VALPARAISO Kelly Lucero isn’t a zombie.
But the main character, Zombie Mombie, in her children’s book “Zombie Mombie Saves the Day” is a nod to Lucero’s life as a mother and military spouse through multiple deployments. She admits, too, she has a white dress and a cape similar to the one Zombie Mombie wears on the cover.
Her husband, Chris Lucero, has served in the Army since he was 18. The Valparaiso residents and former Crestview residents have three kids: Sophia, 11; Lyra, 9; and Cayden, 7.
In Lucero’s book, a sleep-deprived Zombie Mombie, who feeds on caffeine, is ready to greet the day with her super mom juggling skills, according to the description. With a sick zombie baby, loads of homework to coach and endless chores to fill her day, she has little time for herself, according to the description.
