Fun zombie read! I love paranormal and supernatural books so I was intrigued to read this series. I’ve listened to it on audible and the narrators are really fun and easy to listen to, I feel like they’re talking to actual people rather than reading a story. The storyline is funny and it has just gotten better with each book in the series.

Excellent!

Great story. Really hilarious in a ridiculous way and I don’t mean that in a negative way. I love this story! Amazing author and an amazingly well done performance.

My Undead Mother-in-law Excerpt

My Undead Mother-in-law back cover
My Undead Mother-in-law back cover

Sam arrived at the Deviled Turkeys farm in the dark winter
evening. Sam could see the National Guard trucks and a
couple of police cars along the snowy drive to the barnyard.
They had distracted the flock of perhaps a thousand turkeys
from attacking the house and were now barely holding their
own position.


Sam heard the BANG of shotguns, and the pop, pop of
rifles and pistols. Why did the police waste their time and
ammunition? Those weapons proved ineffective against the
zombie turkeys last November.


Grabbing his trusty Flaming Turkey brand flamethrower
from the backseat, he approached the line of soldiers.


“Stay away, mister!” an officer yelled over the crackle of
gunfire.
Sam noticed he had a skinny neck and a shock of red hair.


“You should have a flamethrower!” Sam yelled back.


“We do! We can’t use them this close to the buildings.
There’s a family in there!”


Good thing Lisa isn’t here, Sam thought. During the zombie
turkey apocalypse, she’d flamed first and asked questions
later.


Another car pulled up in the drive. The officer yelled, “Get
away, ma’am! This is a dangerous situation!”


“I’ve come to reason with the turkeys,” Diane Newby yelled
back, her red eyes gleaming.


“You can’t reason with crazed killer turkeys!”

“You watch me!” She leapt past the officer, past the line of
soldiers, directly toward the mass of turkeys. The soldiers
ceased firing, for fear of hitting her. The mass of turkeys
washed over Diane like a tsunami. Sam reluctantly filmed her
last moments, for her family’s sake.


The mound of turkeys burst apart, revealing Diane
throttling a tom. She ripped off its head, legs, wings and then
smashed the body into paste on the ground.

“Listen up, you turkeys!” she yelled. “I’m the boss turkey
now! Follow me!” Obediently, the turkeys followed her into the
barn. She led them back into their cages and shut them in.
Where the turkeys had burst doors and wire fencing, using her
bare hands Diane wove the tough steel wire into a tight net,
holding them securely. “Good thing I’m handy with macramé,”
she said to herself as she wove.

Diane’s clothing was shredded and bloody like she’d been
through a wood chipper, but her skin showed pink and
unbroken through the many holes in her pants and coat. Sam
ran to her.

“Are you OK, Diane?”

“Never felt better! I told you I could reason with the zombie
turkeys!”

“How did you find out?”

“It was on the zombie turkey Twitter feed on the Midley
Beacon page, where I was reading your story about us!”

Your Third Secret Supers Fourth of July Surprise – A New Excerpt

Enjoy this excerpt where Jeremy and his friends go to rescue their friend’s family from a burning house.

Fourth of July Surprise
Chapter 9 Car Wash Icon

The Secret Supers arrived at the gas station. The parking
lot was set up for a car wash with buckets of soap and a power
washer. The day was sunny, but cool, good football weather,
not for car washing. Amazingly, Darla and her friends wore
their cheerleading uniforms, with short skirts and bare arms
and legs.
“Wow, Darla, aren’t you guys cold?” asked Aubrey.
“A little. Once we get cheering we’ll warm right up. That’ll
help attract customers.”
Kayla pushed her tablet at Aubrey. I have to keep hiding
my powers.
Aubrey read aloud, “The nylons help keep cheerleaders
warm.”
“That’s right. Kayla was a cheerleader before her illness,”
Darla said. She looked at Kayla and said, “I’m glad to see you’re walking better.”
“Thank you,” came from Kayla’s tablet.
She doesn’t know Jeremy’s helping me. When he goes to sleep, I get wobbly again. But that is the first time she’s talked
to me since I got meningitis. Maybe she is changing. Kayla thoughtcast.

“How are you going to wash the car in your cheerleading uniforms? Won’t that wreck them?”
“Oh no, we won’t wash the cars. We’re just advertising. The other volunteers will do that.”
“I don’t see anyone else here, but us.”
“My brother Rich is coming with some of his football buddies. Oh, here’s our first customer.” The girls cheered and
did some routines while the Secret Supers washed the car.
Jeremy used an electric scrubber from his wheelchair. Kayla
used the power washer, while Dan and Aubrey soaped up the car.
Rich and his friends arrived. “Great!” yelled Darla. “Now we can do two cars at once. Let’s get a production line going.
Here come some more cars. Keep cheering girls.”
“This isn’t so bad,” Dan said.
“Nah. Just putting on soapy water isn’t a problem. I’m glad I can walk now,” said Aubrey.

A New Excerpt, Part 3

Aubrey Wilcosky


Rich called to them, “I’m surprised you guys came.”
“It seems the least we can do. You guys were nice enough
to come to our magic show,” said Aubrey.
“That was really good. I think I got the card trick figured
out, but not the levitation stuff.”
“Keep thinking. It’s a good practice.”
“Oh no,” Dan yelled.
“What’s the matter, Dan?” Jeremy asked.
“My parents’ house is on fire!”
“Did you get a text or something?” asked Darla.
“Uh, yeah.”
“Sorry to leave you in the lurch, Darla, but we’ve got to go
and help,” said Aubrey.
“What can you do?”
“More than you think.”
“I’ve already called my car,” said Jeremy.
“Your car? You’re not old enough to drive,” said Darla.

“I made a flying car. I can summon it here. See, there it is.”
Darla’s, the cheerleaders’, Rich’s, and the football players’ mouths dropped open as Jeremy’s car came flying down the street, as fast as any other car. Jeremy and Dan had modified it so it had a rumble seat in the back for Kayla and two running
boards with grips and safety lines like a fire truck, for Dan and Aubrey to stand.
“That is SO COOL,” screamed Darla.
The Secret Supers climbed into the car. Jeremy transferred carefully from his wheelchair to the driver’s seat, not using his telekinesis.
“We’ll come back if we can. Watch my electric wheelchair,” said Jeremy as they zoomed off.
“Wow, Jeremy! You’re really going fast,” said Aubrey over the rushing wind
“I told you I was getting stronger. I think we’ll have to modify this again for full seats for you and Dan.”
“Hurry,” said Dan. “They’re trapped in the basement!”

Excerpt, Part 5

Jeremy Fourth of July Surprise

“Okay, let me open her up.” The car sped up, and they began passing other cars on the road.
“Fifty-five, sixty miles an hour! That seems to be my limit, now. Hey, did someone call the fire department?”
“I did before we started,” said Dan. “Oh hurry! The smoke is getting thick! They’re lying on the basement floor with wet clothes over their faces!”
A line of cars at a red light blocked them.
“Hold on! Kayla shields up!”
Shields up, Captain Jeremy!
The car faded into invisibility.
“No one saw that,” said Dan, holding on for dear life as they soared over the cars and traffic lights. “Please hurry! My little sister is coughing on the smoke.”
“I guess we can dispense with the roads. My GPS says if we take a twenty-degree turn—”
“Look out for the high-tension wires,” screamed Aubrey.
Six high-voltage wires blocked their path, less than twenty feet away.
“Hold on,” yelled Jeremy.
The car dropped like an elevator with its cable cut. The Secret Supers ducked, and the wires passed where their heads had been a moment before. They could feel the hairs on their heads lift up from the intense voltage a foot away.
“Look out, a tree,” shouted Aubrey.
The car swerved around and over an oak tree blocking their path.
The Elanga’s house blazed ahead, a pillar of fire and smoke rooted in the disintegrating house.
Swooping down, Jeremy brought the car to a skidding halt in front of the house. A wave of heat burned their faces. Acrid smoke assailed their noses. In the distance, fire engine sirens blared.
Oh no! Dan, are we too late?
“No, they’re still alive in the basement.

Discover My Four Heroes – Jeremy and Dan

“What are you doing, Jeremy?”

Meet My Heroes Discover the Four Heroes
Jeremy using his telekinesis

Startled, I looked up from my computer and turned around in my wheelchair. My best friend, Dan, had slipped silently into my lab. I still thought of it that way, but we’d made it into the Secret Supers clubhouse almost a year ago. Dan’s round, brown face smiled down at me while his tall, wide frame loomed behind me. His dark glasses hid his blind eyes.

“I didn’t hear you come down the elevator.”

“I took the stairs. Your mom made cookies, so I came over. I could smell them from my house.”

“You mean, you could smell them from my mom’s thoughts?”

“And your’s and your dad’s. You were all excited, so I couldn’t help myself from taking a sniff from your mom’s nose. I didn’t snoop any further than that.”

“I know you respect everyone’s privacy with your mindreading power.”

Meet My Heroes Discover the Four Heroes

“Except maybe yours. You did permit me to read yours anytime. But I haven’t read your mind about what you’re concentrating on. C’mon, tell your old friend Dan.”

“Don’t tell anyone. I want to surprise the Secret Supers.”

“Of course not. Now I’m dying to know!”

“I’m applying to Space Camp.”

“What’s Space Camp? I can hear the capital letters in your voice.”

I spun my wheelchair around to face him. “What’s Space Camp? It’s the greatest camp there is! We’re all bored out of our minds now that August has started and we want to do something. Space Camp teaches you all about our space program. You learn about astronauts and rockets. You go on a centrifuge and experience zero-g and moon gravity.

Discover My Four Heroes – Kayla

Meet My Heroes

“Now I know, so we might as well let Kayla and Aubrey know.”

I glanced at my screen clock. “Ten thirty. I can call Kayla, but Aubrey’s at her summer baseball practice.” I speed-dialed Kayla.

“You don’t have to put her on speakerphone. I can read her mind,” said Dan.

I laughed. “You read my mind. I was ready to do that.”

Hello, Jeremy. Kayla’s voice sounded in my mind. Kayla had spinal meningitis and could no longer talk or walk without a walker. I felt sad when I heard her high mental voice, sounding just as she used to talk before losing it.

“Hi, Kayla. I’ve got big news for you and Aubrey: the Secret Supers are going to Space Camp!”

Sounds like fun. I assume it’s all paid for and our parents are on board?

 “Right. I researched it, then my parents contacted yours, Dan’s, and Aubrey’s, and everyone agreed. Just now, I applied and got approval. We’ll be gone for a week.”

When?

“The last week in August, just before Labor Day.”

Now I have something to look forward to, instead of another sweltering day. How long does it last?

“A week. We arrive on the last Sunday of the month and leave on Friday.”

Kayla – Part 2

Meet My Heroes Discover the Four Heroes

I suppose you want me to tell Aubrey. I’ll give her the message to come over to our Secret Supers room, and we’ll all surprise her when she comes in.

“Great idea, Kayla!” I grinned.

Dan’s head snapped up from the phone and then he leaned back down. “You can tell her now. Her practice was canceled because of a thunderstorm. Boy, is she grumpy!”

“Baseball’s the love of her life,” I said. “A new adventure will cheer her up.”

All right, I told her to meet us there. She’s riding her bike straight from practice.

Dan placed his hand on his head like he does when he’s listening telepathically. “Uh, oh, Kayla, you’d better hurry. She’ll beat you here.”

I didn’t think of that. Mom’s busy at work. I can’t interrupt her, and I can’t bike anymore.

I straightened in my wheelchair. “Let me give you a lift—literally.”

Now you’re reading my mind, Jeremy. I was just about to ask you for help. Are you sending your flying car?

“Nope.  Just put on your Secret Supers outfit and I’ll fly you over.”

“I’ll put on mine. It’s here in my backpack.” Dan slid it off his shoulders.

I hadn’t noticed Dan’s backpack.  I turned to my phone. “We’ll make it a full club meeting. This’ll be the first time we’ve worn the new costumes your mom made for us, Kayla.”

I modeled mine for Mom. They fit a lot better than the store-bought ones we had, and they’re much sturdier. The old ones were pretty scuffed up.

“Something about fighting ten-foot robots does that.” Dan grinned.

Discover My Four Heroes – Aubrey

Aubrey on the move

I yelled from the bathroom as I dressed telekinetically, pulling the tights over my legs twisted by a lifetime of cerebral palsy. It did fit better than the old uniform. Even the boots went on better. I loved the material I selected. It was completely air tight and waterproof. It fit beautifully with the other secret enhancements I’d put in. I wondered when I should tell the others about them.

Of course—

THUMP! THUMPITY! THUMP!

I don’t need to read minds to know that’s Aubrey. No one else pounds as she does down the stairs.

The door to the clubroom burst open. “TA-DA! I’m here. I came here at the speed of light,  on a bicycle.”

Coming out of the bathroom, I saw Aubrey’s tousled blond hair peeking out of her baseball cap. Sweat beaded her broad forehead. Her black mask and red Secret Supers uniform clashed with her green ball cap.  Instead of black boots, her prosthetic legs went to her knees.

I smiled at her. “Aubrey, did you notice how much better these new uniforms fit?”

“Yeah, it doesn’t bind me at all when I run or bike. I could wear it all the time. It’s easy to get on and fits nicely around my stumps. Now tell me what the big news is, Jeremy. Kayla wouldn’t tell me anything!”
