The Best August Videos, Pictures, and News, personally curated by me Andy Zach. Be warned: these may not be what you expect.
The first video might be the weirdest prank I’ve ever heard about. And it’s part of English history too. Who’d ever believe this in fiction?
But hold onto your galoshes: there’s a lot more.
How about a late-breaking science video of new advances in rocketry?
Now let me try to be more relateable by posting a cute dog video for your viewing pleasure.
Speaking of relatable, I have a dog I walk every day over the hills and valleys in the park around my house. A105 pound black lab named ‘Trip’, so-called because he likes to rub against you and trip you.
Which picture do you like the best? Let me know and I’ll send you a free short story from my next book Oops Tales from the Turkey Apocalypse
What else do I have for you? How about this article about an exoskeleton?

This is a good one. If you’ve seen it before, contact me and I’ll give you a book of your choice.

Or maybe this picture will tickle you. Everyone loves puppies!
Even three-headed puppies!
Then you’ve got this bon mot.
Okay, I have one last video for you. But before you see it, let me offer you a chance to win one of my books. I have two drawings coming up this month, one for a free book and one for a free audiobook.

Finally, A Secret Supers Review
Title: Secret Supers: What happens when ‘differently-abled’ people become ‘super-abled’?
Author: Andy Zach
Genre: Fiction/Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror
Audience: Middle-Grade
Word Count: 31000
Assessment:
Plot: Four differently-abled middle school kids use science to give themselves super powers and solve crimes while in disguise. This is a sweet YA read with a surprise ending that will delight readers.
Prose/Style: There is some clever imagery here, with steady and clear dialogue. Descriptions of the super powers and how the children react to them are authentic, touching, and sometimes funny.
Originality: Disabled kids who are not just the heroes but superheroes of the story is a fresh and clever premise. Even without revealing their secret identities, the kids are accepted by their peers after saving the school budget.
Character Development: All of the young and vibrant characters are wonderfully drawn, especially Dan, the blind boy who gains the ability to read minds. Even the pet hamster, Dancer, plays an important role in the plot twist.
From my Book Life Prize entry. I entered Secret Supers and will find out if I progress to the next round.
