Andy Zach’s Birthday – The Third Book Paranormal Privateers
“We’ve got zombie turkeys, zombie humans, what else do you have for us, Andy?”
How about zombies working on a luxury yacht as privateers under a letter of marque from President Trump? They’re sent to areas too sensitive for the US to meddle directly. Here’s the ship, the Resolute Too. That’s the undead mother-in-law on the prow.

I meet a lot of great authors. One of them, Zachry Wheeler interviewed me. If you’ve followed this blog long or not, check it out and see if you learn something new.
Zeedub Bezzies is an ongoing series where I showcase talented authors by goading them into random questioning. It’s good fun, a little weird, sometimes awkward, but always entertaining.
My my my, how to describe Andy Zach in simple and conventional terms. A nigh impossible task, but let’s try anyway for our own amusement. Peculiar? Yeah, but that’s par for the author course. Quirky? Most definitely, but that doesn’t paint the fullest of portraits. Delightfully bizarre in a preternatural Lemony Snicket kind of way? Mhmm, that’s about as close as we’re going to get. Andy found it most agreeable to participate in Zeedub Bezzies, so let’s find out more about him.

The next video is six minutes long and boring. It just shows a light pulse moving from the Earth to Mars and back. The awesome thing is, since it’s moving at the speed of light, it gives you a feel for the vast distance between Mars and the Earth, even at our closest approach.

So what funny thing happened in January? I finished writing my first draft of Paranormal Privateers,my Novel for November by NaNoWriMo. It’s funny, because you’re supposed to finish in November. It’s funny because I actually wrote the required 50,000 words in November–and was less than half done. I misplanned–badly.

Twelve Laughing Months: February
February was worse for me as a writer–I had to edit my first draft. And I was under a time crunch. And my illustrator was behind. And my editor needed time. And I’d already committed to a launch date in May.
