Have you ever seen Thankskilling? If you haven’t yet, don’t, it’s absolutely terrible. It attempted to meld the concept of horror films with turkeys with a smidge of humor as the glue, but let’s just say it failed miserably (honestly, no audience could possibly gobble that up). Fortunately, being no stranger to reanimating corpses, Andy Zach succeeded in that department. Zach’s Zombie Turkeys (yes seriously…sort of) was a lot of fun and involved, you guessed it, the zombie apocalypse…but with turkeys.
Zombie Turkeys follows a myriad of distraught survivors as they’re faced with the unthinkable. Sam and Lisa battle their way across a corpse infested Illinois. The fun part about the book comes from the absolute absurdity of it all, and the fact that the turkey (our patient zero in the flesh, light or dark meat your choice) gets his own perspective chapters that added a uniqueness to the classic trope. All around a fun romp through a near future where turkeys get their just revenge and survivors serve up some rotted carcasses with a healthy dose of stuffing!

As I said in my previous blog post, I’ve been busy editing and writing my third novel, Paranormal Privateers. That hasn’t stopped me from surfing the net and Facebook and finding all kinds of stuff. Let’s start off with Andy Zach’s Tombstone and epitaph, kindly supplied by my author friend GD Deckard. Give him a follow if you like!

You may not know my first love was science fiction and before that, the US space program and astronomy. I remember tracking John Glenn’s three trips around the earth in pencil on the paper map of the world on my wall. I studied my wall diagram of the solar system endlessly. Then I got hooked on science fiction.
Sometime in the 70s, I discovered fantasy, probably through Tolkein’s ‘Lord of the Rings’.

I’ve sent my book to my editor, Dori Harrell. I kept detailed statistics on my writing and editing. Here they are:
November 2017 – Nanoma writing month, I began the first draft.
| Words/hour | Running total of words | Running total of time |
| 1,008.64 | 50,141.00 | 41:03:00 |
Much to my chagrin, that encompassed only about half my book! I kept writing in December, but the holidays slowed me down.
| Words/hour | Running total of words | Running total of time |
| 630.00 | 59,454.00 | 66:02:00 |
I wrote 20% as many words, but it took 50% more time! I kept writing in January and finished the first draft.
| Words/hour | Running total of words | Running total of time |
| 779.41 | 97,676.00 | 127:15:00 |
I worked as much in January as I did in November and December combined!
Then I edited in February. But that’s a story for another blog post.
