Sure it might be winter outside, and It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies, but it won’t be long until spring is here. And nothing trumpets the arrival of spring more than the beginning of the baseball season! And this spring my newest 
picture book Baseball From A to Z will arrive in stores everywhere. So as we wile away the short winter days, when darkness descends on us at two o’clock in the afternoon, and the thought of the sun on our face seems only a distant memory, we can think of baseball… We can think in terms of innings. And what rhymes with “innings”? Winnings! As in you might win a signed copy of The Youngest Templar, Keeper of the Grail.
I am changing this site’s normal contest structure for nine two-week innings and sending out winnings to randomly selected players. Participating is easy. 
For inning #1, running today: Dec 9 through Dec 22, simply tell me your favorite part of the book (if you own it), or favorite part from the book page here on this site. Give me some reader feedback in a comment below and I will give away a copy of the first Youngest Templar book signed to a randomly selected eligible commenter. If you comment AND you become a fan of Zombies on Facebook, you can be entered twice.
Eight more innings to come. Be sure to subscribe to this blog’s RSS feed so you don’t miss a thing.
“Bitter brains are better.” Ha! I love this line. Great idea for a book!
Thanks for visiting Katherine! Happy Holidays!
Looking forward to the baseball book! My son will be five in March — I’m thinking it is a good fit for a five year old?
Hi Abi, I always say my books are GREAT for ALL ages, but a five year old is just about perfect for this book.
“Zombie the Snowman was a jolly, happy ghoul,
With a corncob pipe and some boy’s nose
And two eyes he got at school”
Delightful! I am a bad mom (the best kind!) and let my 7 yr old boy read these songs. My older daughters are contemplating a Zombie Caroling Party.
Zombies and Christmas. FANTASTIC!
“First comes the corpse of little Nell
Oh, those zombies bit it well”
I absolutely LOVE that part. As a member of a zombie-loving family, I eagerly became a fan on Facebook when I first found out about this book. Keep up the good work!
I live in the Philadelphia area and I was wondering where can I pick up a copy of “Its beginning to look a lot Like Zombies”. I have checked around but could not find it.
Hello Guillermo!
Thanks for visiting and sorry your having trouble locating the book. As far as I know it should be available at most Borders and Barnes and Nobles. It’s also available from Amazon and I know they’re are running a “Free Shipping” special from time to time. Nothing beats free!
It might be that stores are selling out of it the closer we get to Christmas. Thank you for trying though and I hope you’re able to locate a copy!
[...] halfway through the first inning. Did you enter the contest? It’s super easy to do and it’s all to get ready for Baseball season and Baseball From A to Z. [...]
I am getting a library of books together for my grandson he will be 1 in Jan. My plans are to get all your books for him and tell him he has an author as a cousin. Distant but a cousin is a cousin.
From looking at the covers of “The Youngest Templar” books, they look like very interesting reading. Awesome to read the comments and reviews from the New York Post writers.
