Speaking of Paranormal Privateers, here’s another related item:

I just thought of a way to give another book away–become the 500th or 1000th person to like my Facebook page above, or my Zombie Turkeys page below:

All you have to do is send me a screen shot, like this next screen shot:

Then I’ll look at my like count and if you’re 500 or 1,000, I’ll send you an ebook of your choice.

Here’s another ‘cool’ video from the Zombie Turkeys page:


Win 3 Free Books from Author Andy Zach – The Second Way

I feel guilty about this way. But it’s worth the guilt. This method can give you up to four books. My Life After Life Chronicles and my soon coming Secret Supers. My book launch date is March 29.

Life After Life Chronicles

What is this magical, mystery method?

Nope, not creating a world-famous pop hit. Just review one of my books and post it on Amazon or Goodreads. Contact me when the review is posted and then I’ll send you a book of your choice

This means you’ll get four free books for four reviews.

Note you do not have to give a favorable review. Oddly, some people prefer to see some low rated reviews. Amazon cares about the number of reviews rather than the average score.

Some authors try to scam people and Amazon by bribing people with books on the condition they get good reviews. Other people try to making a living giving favorable reviews in exchange for money. I don’t want any of that!

As much as I hate 1 star reviews (I’ve gotten some!) I take solace in that everyone is different. Not everyone will like everything. Even CS Lewis, the author of the Narnia fantasy series, gets dozens of one star reviews.

I got a new review of Zombie Turkeys the other day. Let me give it as an example:

5.0 out of 5 stars

This book was really good. It kept me wondering what would happen next. Can’t wait to read the next one.

New Book Coming! Get It For Free! Here’s How

New Book Coming! Get It For Free–Here’s How

The New Book Coming My Undead Mother-in-law is now uploaded to Amazon. It’s not quite ready for sale–but that’s coming. You can read it right now, for free.

New Book Coming! Get It For Free! Here's How
New Book Coming! Get It For Free! Here’s How

First, let me tell you a little about My Undead Mother-in-law. It’s volume 2 of my Life After Life Chronicles. It follows the comic urban fantasy Zombie Turkeys. My advance readers all felt this novel is better than Zombie Turkeys. If you liked that, you’ll love volume 2.

What’s in the New Book Coming

Unlike Zombie Turkeys, I focus on people becoming zombies. And unlike Zombie Turkeys, the villain is not a turkey. Just read the book blurb:

My mother-in-law’s a zombie. And she has anger-management issues.

My mother-in-law, Diane Newby, zombified by accident. She still volunteers at her church bake sales and cooks pot roast for her daughter and son-in-law, Ron Yardley. What ticks her off is when people don’t treat her like a normal human being—with glowing red eyes and super strength and speed. And if she doesn’t get her own way, look out. She explodes and leaves broken plaster and body parts in her wake.    Nothing stops her: not brick walls, the federal government, or middle-aged spread. 

 But the world’s most powerful criminal plans to control zombies. His only problem with zombies is that they have way too much free will. He has a solution for that. But will it work with  Diane Newby?

The world divides into pro-zombie and anti-zombie factions. Battles break out everywhere. Which side will you take? Who will live and who will die?

You might not survive this book. But at least you’ll die laughing.

Here’s How To Get It Free

Goodreads Reviews of Fantasy Humor Book

All the time I’ve published Zombie Turkeys reviews, I’ve neglected the Goodreads Reviews. I’ve corrected that today.

Goodreads reviews Zombie Turkeys print book. Click to download.
The first review reads:

Jacqueline Fairchild This book will not only make you laugh out loud, you will be surprised at the tender moments! You’ll fly right through it and want more. Mr. Zach has a sense of humor we all need!

Thank you, Jacqueline!

The next review says:

MICHAEL CLICK rated it really liked it
Unique book!

I enjoyed this book because it has a unique “twist” on the zombie phenomenon. It’s not “laugh-out-loud” funny, but it’s quite entertaining. Well worth the time to read if you like zombies.

I’m grateful for your kind comments, Michael.
The third review and oldest begins:
Reviewed by: Dr. Wesley Britton
The title of Zombie Turkeys signals this urban fantasy is intended to be entertaining, not to be taken seriously, and likely a comic romp. You can guess there are lots of clever twists in the story, and happily, the execution is more than what readers might expect.

I already have his whole review here.
Since the review, Dr. Britton and I have become friends. Thank you more for that than for your favorable review.

Besides Goodreads Reviews, There’s Another Amazon Review

And here’s the new Amazon review:

5.0 out of 5 stars He’s a great guy to talk to as well
By James Lowrance on June 17, 2017
Format: Paperback
I only just started reading it and I’m LOVING Zombie Turkeys! He’s a great guy to talk to as well!

Latest News On My Undead Mother-in-law, Zombie Turkeys Sequel

As of today, the editing is complete! I will send the final version back to my editor, Dori Harrell, for double checking. Now, I just need to do the following:

First, finish the front matter. The ISBN number needs to be assigned from the ten I purchased last year. Then, I add my Dedication page, and my epigraph, a quote that epitomizes the whole book. Zombie Turkeys epigraph was:

“Birds of a feather flock together.

—The Dictionarie in Spanish and English (1599),

which was compiled by the English lexicographer John Minsheu.”

I already have my dedication, and author bio in the manuscript.

Next, I have to get my chapter icons from my illustrator, Sean Flanagan, along with the final version of the back cover. I gave him some last minute changes to it. Here’s the preview:

My Undead Mother-in-law back cover with book blurb My Undead Mother-in-law back cover with book blurb
And here are some preview images of the chapter icons. First, chapter 1:

Another chapter icon follows:

Then the next chapter icon:

And finally, the last one:

Of course, all of these are preliminary and will change with the final book copy.

Finally, I have to send the manuscript to Rik Hall my layout editor and get it back in Kindle and print formats.

Then, at last, I can upload the final manuscripts and book covers to Kindle and Createspace. Then they review them and finally, put them on sale.

My Undead Mother-in-law will go on sale on Amazon and Createspace REAL SOON NOW.
