Holy Crap! The World is Ending! by Anna-Marie Abell

End Times Are Here Now you can eat whatever you want and not care if you gain weight.

Autumn, a food and wine obsessed ad executive (who for the purpose of this retelling asked to be portrayed as drool-inducing hot with kick-ass ninja skills), has just been handed the task of saving all of humanity.

Here's the deal. The president has just announced that the Earth is going to collide with a rogue moon, and in the process, our entire planet is going to be smashed to bits. As one would expect, upon hearing this news, humans went ballistic. No car was left unrolled--but oddly enough, Taco Bell remained open and made unfathomable profits in the last days. Apparently, Doritos Locos(R) Tacos were a popular last meal.

After drinking a bottle of wine and inhaling a wheel of Brie cheese, Autumn hijacks a spaceship and races to save her fellow humans with the help of her unbelievably sexy alien boyfriend and her kleptomaniac friend with fire-retardant hair. The task is simple enough, just loot the Ark of the Covenant from a secret government bunker under a department store in Arkansas and use it to convince the entire human race to come together in one giant group hug. No problem, right? Along the way, Autumn will discover just how sheltered people are from the truth of extraterrestrials and their power to either protect us or destroy us.

Stupid government.

Grab a bottle of wine, a spaceship full of snacks, and prepare to take a ride on this humorous chick lit romantic sci-fi paranormal adventure. If you crave a little sexy time in your reading, are into Ancient Aliens, conspiracy theories, UFOs, are curious if we were genetically engineered (like the Sumerian cuneiform texts claim), and are dying to find out the meaning of life, then this book is for you.

Anna-Marie Abell was born and raised in a trailer park. Actually, there are a few. Because her trailer was on wheels, she was able to visit a variety of mobile home parks throughout the Pacific Northwest as her parents relocated her from one to the next. She became completely obsessed with UFOs somewhere along the road. She was probably hoping for extraterrestrials to come and abduct her.

They never did, however. Fortunately for her, she was bright, because college and a full scholarship were her only options for escaping the trailer life. She was well on her way at her new life after moving to sunny California on her virtually full tuition to Chapman University. She managed to start working in an almost completely unrelated profession to her majors: infomercials, after earning two bachelor's degrees (Film and Television Production and Media Performance) and multiple accolades and prizes for her achievements.

She was bitten by the old extraterrestrial bug in college after hearing to Zecharia Sitchin on Coast to Coast AM. She has spent the last two decades investigating ancient Sumerian civilization, particularly their gods known as the Anunnaki, and their relation to the birth of the human species in her quest to discover the truth. Her life, her beliefs, and her perspective of the cosmos and everything beyond were all affected by what she discovered. The Anunnaki Chronicles, a funny science fiction trilogy, is the result of her extensive research, borderline obsession with all things paranormal, and nearly 2,300 bottles of wine.

In a poll by Book Riot readers, Abell was selected one of the Top 40 Modern Science Fiction Authors. Oh my God! WrittenByAnna.com has more information.
