An international bestselling author, Manel Loureiro was born in Pontevedra, Spain
and studied law at Universidad de Santiago de Compostela.
After graduation, he worked in television, both on-screen (appearing on Television de Galicia) and behind-the-scenes as a writer.
Apocalypse Z, his first novel, began as a popular blog before its publication,
eventually becoming a bestseller in several countries, including Spain, Italy, and Brazil.
Manel has written three novels in the Apocalypse Z series.
He currently resides in Pontevedra, Spain, where, in addition to writing, he is still a practicing lawyer.
The best part of this whole thing is that the Lawyer is NOT one of those macho types
who thinks he can defeat the hordes and take back the world.
He is a regular guy.
A regular guy who learns through desperation how to survive in this post apocolyptic world.
A man who has never fired a gun in his life,
a man who loves his cat and risks his life for it,
(the cat was given to him by his sister after the death of his wife)
a man who cares about other human beings and makes every effort to keep those he finds alive.
It is interesting to see a horror story told happening in modern Spain.
The audiobook is a real treat.
My computer is still dead. Wish me luck as I borrow a friend's computer to write this. :-)

Good luck on the computer front. I hope a resurrection is possible.
ReplyDeleteAnd love hearing about a hero - who is ordinary, and decent.
I have my co-worker, Nick, The Jedi Knight of Cyber Repair, looking at my computer tonight -- but it does not look good. :-(
DeleteYes, a decent, ordinary hero is a rare surprise these days, isn't it? :-) Thanks for caring,
I feel your pain, on the computer. I'm just happy I got a new one when lightning struck my house last year. I still blame Thor!
ReplyDeleteI think the minions got a hold of mine! I,writing on my Kindle fire which is maddening! Thanks for caring.
DeleteSorry about your computer.
ReplyDeleteSet in Spain would be cool. That's what I liked about the movie The Devil's Backbone.
Being set in Spain puts a whole international spin to it and lets you see America and the European nations through the eyes of a European. :-)
DeleteYou probably need to trade it in and get a newer model, Roland, they are cheaper than they were a few years ago. Good luck with fixing it, if it can be resurrected.
ReplyDeleteNick, the cyber Jedi Knight, is still working on it, but I have an order in for a newer computer ... now cross your fingers: I've never ordered online before! :-)
