Lockey vs. the Apocalypse by Meadows, Carl (7 ebook reader TXT) 📗

the craft and a million written words later, and with a commendation in the 2019 Manchester Fiction Prize to fire a serious enthusiasm, he got down to business and wrote five novels in two years to tighten his prose. A lover of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, he likes it when the good guys win through their struggles, and has a day job using his abnormal memory and hyper-organisation as a supply chain guru to make sure lasers get all the bits they need in time for assembly. Pew pew.

Carl is a father of three and lives in the northern English county of Cheshire. Sarcasm is his native language.

His first published novel, 'No More Heroes,' is the opening volume of 'Lockey vs the Apocalypse,' expanding on the world of Chris Philbrook's highly acclaimed and bestselling zombie apocalypse series, 'Adrian's Undead Diary,' with a strong zombie slaying female lead that is one part horror, one part action, one part moving, and many parts laugh out loud.

LOCKEY VS THE APOCALYPSE:

No More Heroes

We Will Rise

The Devil’s Due

Dedication

On 24th October 2009, our family was forever changed when my nephew, Billy, was tragically born sleeping. My little sister also suffered life-threatening complications. Had it not been for the gut instinct of one amazing medical professional on that day, I would have lost my younger sister as well as my nephew.

There is often a fierce taboo associated with talking about the subject of miscarriage, stillbirth, and the loss of a child, usually because it makes others uncomfortable hearing about it. It’s important that stigma is banished. Why can we talk about the loss of grandparents, parents, and siblings, but not that most painful loss of all?

My sister and brother-in-law have repeatedly – and courageously – shared their incredibly painful story, in the hope they could help just one person who may suffer the worst experience any parent could ever imagine, and to break the taboo around the heartrending loss of a child.

There is light at the end of this tunnel, as they have since brought three beautiful girls into this word that have brought the sunshine back to their lives after the darkness of Billy’s heartbreaking loss.

‘We Will Rise’ is dedicated to one of the strongest families I know. For my sister, Rachel, my brother-in-law, Nick, and my three amazing nieces; Florence, Elsie, and Norah.

Above all, this book is dedicated to the memory of my nephew, Billy.

Gone, but never forgotten.

In our hearts for a lifetime.”
