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?

What’s next? I loved Diane Newby, my Happy Undead Mother-in-law so much, I wrote another novel with her as the main character, Paranormal Privateers. I put Diane and her family on a superyacht and send them around the world as privateers fighting enemies of the US with a letter of Marquis from the President.

What’s New in June? Science SciFi Fantasy

What’s New in June? Science, SciFi, Fantasy – Just for you I’ve got the best science stories, and the best science fiction and fantasy reviews. Plus, pay attention to this post–I’ll give you free books as you read it.

Science SciFi Fantasy – Which one is this one?

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is a hot new movie. It’s science fiction–right?

Um, not exactly. The USAF is rumored to have a new jet that looks suspiciously like the one in the movie. They actually designed an SR-72 which was rendered like this:

“But Andy – that’s only a designer’s dream. That isn’t science”

But try to search on ‘Aurora’, a rumored plane SR-92. Here’s one video on it:

This is surely science fiction: a rover on Mars, traveling so far that it picks up a rock in its wheels. Don’t you hate that in your car?

But wait–it’s a real rover that is really on Mars. Here’s the video proof.

ReviewThis was my first exposure to L.G. Estrella and I definitely want more! The author creates humorous and ironic juxtapositions of characters and roles: Timmy, the dread, dark necromancer, who’s reluctant to kill. Katie, the whiz-bang apprentice who’s 10 and cute as a button and hates being called a kid, and is protected by invisible ninja rats.

Then we meet the bureaucrat who’s 6′ 6″ (two meters) skinny, and loves paperwork. But he can magically retrieve any paperwork at any time. As well as other things.

Finally, there’s the woodland elf who’s a pyromaniac because her magical power is creating fire.

I assure you, you will enjoy this romp.
But wait! There’s more!

ReviewThis book was my introduction to author Jeffery Russell and I assure you I will be reviewing more of his books.

His main character is a sheep gate guard–Durham. He’s unassuming and unambitious but over-talented for the little the job requires of him. He gets an order to join up with a party of dwarves off to retrieve the mace of an undead lich.

Things go humorously downhill from there. We’re introduced to the colorful crew of the Dungeoneers, who specialize in retrieving artifacts from dungeons.

There is more than meets the eye as they probe the ever more complex labyrinth under the necropolis. Then the animated skeletons appear and attack.

Finally! A Science Fiction Book for you!

ReviewMuch to my delight, Blaze Ward continues his high-quality writing in the third installment of his military scifi series, The Science officer.

Javier was captured by space pirates, who destroyed his scout ship and upset his life. He negotiates his way out of slavery and into a valuable officer on their ship, where he can pay off his slave debt.

But things change. The imperturbable captain Zolokov keeps generating new challenges for Javier. Once again, Javier must risk his life to save a crew member or three. One of them hate his guts. They’re in a den of pirates. Oh my.

Oddly, Javier had been there before.

Read and find out what happens.
Read to the end for a final bonus!

Your last bonus for reading this far

Secret Supers: What happens when ‘differently-abled’ people become ‘super-abled’?

A fun story!

May 16, 2022

Format : Paperback

Jeremy has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair to get around. He is in a special education class with Dan, who is blind, Kayla, who was mute and used a walker, and Audrey, who lost her legs and uses crutches.

One afternoon, when conducting experiments in his laboratory, Jeremy accidentally gives himself superpowers. Specifically, he gains the ability of telekinesis, which he can use to help himself walk, cause his wheelchair to travel at much higher speeds, and even fly. Not wanting to keep this discovery to himself, Jeremy tells his 3 friends about it and gives each of them superpowers as well. But now that they have superpowers, what should they do?

Following the words of Uncle Ben of Spiderman, they decide they must use their powers for good, beginning by trying to solve a case of a stolen car, and keep their identities a secret, modeling their costumes on the Incredibles.

Later this month I’ll have my cover reveal for my next novel, Secret Supers. Watch 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:
