I’m glad you asked! It so happens My Undead Mother-in-law begins on Valentine’s Day. As the book opens, the family has dinner together, the undead zombies and the normal family members. Naturally, we celebrate it every year.

Here’s 2018’s celebration. 

All of 2017 was dedicated to My Undead Mother-in-law.

What’s that you say? You’d actually like to hear that scene? It so happens I’ve recorded myself reading it right here:

Good news! I’m giving away a free paperback or ebook and an audiobook at the end of this month. Enroll right now the in the drawing.

You can also read the book for free on Kindle or Audible.

Finally, if you’re desperate, you can always do what I do when I want to read a book and not pay for it. Go to Amazon and click on the ‘Look Inside’ button and read random sections until you’ve read it all.

One more thing: here’s a Happy Undead Mother-in-law Review

Why is this my favorite review? It’s from a professional author who doesn’t like zombie books, yet loved My Undead Mother-in-law..

4.0 out of 5 stars

Not your standard zombie tale

When I started to read this book, I was leery. As far as I know, I’m less interested in zombies than anyone on the planet. How could I give a reasonable review? Turns out, it wasn’t hard at all. I’ve said before and it turned out to be true here that, if you have a ridiculous premise that’s hard to swallow, run with it, normalize it, and readers /viewers will eventually accept. And it worked. The original premise of cognizant, virtually indestructible zombies was lobbed and backed until I was a believer, actively rooting for zombies. Plenty of (bloodier than average) action, some smiling, if not guffaw humor, a nice fulfilling story arc in an easy readable length made for a fun book (if bloody action doesn’t bother you) with charm that didn’t take itself to seriously but still capable of many a tender and touching moments.

I’m glad my prejudice didn’t keep me from enjoying this out-of-the-common-way story.

Happy Undead Mother-in-law’s Day – Now What’s Next?

Later this month I’ll have my cover reveal for my next novel, Secret SupersWatch this blog or my Facebook page  for the exact date. I’m waiting to get all the pieces of the book together: interior text (being edited), chapter titles, and back copy blurb.

Once it’s all together, I assemble it and schedule my publication and launch dates.

Here’s a cover tease:

But that’s not all! I’ve scheduled my first author appearance this year. See this next Facebook post from my page.

My goal is at least twelve author appearances this year. I’ll let you know as I schedule them.

Zeedub Bezzies: Travel, Tunes, and Zombie Turkeys with Andy Zach

by Zachry Wheeler | Jan 23, 2019 | Zeedub Bezzies

Zeedub Bezzies is an ongoing series where I showcase talented authors by goading them into random questioning. It’s good fun, a little weird, sometimes awkward, but always entertaining.

My my my, how to describe Andy Zach in simple and conventional terms. A nigh impossible task, but let’s try anyway for our own amusement. Peculiar? Yeah, but that’s par for the author course. Quirky? Most definitely, but that doesn’t paint the fullest of portraits. Delightfully bizarre in a preternatural Lemony Snicket kind of way? Mhmm, that’s about as close as we’re going to get. Andy found it most agreeable to participate in Zeedub Bezzies, so let’s find out more about him.

9 Great Links For You – The Sixth

The next video is six minutes long and boring. It just shows a light pulse moving from the Earth to Mars and back. The awesome thing is, since it’s moving at the speed of light, it gives you a feel for the vast distance between Mars and the Earth, even at our closest approach.
