About the Author

Anna-Marie Abell grew up in a trailer park. Well, several actually. Her trailer was on wheels so she got to experience the Pacific Northwest's vast array of mobile home parks as her parents moved her from one to the other. Somewhere along the way, she got totally into UFOs. Probably because she was hoping extraterrestrials would come and abduct her. But they never did. Luckily for her she was smart, because her only hope of escaping trailer life was college and a full scholarship. Moving to sunny California on her almost full ride to Chapman University, she was well on her way to her new life. Two bachelor degrees later (Film and Television Production and Media Performance), and several honors and awards for her accomplishments, she managed to start working in an almost completely unrelated industry from her majors: infomercials. It was in college that she got bit by the ancient alien bug after listening to Zecharia Sitchin on Coast to Coast AM. In her pursuit to uncover the truth, she has spent the last twenty years researching the ancient Sumerian culture-in particular their gods called the Anunnaki-and their connection to the creation of the human race. What she found changed her life, her beliefs, and her understanding of the universe and everything beyond. Her humorous science fiction trilogy, The Anunnaki Chronicles, is a culmination of all her research, her borderline obsession for all things paranormal, and approximately 2,300 bottles of wine. Abell was named one of the Top 40 Contemporary Science Fiction Authors in a poll by Book Riot readers. Holy Crap! The World is Ending!, the award-winning first book in the series, is available now.

Reviews

"A trip to the bookstore brings about new love and a desperate plan to save humanity in Abell's smart debut. The blend of humor and action works wonderfully." --Publishers Weekly"An unexpected story that promises to be one of the most creative fictional discoveries of the year...a fun approach to the entire save-the-Earth-from-alien-invasion scenario which successfully turns traditional approaches upside down." -- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review"An awesome read! Warm, witty-and thought provoking-a beach read that stays with you throughout the year!" -- Aionios Books"A rollicking seat of your pants fun ride through the universe!" -- Joan Silvestro, Booktrader of Hamilton"This book starts with a lot of humour, but quickly gets a very rich storyline with great characters and seriously... this ending? If you like to be blown away, you should read this!" -- Esther, BiteIntoBooks"Anna-Marie Abell has succeeded in weaving her years of study into in the ancient Sumerian culture and their gods with common conspiracy theories, pop culture and random human quirkiness into an out of this world end times romp that will have you laughing out loud at the most inappropriate times and possibly even shedding a tear or two before it's all said and done." -- Jennifer, JennlyReads"A smoothie of fabulousness that tickles as it goes down." -- Jill Elizabeth, All Things Jill-Elizabeth
