7 Science Stories – Which Are True? Can you tell? If you can, you can get a free copy of my funny zombie book, Zombie Turkeys.
Let’s start with the first story!
Spooky? Ghostly particles? Have we stumbled into paranormal science here? Decide if this is real science or not and tell me in a comment or send me an email.
Then there’s this science story
Is this for real? If you’re wondering about who Terry Pratchett is, check out this video about the movie ‘The Color of Magic’ based upon Terry’s novel of that name. It’s the first among dozens of novels set in Disk World.
7 Science Stories – The Third
Is this a science fiction book cover? Or is it real? You decide and let me know.
Is this picture real?
Moving on to the fourth science story
R2-D2? Where have I heard that before? Oh yes, Star Wars.
You might have heard of Star Wars.
That’s a science fiction movie. Is the Air Force really using R2-D2? Or is this a hoax story? I need to know. You need to get this right to get your free book.
Oh, and Zombie Turkeys is also available for free as an audiobook.
7 Science Stories – The Fifth
This story is a combination of science and history. Or steampunk fiction? Did they really have AI in the 17th and 18th centuries. Reply to this post or to me
Story Number 6 – Is This Real?
Are these science fiction ideas, or real science? Or are they exaggerated? Our news media would never exaggerate science, would they? You tell me.
Now, the Last story
Can you really pop balloons with a laser? It’s on the internet, so it must be true! Just like the next video.

9 Great Links For You – The First
Here you go, the very first link. I laughed and laughed as I watched this. I remembered some scenes from my childhood, fifty years ago. Others I’ve never seen. Have you seen these scenes before? Let me know what you think in the comments or contact me. I’ve got a free ebook for the best comment.
My dad had subscriptions to Popular Science and Popular Mechanics and I always read those magazines through the 60s and 70s. I was tickled to find this article in PM. It was so interesting! Do you think so?

Did you know I like tea, as well as funny zombies? Check out my new video next, where I talk about both.
9 Great Links For You – The Fourth
I’ve played basketball since I was 18 and I’ve followed basketball since I was 13. Now I’m following a great college talent, Zion Williamson. Here’s the best video of him so far.

9 Great Links For You – The Fifth
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.
What were the inspirations for your stories?
Zombie Turkeys – frying a turkey and imagining it coming back to life.
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.
How slow light moves between the Earth and Mars

That’s a high standard for a blog! If I fall short, you can always make fun of me! Comment here if you like or dislike this post, or in the comment section below.
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.

What can be funnier than your own tombstone? The epitaph on it! It’s all in this blog post, Andy Zach’s Tombstone.But don’t worry–there’s still more to come!
Next, from Fan Comments and Free Books–Get Yours Now we have another photo that looks doctored, but it’s not. How would you like to be on this ship? Or on the B-52?

I must close with another Weird Al video. Enjoy!
Have you seen a conductor like this before?
Sequeing to September . . .
Twelve Laughing Months: September Twelve Laughing Months: September
September was my big convention month at PennedCon. I have a lot of pictures here. The theme was a 20s speakeasy.
After Thanksgiving I went to Chambanacon, a relaxacon, a relaxed SciFi/Fantasy convention. Here’s a picture of me and Brenda Sutton, to give you the vibe there.
