Lucy Before the Apocalypse:

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

After a series of traumas in her young life, Lucy has worked hard at staying strong. She may be troubled — but she knows how to survive.

It helps that someone with an extraordinary gift is looking out for her. But the world isn’t ready for their kind of secret.

Together they cope, until a terrifying encounter with a dangerous criminal. He must be stopped. But confronting him will take her down a dark path to a place far beyond her wildest nightmares!

It’s a shady existence living incognito.

Incriminated for a crime she didn’t commit, Lucy is forced to run. Haunted by guilt and unspeakable trauma, she must leave everyone who cares for her behind.

Her new life in Toronto holds the promise of independence and a career she’s always wanted. Finally she has a plan — until something goes wrong with her new roommate.

But the authorities can’t be allowed to interrogate her. They’ll lock her up and throw away the key. Fortunately someone is willing to help her escape. If only they knew what was on the horizon…

When the plague happens, the evolutionary scale is tipped. An emerging ability to ping could change the face of civilization forever. But first they must survive!

If you like post-apocalyptic survival stories, tenacious heroines, and otherworldly mysteries, then you'll love this heartfelt, science fiction and fantasy saga.

Amazon Reviews

"...so eerie, so foreboding, it's like stepping into a Twilight Zone episode - and it'll be a while before you're able to step back out again!" – Heather Killough-Walden, NYT best-selling author

"…the characters are so engaging that you quickly come to care about this small group of survivors. It was a delight to read a great post-apocalyptic story that was neither gory or relied heavily upon the overused standard tropes of the genre. Instead Lowry has created something very unexpected that provided me with a thoroughly satisfying read. I was sad to see it end and hope to find more books by this author in the future." – Amazon.ca reviewer

"…well-written…interesting, clever piece of fiction." – Amazon reviewer

"...Susan Lowry's debut novel, Ping, is a real page-turner! She creates interesting, compelling characters and a plot that will draw you in and keep you interested. Lowry deftly weaves elements of science fiction into a postmodern, post-apocalyptic world that seems terrifyingly plausible. Fans of Stephen King, Michael Crichton, and Dean Koontz will especially enjoy this strong, swift, suspenseful novel." – Amazon reviewer

"...The author's incorporation of telepathic powers was a unique complexity that served to better interconnect the characters and events. The writing itself was skillful and the editing professional. This is a story as much about the people who survived as it is the apocalypse they survived. Well done! " – Amazon reviewer

"...Gripping entertainment, couldn't put down." – Amazon reviewer
