Got Any More Books Coming Up?

Indeedy do! The third book in the Life After Life Chronicles, my humorous zombie books set in our modern society has the working title Paranormal Patriots. I want to publish it in April 2018.

Research topics I covered for the next book were Somali piracy and letters of marque. Did you know the last letter of marque was issued in 1815 for the ship the Grand Turk, to be used against the Barbary pirates? It was never used since the second Barbary pirate war ended.

Then later on President Lincoln thought of using them against the Confederacy but didn’t. The Confederacy, however, issued letters of marque against the Union.

Finally, Ron Paul introduced bills for letters of marque against Al-Qaida in 2001 and 2007. In 2010, a Navy lawyer researched the plausibility of letters of marque against modern pirates and concluded it was a good idea.

What do you think? Respond in the comments or by email.

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:

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.
