Life After Life Chronicles: Progress Update

Progress! “Life After Life Chronicles” Slow, but right!

I just made progress on My Undead Mother-in-law! That’s the second volume of my “Life After Life Chronicles”, my comic parody of the zombie genre. So far I’m 93% complete on the Week 4 phase. 5 Weeks remain until the deadline.

I spent 37 years as a programmer, systems analyst, and project manager, and the classic description of project management is “It takes 50% of the time to get 90% done, and then 100% of the time to get the last 10%”. Project management has such low standards that any completed project is considered a success, even if it’s late and over budget.

By these generous standards, my book “My Undead Mother-in-law” is doing great! The first draft is only five weeks late! I have real hope of getting it to my editor by May 1st. So, I’m not as big of a turkey (zombie or otherwise) as I could be!

I believe this volume 2 of the “Life After Life Chronicles”, my series of comical zombie books, is more complex and just as entertaining as “Zombie Turkeys”. (Available for purchase on Amazon: link.)

My Undead MotherInLaw Progress Update December 5, 2016

Belated Book Status Update – My Undead MotherInLaw

Firstly, I just made progress on My Undead MotherInLaw! So far I’m 75% complete on the Week 4 phase. 5 Days remain until the deadline. Oh–the deadline, November 30th has passed. So I’m late.  But I’m still plugging!dsc_6975bl

Here’s a synopsis of My Undead Mother-in-law:

Synopsis

Let me tell what what my undead mother-in-law is like: she likes to bake cookies and apple pie. Oh, and she terrorizes her zombie son and daughter-in-law to be for not being married.

Me, I married her daughter Diane before she became a zombie.  That was a big change in our relationship. Most of the time, she’s just like a normal person, with bright red, glowing eyes. But when she loses her temper–look out!

I’m just an internet marketing rep and part time blogger. Ron Yardly. But I’ll tell you the tale of my zombie mother-in-law. Don’t flinch.

Finally, just for comparison, I was also late last year writing Zombie Turkeys. But look how well that turned out!
