Life After Life Chronicles: Progress Update

Progress! “Life After Life Chronicles” Slow, but right!

I just made progress on My Undead Mother-in-law! That’s the second volume of my “Life After Life Chronicles”, my comic parody of the zombie genre. So far I’m 93% complete on the Week 4 phase. 5 Weeks remain until the deadline.

I spent 37 years as a programmer, systems analyst, and project manager, and the classic description of project management is “It takes 50% of the time to get 90% done, and then 100% of the time to get the last 10%”. Project management has such low standards that any completed project is considered a success, even if it’s late and over budget.

By these generous standards, my book “My Undead Mother-in-law” is doing great! The first draft is only five weeks late! I have real hope of getting it to my editor by May 1st. So, I’m not as big of a turkey (zombie or otherwise) as I could be!

I believe this volume 2 of the “Life After Life Chronicles”, my series of comical zombie books, is more complex and just as entertaining as “Zombie Turkeys”. (Available for purchase on Amazon: link.)

I just made progress on new comic urban fantasy novel, “My Undead Mother-in-law”! So far I’m 78% complete on the Week 4 phase. 8 Days remain until the deadline.

This is my sequel to my comic urban fantasy novel “Zombie Turkeys”, the second in my “Life After Life Chronicles”. In this novel, I portray a normal, healthy, zombie family, and the reactions of the non-zombies to them.

I started writing the fantasy novel on November 1st, for NaNoMo. You can read about it there: Andy Zach NaNoMo Page

Although I missed the goal of 50,000 words in November, I’m plugging along and should finish the first draft in December. That’s the secret of writing: keep at it!

“My Undead Mother-in-law” picks up with the aftermath of “Zombie Turkeys”. You can read an free  excerpt of my novel on this site“Zombie Turkeys” Excerpt.
