Hello there! I’m Ann Christy and my first loves were science and the ocean. I joined the United States Navy and operated all over the world as a Surface Warfare and Oceanography Officer (oh, so much physics!) After nearly three decades in the Navy (including my first years as an Enlisted sailor), I retired as a Commander and now live by the sea with my best buddy and co-author - my dog. Oh, and family. I also foster kittens for a local rescue.
I started in this crazy publishing industry as an independent author a decade ago. My first series, the Silo 49 series, is set in the world of WOOL created by Hugh Howey, with his blessing. I’ve since written about everything from a nanite-caused zombie plague to a first-contact portal sci-fi. Throw in a vampire book (making them biologically possible and not at all what we imagine), and a robot or two, and you have my speculative fiction catalog. Aside from trying to use what I know about science to make what I write seem real (and so much scarier because of it), I’m also known for my ability to create characters that feel entirely real.
My 25th novel, The Never-Ending End of the World, is releasing tomorrow. It’s being hailed as one of the most unique post-apocalypse scenarios in fiction. It’s said to be Station Eleven meets The Last of Us, but I feel like there’s some The Book of M and a hint of the movie Interstellar too. NEEW (as my Campfire publishing team lovingly refers to it), has been in the works for more than three years.
The story kicks off with a young woman who must survive a world trapped in time. Cars drive by, people go shopping... Everything seems normal, but if Coco makes the wrong move, it's a fight for her life. The loopers seem harmless enough, but breaking a loop can be a deadly mistake. Why is Coco different? Why is she free?Enough about all of that, though… It’s time to ask me anything PROOF
ETA: Alright everyone! I had a great time answering your questions and engaging with so many cool and interesting people, but my time is at an end. I'll pop back in now and then to see if there are any questions to answer, and I'll do my best to keep on answering, but that will be later. If you'd like, you can find me on social media. Just search for me, Ann Christy (I mostly use Facebook and Threads). Be well all and have a great night!
