Squirrels, Jet Packs, Nanobots – and Free Fiction

Squirrels, Jet Packs, and Nanobots — oh my! What am I up to today? Laughter, amazing science, and a free Zombie Turkeys excerpt for you.

Squirrels come first.

Squirrels, Jet Packs
Malabar Squirrel from India

What do squirrels have to do with Zombie Turkeys? They both appear in my book. The zombie turkeys are on the first page, the zombie squirrels at the end. Here’s your free excerpt:

He felt great, full of energy. He ate a nut from his stores.

Then he went down his tree and out to breed with some females.

He saw a really good one with a sexy, bushy tail. As he

chased her toward her tree, a hawk swooped down and killed

him. The hawk never noticed the squirrel’s red eyes.

From Zombie Turkeys

But don’t feel badly for the poor zombie squirrel. I have another excerpt from the sequel, My Undead Mother-in-law, coming up later in the blog.

Squirrels, Jet Packs – Up Next

Let’s do jet packs first, since that’s alphabetical.

I’m posting interesting science stories and videos all the time to my Facebook page. Here’s another jet pack for you.

But I’m also a sucker for cute animals, like the following squirrel.

My Undead Mother-in-law has squirrels and jet packs–can you imagine? If you can connect the two together, I’ll give you a free copy. Just write me an email here.

Are you ready for another squirrel excerpt? This one comes from My Undead Mother-in-law.

“I wonder if the zombiism causes increased violence in

people? It certainly does for turkeys and squirrels. Did you

read the story about the zombie squirrel killing a hawk?”

“No! What happened?”

“The hawk nabbed the squirrel, as hawks normally do, but

in midair, the squirrel revived, ripped open the hawk’s belly,

bit off its leg, and fell a hundred feet to the ground, where it

scampered away unharmed. It was captured on drone video.

My Undead Mother-in-law

Finally, Nanobots

Nanobots! Beloved of science fiction writers everywhere. They can do about anything you can imagine. But what about real nanobots?

Guess what? I wrote nanobots into Paranormal Privateers. Here’s the first excerpt about them.

“They sent this saucer and picked me up. They made

some biological changes to my body through nanobots, so

I have perfect health and regeneration capabilities. Then

they spent months training me to speak and represent

them to the American people.”

From Paranormal Privateers

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: fictionzombiecomedyhumorunited-statesscience-fictionhorror

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)

Your Last Bit of Awesomeness

Woohoo! One of my favorite reviewers, Rebecca McNutt, has reviewed ‘Zombie Turkeys’. And she likes it!

This book is quite an eclectic mix of themes and genres. It’s not quite horror and not quite comedy, but rather a variety of both, including some sci-fi and adventure elements, a clever and witty social commentary on modern American digital culture, and a more original story to rise from the over-saturated zombie horror genre as something that carves out its own path in the fiction world. In some ways, it reminded me of those 1980’s horror films I used to watch back in high school, and in other ways, with its themes of a modernizing, changing America, it reminded me of films like Steven Spielberg’s Gremlins.
