HAPPY RAID DAY!

About the Anthology

In July of 2019, author Terri A. Wilson contacted other authors with a simple idea. “I think it would
be fun to create an Area 51 anthology and release it around the time of the big invasion. Maybe a
charity anthology - all genres. Any interest?”

The idea caught fire among her writers community, with writers she knew sharing the idea with
writers they knew. In the end, 47 authors of all different genres agreed to try their hardest to craft
a story that honored Terri’s few stipulations.

  1. Stories didn't have to include aliens, but they needed to incorporate Area 51

2. Stories had to be professionally edited

3. Stories had to be submitted on a tight deadline so they could be professionally assembled and
formatted

4. All proceeds from the book would go to the United States veterans foundation selected by the
group. *Due to legal reasons we cannot directly name the foundation in any book marketing.

In the end, twenty-five authors submitted stories to the anthology.

“I am so blown away by the response to this antho.” Wilson said. “The energy is overwhelming.”

Book Blurb:

What’s in Area 51? Is the government hiding aliens? Elvis? Maybe the set of the Apollo moon landing?

Do you know?

We do.

Join this multi-genre group as they explore the hidden recesses of Area 51 which up until now have
only been whispered conspiracies. Don’t bother with the raid. Stay home, read these awesome
stories and learn all you need to know. The truth is just a page-flip away.

Living With The Dead by Annie Walls

For five years, life is strenuous for Kansas Moore as she travels with her team and saves more people from the clutches of the revolutionists. On the downtime, they bide time by constructing and enlisting for their own cause.

When the general assigns her to search for Mago, she turns to the team and what they find overturns everything they've learned so far.

In this dramatic conclusion of The Famished Trilogy, things are not what they seem and comfortable living is far from reach.

This book contains graphic violence, intense language, sexual situations, drug use, and is intended for a mature audience.
