Hello Books – My Undead Mother-in-law

My Undead Mother-in-law (Life After Life Chronicles, #2)
by Andy Zach (Goodreads Author)
Rebecca McNutt‘s review Aug 27, 2020
really liked it

bookshelves: fiction, zombie, comedy, humor, united-states, science-fiction, horror

My Undead Mother-in-law is my second experience reading a book in the “Life After Life Chronicles” (although I’d say it could also hold up as a standalone book for newcoming readers), and it doesn’t disappoint. Here we get a witty, clever dip into modern Americana as the zombies from Book 1 are no longer contained to just one species. As it turns out, the human zombies in this one aren’t your typical bumbling, easily-destroyed zombies akin to something of George Romero’s, paving the way for plenty of unexpected, and often hilarious surprises.

The book mainly follows the increasingly unpredictable life of the Newby Family; mother-in-law Diane Newby has become a zombie purely by mistake, but she hasn’t let it stand in the way of living a full, productive life, even using this newfound malady to her advantage. After all, it comes with many perks that can’t be denied. Diane uses her zombification to try and make a difference in the world around her, while also fighting the discrimination and fear generated by those who are anti-zombie in society. With little to stand in her way but an ever-changing world always making situations beyond crazy, there’s a lot of room for fun and family in My Undead Mother-in-law. (more at site)

This blog tour covers all four books in my Life After Life Chronicles.

Your first jolt comes with Zombie Turkeys. Here’ part of the review for Dab of Darkness blog:

What a deliciously silly book! If you love zombies and comedy, this zombiedy story is for you. The whole premise of zombie turkeys is just so ludicrous it makes the whole tale funny, no matter how seriously the characters take their roles. Story is suitable for the whole family. Very little blood & guts, no swearing, sweet, innocent romance.

I really enjoyed the main characters, Sam and Lisa, who work for a small newspaper in Illinois. Sam is out for the real story, thoroughly enjoying his investigative reporting. Lisa runs the little newspaper with efficiency and soon she has the entire nation demanding their news reports. Zombie turkeys are a bad problem, for sure, but they have launched this small newspaper right into the big leagues.

Review of My Undead Mother-in-law

Once again we get to visit the lives of the fantastically droll Sam and Lisa as they adjust to the life after the zombie apocalypse starts settling down. Things aren’t going so well for them as there is only so much you can report on zombie turkeys, cows, squirrels and chickens. But never fear – something interesting is just around the corner for you. At the end of the first book (SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN’T LISTENED TO IT) 

Why I Can’t Stop Reading blog for the rest of the review

Your third audiobook in the Life After Life Chronicles comes up next.

This is a great book to start with if you haven’t tried any Andy Zach book before. It contains stories from both his Life After Life zombie comedy series and his superhero story Super Secrets. It also shows you Zach’s sense of humor (plus there’s one little horror story that isn’t overly gruesome). This book is great for both kids and adults and works just fine on it’s own.

Your 10 Best Science Updates of June

Your 10 Best Science Updates of June as curated by me, Andy Zach. I’ve always loved science; that led to me becoming a science fiction writer. Now I’m seeing science overtaking the science fiction of my youth, in the distant 60s.

Let’s start, shall we?

Your 10 Best Science Updates – Begin Here

I love watching old videos of our astronauts on the moon. Here we have the Apollo 15 crew dropping a hammer and a falcon feather (the space ship was named ‘Falcon’) in the moon’s vacuum. Galileo said four hundred years ago they should hit at the same time. Do they? Reply to this post or email me the answer and I’ll send you a free Zombie Turkeys ebook.

Here’s Your Next Science Update

What will you find in this science article? Oh, growing new organs from scratch. Also, you’ll find an inhalable drug to fight COVID-19. And then you’ll learn about AI used to manage vaccines. No science update would be complete without a supermaterial. It’s in here. Finally, you get a molecular breakdown of virii. Just what you wanted.

Number Three: Your Quadrennial Flying Car Report

“Quadrennial? Why would you use that weird word, Andy?”

Thanks for asking! I’ve kept at this blog for four years and this is my first flying car report. So enjoy!

FYI, I have a flying skateboard in my novel, Paranormal Privateers.

Your Best 10 Science Updates

Your Next Foray Into Science Starts Here

For those who don’t click on any articles, let me summarize: neutron stars may be up to 2.3 solar masses. The lightest black hole so far is about 3 solar masses. The astronomers have discovered an object of 2.6 solar masses.

So what is it, blog readers? A black hole or a neutron star? The first one to contact me with the correct answer can get any book of mine for free.

Your Fifth Science Article Coming Up

I love outer space video, especially beautiful ones like this. How about you?

Your Sixth Step of Science

This story isn’t a video, but instead a gorgeous photo of Juiter from its south pole. Free free to use it as computer or phone background.

Seven Come Eleven–er Your 10 Best Science Updates

Here’s a science story about SpaceX commercially launching over 100 spacecrafts into orbit. Any of you read Robert Heinlein’s novella, The Mon Who Sold the Moon? It’s all about commercialization of spaceflight. If you read it, tell me what you think of it and I’ll send you a free book.

You’ll Feel Great with Number Eight

Step into our showroom and purchase an all new, 2020 NASA Mars rover! It’ll have 100% of the Martian market sown up.

Your Penultimate Science Update

Do you know what a directed graph is? Peruse the one above, of the lyrics of “99 Bottles of Beer”.

Finally, The End

Would you take a balloon into space?

Your final question, should you choose to answer it: would you take a balloon into space? Let me know, and get a free copy of my short story collection, Oops! Tales of the Zombie Turkey Apocalypse.
