Paranormal Privateers First Draft Writing - What's That?


Where does one begin Paranormal Privateers First Draft Writing? With the hook!

Here is my actual first line hook and the rest of the first paragraph:
Dirac sighed with relief when the US flag came down and the surrender flag went up on the mast of the titanic luxury yacht. He didn't mind firing rounds from his AK-47 over their heads, but he hated killing people. He knew they were only infidels, but they were still people.
The reader learns: 1) a US yacht is surrendering; 2) the pirate's name is Dirac; 3) He's ready to use his AK-47 on them; 4) The pirate considers the US citizens infidels.
More questions leap to mind immediately. Don't you want to read the next paragraph? This whole scene is here:

Book Review: Paranormal Privateers: The Adventures of the Undead (Life After Life Volume 3) by Andy Zach
Publisher: Jule Inc.; 1 edition (May 5, 2018)
Sold by: Amazon Digital Services LLC
ASIN: B07CJP8FYP

Paranormal Privateers is my third go-around with author Andy Zack. First, I read his bizarre Zombie Turkeys (How an Unknown Blogger Fought Unkillable Turkeys) (2016). Next came My Undead Mother-In-Law (The Family Zombie with Anger Management Issues) (2017). As the titles suggest, Zack’s world of zombie animals and people aren’t meant to terrify readers. Instead, Zack is out to amuse and entertain us with the most unusual situations and scenes most of us will ever experience on the printed page.
Paranormal Privateers continues the weirdness with a handful of returning characters and the type of zombies few of us would want to kill, destroy, or dismember. They’re, for the most part, super-heroes with superior strength, resistance to diseases like cancer, and the ability to regenerate limbs and other body parts. These zombies don’t want to lose these abilities so they carry around vials of infected blood to make sure they have the means to become a zombie again in case somebody cures them.
This time around, a crew of zombies has a presidential commission and a super-yacht to take on missions the U.S. Military can’t. Their leader is the impatient Diane Newby, the “Undead Mother-in-Law” of the previous volume. She fiercely leads her comrades as they battle Somali pirates, Crimean human slavers, and London terrorists in Harrods department store with the aid of huge zombie bulls. (Talk about a bull in a china shop!)

I’m posting Weekly World Internet News to give you laughs and fun. I get tired of posting serious stuff like my books, https://www.andyzach.net/andy-zach-bo... how to write, https://www.andyzach.net/3-writing-ti... and sad news. https://www.gfa.org/compassion-servic...

Also, there’s this new web comic from my illustrator Sean Flanagan:

That’s certainly fun! If your not familiar with Sean’s work, he did all my covers:
Weekly World Internet News
Andy Zach’s three novels in his Life After Life Chronicles, the comic paranormal animal zombie saga.
Zombie TurkeysMy Undead Mother-in-law
Paranormal Privateers
You may know these covers, but do you know the back covers? Sean did those too.
