Greetings, faithful blog followers! And you are the faithful who have stuck with me through my two-week hiatus. Before I get to my Andy Zach Reviews, let me explain my absence: I’ve been busy promoting other authors on my Facebook page:
So that’s where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. Now, about those reviews.
In time order, this one’s first: (Click here)
But to save clicks, here it is:
I reviewed Creating Memories by Jacqueline Gillam Fairchild. (Click here)
![Creating Memories: Book One of the Scrap Book Trilogy by [Gillam Fairchild, Jacqueline]](https://i0.wp.com/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51FBnepwZoL.jpg?w=980&ssl=1)
Jackie’s a fellow author I know. Here’s the review (Click here):
I categorize this book as romantic, comedic fantasy because it has a little magic from Scotland. There are several laugh-out-loud scenes in here, as well as funny one-liners.
Beach reading? Yes! Fun read on a snowy night? Yes!. The novel goes down fast and easy, like a slice of rum cake.
Not everyone is going to like every book, you know what that’s all right. Maybe they don’t understand the book. If you want to envision hordes of undead animals attacking the evil… sorry I don’t do spoilers. Think of a slightly sardonic look on life and you will be getting close.
While reading this book I was reminded of a visionary work of Cinema, “Polterygiest: Night of the Chicken Dead” a great movie by Troma Entertainment. Do yourself a favor check out this book.
‘This’ is the Andy Zach at Barnes and Noble author appearance. How will you get free books? Read and find out!
First, I, Andy Zach signed books and chatted with fans from 1 to 3 PM at Barnes and Noble in Peoria.
Here was the setting before the press of excited Zombie Turkeys fans closed in around the table:
People came by and I signed volume 1 of my Life After Life Chronicles Zombie Turkeys.
Some fans asked me about volume 2, My Undead Mother-in-law, which is also available at Amazon.
Several people asked me what inspired me to write these books. For Zombie Turkeys I said simply, “We fried a turkey and ate it. Around the dinner table someone said, ‘What if the turkey came back to life?’ ‘A zombie turkey!'”
“That thought thrilled me. What if turkeys came back to life as zombies? What a perfect way to satirize the whole zombie genre! So I wrote Zombie Turkeys in November 2015 for NaNoMo, national novel in November month. Click to find out more.”
Wouldn’t you like to know! Where Zombie Turkeys focuses on zombie turkeys, in My Undead Mother-in-law I ask and answer the eternal question, “What should I do if my in-laws are zombies?”
Let’s start with the famous undead mother-in-law herself, Diane Newby.
Here’s Diane’s description from My Undead Mother-in-law:
“You know I love your mother. But your mother’s a zombie. Who wants to see one zombie, let alone four of them?”
“Now that’s not fair. Mom and Dad have adjusted to their zombiism very well. Mom still volunteers at church and bakes cookies and pies for the bake sales.”
Diane greeted us at the door. “Hello, my love!” She hugged Karen.
Karen barely flinched as she looked into her mother’s bright-red eyes. But she grunted “Ugh!” at the force of her embrace.
“Ease up, Mom.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Hello, Mom,” I said as I hugged her as hard I as could.
She hugged me back twice as hard.
“Ugh,” I grunted too.
Diane still had blond-highlighted brown hair, as she did when I first met her. She’d gained a pound or two though. She smelled of the body talc White Linen. I recognized it because Karen and I bought it for her birthday last year, pre-zombie. And she still wore her cat-eye reading glasses on a chain around her neck.”
No doubt you want to know more about Diane and her offspring. Next, I’ll tell you how to get my books for free.
What do you think? Sacrifice your first born child? No. A chicken? No. A turkey? A good guess, but no.
