LOCAL author, Krystal Markey, will launch her debut novel, Zone Zero, at the Shepparton Library on Thursday, February 19, at 6.30pm.

A story of survival, forbidden love and what it means to claim your own destiny follows Evie in a world divided by crumbling zones and fractured by fear.

Evie has spent her entire life following strict rules, living behind fortified walls, and training in the military with one objective: to survive. But everything changes when a mission gone wrong leaves her outside the city limits, and in the hands of a vampire.

Krystal Markey is a Kialla resident juggling two beautiful daughters, working in Community Services, and chasing her dreams of becoming an author. Krystal’s debut novel, Zone Zero, is the first in a series, with the second novel due for release in the coming months.

To see Krystal discuss her writing experience at the Shepparton Library on Thursday, February 19, please contact Shepparton Library on 1300 374 765 or email gvlibraries@gvlibraries.com.au to book a seat. You can also book online via the library website www.gvlibraries.com.au under the events tab.
