KICKSTARTER! The A, B, Zeees, Part II - Z is for Zombie + giveaway

The A, B, Zeees, Part II - Z is for Zombie

💀This Kickstarter is for a full color zombie alphabet book; the second book in my A, B, Zeees series!💀 

Kickstarter Link 

Part II - Z is for Zombie is a chronicle of greed, death by misadventure (or unnatural love...,) and zombies being...zombies. It's also a cautionary tale of what happened to the people who didn't read the original A, B, Zeees book, and weren't able to tell the difference between grrmuflmt (I'm full) and grmmuflmet (I like the look of your ears!) Maybe you'll learn something that will help keep you alive in the case you encounter a zombie. But probably not.

Z is for Zombie is an alphabet book for all the zombie "lovers" in your life!

The A, B, Zeees, Part I

The first book was a way to understand the zombie language, so when they say "wafnagar," you know they just want a hug. My hope was that by enabling better human/zombie communication, I could reduce the stigma associated with being undead.

 Here's a look at the rewards you can get with your pledge!

Book Review: Snoop Come Home: A parody by Jeff Whitcher

What Would Snoop Dogg Do in Charlie Brown’s World?
You’ve probably never wondered what it would be like if Snoop Dogg replaced Snoopy in the Peanuts universe—but once you read Snoop, Come Home, it’ll be all you can think about.

Snoop Come Home: A parody
by Jeff Whitcher
March 13, 2020
What if Snoopy blazed up, dropped a mixtape, and flipped the Peanuts universe on its head?

In Snoop, Come Home: A Parody, cartoonist Jeff Whitcher delivers a hilariously twisted tribute to childhood nostalgia, mixing Saturday morning innocence with Saturday night smoke. When the world’s chillest rapper lands in the suburbs of Schulz’s beloved gang, things get… hazy. From prescriptions signed by Dr. Dre to neighborhood girls interrogating gangsta rap lingo, no character escapes this riotous remix unscathed.

Illustrated in pitch-perfect Peanuts style, this grown-up picture book is a subversive celebration of hip hop, youth culture, and the strange, delightful ways we all mash up meaning. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of comic strips or a disciple of West Coast beats, this is your new favorite coffee table conversation starter.

Not for kids. Not for the faint of heart. But definitely for anyone who loves satire with a blunt edge.

A perfect gift for pop culture junkies, parody lovers, and anyone who’s ever wondered: “What would Snoop Dogg do in a Charlie Brown world?”

Amazon

Whitcher did it...he seamlessly replaced Snoopy with Snoop. Snoop interacts with all the classic Peanuts characters without them breaking character. It's silly and some (Gen Z and Millennials and Boomers) might think Why?

Snoop, Come Home is for my generation--the forgotten one--X. We understand because we are also a smash-up of childish nostalgia and irreverent humor.

This would be a fun gift for the Gen X'er in your life.

POST-APOCALYPTIC HORROR MEETS THRILLER IN A DYSTOPIAN NIGHTMARE OF FIRE AND ASH.

The world didn't end with a bang or a whimper...it ended with people bursting into flames.

Across the globe, spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is turning ordinary citizens into living infernos. Governments collapse, cities fall silent, and the air itself tastes like ash. Society burns while the lucky few are left to wonder: When will it be me?

Sam and Aja were already falling apart before the fires came. Now, trapped in a crumbling apartment and suffocating under the weight of isolation, their love feels just as doomed as the rest of humanity. But when whispers spread of a small Canadian town called Consumption, untouched by the inferno, hope flickers.

Stealing an RV and refusing to leave Aja behind, Sam sets out on a desperate, ash-streaked journey through a burned-out North America. With his best friend in tow and a growing crew of strange, unforgettable survivors, they chase rumors through a landscape warped by horror, madness, and the heat of human combustion.

Perfect for fans of The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway and Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion, Combustible is a harrowing, darkly tender exploration of what survives when everything else burns. Will love endure in a world destined to ignite?

Excerpt:
There were shouts within and then banging, followed by the distinctive sound of splintering wood. I watched a man rush into the room and douse the flames with a handheld fire extinguisher. I got to walking before the smoke settled. I had a pretty good idea of what I’d see and my day was already shit enough.

I hurried around the corner and almost whooped out a hallelujah when I saw the gate to Singa’s was up.

My enthusiasm was tempered when I looked through the window. The place had been ransacked.

Singa, at least that’s what I assumed his name was since he was always there, sat behind the counter reading an old newspaper.

“What happened in here?” I said.

The shelves had all been knocked down, glass to the cold cases reduced to pebbles, boxes, bottles and cans strewn about as if the entire store had been invaded by a mosh pit.

Singa, who had been old to begin with, looked like he’d aged twenty years. The bags under his eyes were dark and had an almost crispy texture. Those umber eyes held back tears that threatened to fall any second. He looked around the remains of his store in a daze.

“Humanity happened,” he said, his voice, like his gaze, far, far away.

I put a fifty-dollar bill on the counter. “You mind if I see if there’s anything worth saving?

“Keep your money.” He either avoided my gaze or thought he was talking to a ghost. “Money burns. We all burn.”

I snatched a reusable bag from the floor and got on my hands and knees, looking for anything that had been left whole. I came up with a box of elbow macaroni, a can each of beets, sliced potatoes and artichoke hearts, three bottles of off-brand water, and a box of stuffing mix. It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing.

I slung the bag over my shoulder. “Is…is there anything I can do for you?”

His eyes slowly found mine. “Yes.” He opened his palm. In the center, I saw a tiny pile of black specks. “Run.”

Singa dipped his head and inhaled the powder like a cokehead fresh from rehab.

The sneeze came instantly.

The flames seemed to burst from every pore of his body.

I jumped back and slipped on a pile of debris, sure that the heat had singed my eyebrows.

Poor Singa slumped into his chair and burned without a sound.

It took a few attempts to get to my feet and run out of the store. In my mad dash back home, my heavy breathing popped the tampons loose. I didn’t stop to look for them.

I noticed fires in other windows.

The one that had been put out earlier was back, blazing again. SHC was like that sometimes. Someone on the radio had called it ‘almost sentient.’ It didn’t like it when people put it out. So, it came back with a vengeance. This time, no one tried to extinguish it.

In fact, there were tendrils of smoke everywhere as far as I could see. And nowhere could you hear the sound of a single fire engine. What was the point?

Oddly, what disturbed me most was when one of the feral cats hiding under a car gave a loud sneeze. It burst into flame immediately. The fleeing blur of burning hair and flesh went headfirst into a wall, made a sharp turn and disappeared down an alley, leaving grayish smoke in its wake.

In the river city of Rau, Amalya dreams of adventure beyond her father’s cozy farm. When she stumbles upon a wounded dragon with the farmhand, Wesley, her dreams of adventure take flight. As the years pass, love and family gradually fade that memory into the background of her life, becoming the only remaining beacon of hope.

Now, Amalya finds herself trapped in the clutches of depression, forced to observe the vestiges of her joy in the eyes of her son. The realization that she will never genuinely reclaim that joy plunges her further into the depths of despair.

When a mysterious man arrives to help on the farm, Amalya feels an unexplainable sense of familiarity. Could he be her only chance to break free from the torment that has haunted her since motherhood? And what consequences must she face to reclaim her light?

Hi, I'm Ashley J. Vinson and I write romantic fantasy inspired by the stories and ideas I fell in love with as a child. Born in Michigan, I studied in Michigan and Florida before I began traveling across the world due to my husband being in the Military. With experience working at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Studios, my love for stories and romance started with the classic tales of happily ever after we grew up with. After I was introduced with the idea of happily ever after, I began writing stories of my own at the age of five.

Now, I write stories primarily for an adult audience.

When I am not writing or reading, I enjoy exploring wherever my husband and I are stationed, watching movies or playing the Nintendo switch.
