Far away from the flourishing community of Hope Meadows, a young man is struggling to find his place in the post-virus world in which he finds himself. A seemingly chance meeting brings him to a place where he finds acceptance and peace, but when violence encroaches on his new life he finds himself on the road again – this time with a companion, and a purpose.
Meanwhile more revelations are coming to light in Hope Meadows; visions of danger and desperation, with no way of knowing how to help, or who needs it. As the inhabitants dig deeper into what they have learned, they come to realise they have only touched the surface of the Fathers’ message, and what it truly means for generations to come.
With the lives of a young family at stake, and the future of mankind on the brink, the Hope Meadows community fights to bring the last scraps of humanity together to face the ultimate, devastating pronouncement from the Fathers.
About Shelley Clarke
Clarke Nixon is author duo Shelley Clarke and Terri Nixon, who first met while working together in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Plymouth. They quickly became friends, and when Shelley had an idea for a story, Terri, already an established author, helped her to shape it into a novel and get it into print. Not only were they compatible colleagues, but they discovered they were a great writing team too.
Shelley Clarke was born into a naval family in Kent in 1958, and consequently moved house a lot as a child. She had ambitions to follow in her father’s footsteps and join the Royal Navy, and to become a carpenter, but these were not female occupations at that time. So she learned to type… which has come in jolly handy for putting her stories first onto paper, and now onto screen.
Shelley is a keen painter, poet, and karaoke enthusiast; she loves mad family get-togethers, hates olives, ironing and gardening, and currently lives in Devon with her husband Kev, and their two Tibetan Terriers Nena and Pepi, who make them smile every day.
Shelley often forgets she is a grown-up.
Terri Nixon was born in Devon, but grew up on the edge of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, where she discovered a love of writing that has stayed with her ever since.
She also discovered apple-scrumping, and how to jump out of a hayloft without breaking any bones, but no-one’s ever offered to pay her for doing those.
Terri writes family sagas for Little, Brown, and thrillers for Hobeck Books, under R.D. Nixon. She has also written horror, as T Nixon, and contributed to several multi-author anthologies using a number of variations on her name/s. She might be forgiven for not knowing who she is on any given day
