Yup, you’ve got it right: my latest novel is fully released as paperback and Kindle on Amazon. Of course, you can always get it at a discount, autographed, with free shipping from me by clicking right here.

If you can travel to Peoria tomorrow, you can see me at PeoriaCon at the Expo-Gardens. That’s only a mile from my house in northern Peoria! Please tell me you’ll be there and I’ll give you a free book. Click here or on the above post to let me know. Or just tell me on Saturday.

What is science fiction? I agree with Robert Heinlein’s definition below.

Look Out Below for More Science Stories

Is feasible fusion finally here?

Excuse my cynicism, but I’ve heard that fusion was right around the corner for at least fifty of my sixty-five years. When do you think it’ll be here?

Next, you’ve got some October humor, timely and topical.

I’ve got one last military scifi story for you. Or would you say this story is more science-based? The story does have biology and robotics inside of it.

Now for the real last meme of this post. Here you go, my friends. Get ready for some football! With eggs.
