Zombies charge first, ask questions later.

Middle-aged, overweight, and undead, Diane Newby leads the paranormal privateers against criminals and corruption. Sailing to trouble spots too sensitive for the US government, with zombie strength and regeneration they beat bullies into submission. Aided by zombie turkeys, corgis, and bulls, vicious criminal geniuses fall before them. If Diane gets overwhelmed her lovely zombie bodyguards and romantic zombie husband come to the rescue.

Out of the blue, new foes appear. Or are they friends? Or both? The frenemies neutralize zombies and orchestrate world peace. They disrupt the economy and produce fabulous wealth. Even the greatest criminals and governments can’t stop them from dominating the world.

Can humanity afford the price of peace? All must surrender freedom to a not-so-benign dictatorship. Diane and the paranormal privateers must do the unthinkable to save humanity. But is it enough?

In an explosive and unconventional ending to Andy Zach’s Life After Life Chronicles, you will learn what happens when the paranormal privateers meet the world’s greatest fear. And you will laugh all the way.

Paranormal Privateers Progress

Moving on, let me give you an update on my Paranormal Privateers novel, volume three in my Life After Life Chronicles. I had the delight of researching flying saucer movies of the 50s, like this one:

I also had a chance to compute the apparent diameter of the seven-mile in diameter flying saucer next to the ISS, International Space Station, orbiting at two hundred and fifty four miles above the earth. I compared it to the moon at 240,000 miles with a diameter of 2,100 miles. The saucer would look three times the size of the moon.

Adding these and other items to my novel, I’m in chapter 8 Washington DC with 55,000 words done. The first draft will be around 100,000 words. It’ll probably edit to 80-90,000 words.

Let me know in the comments what elements of Zombie Turkeys and My Undead Mother-in-law you’d like to see and I’ll send you an advanced readers copy, the same text I’ll send my editor.
