Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Multiple-book-award-winning, bestselling author Ann Crawford believes in love at first sight, that good always prevails, and that we're here for those wildwonderfulwayoutthere visions of ours to come alive.

Ann has lived "Oh, all over." She went from one shining sea to the other, then to the prairie, then to the mountain, just to combine, rock and reverse a couple of our patriotic songs here. Right now there's a view of several of Colorado's purple mountain majesties out the window. When she's not circumnavigating the globe (70 countries/territories and counting, plus all 50 states), communing with sea critters on the ocean floor (in her scuba gear), or climbing every mountain (on the back of her husband's motorcycle), or performing improv or standup comedy, you can find her writing.

Ann is the author of the award-winning comedies FRESH OFF THE STARSHIP and ANGELS ON OVERTIME, women's fiction LIFE IN THE HOLLYWOOD LANE, mystical SPELLWEAVER (about a woman during the witch hunts in Scotland), the deep MARY'S MESSAGE (about Mary Magdalene), and reach-for-the-stars VISIONING. Ann's life-affirming books weave tales of love and intrigue that take readers on mystical journeys with characters who live radiant lives.

Ann is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, too. Her first movie was about a group of vets returning to Viet Nam to perform humanitarian work, give something back to the people, return to their Areas of Operation, and heal their wounds of war. Her second movie involved traveling around the world and interviewing people from all walks of life—heads of state, street kids, academics, artists....the folks of this world—on how they envisioned creating world peace. The website for this movie won numerous awards. Ann is also an award-winning humanitarian.

Ann would be delighted to speak or do a book reading for your group or book club. Please contact her through her website, anncrawford.net.

Fresh Off the Starship is a tale that takes the conventional 'alien landing on Earth' story to a different level. I love the combination of science fiction, humor, and storytelling. The story, centered around Missy, an alien experiencing human emotions for the first time, offers a refreshing look into the human experience. It not only delves into the wonder of an alien discovering the complexities of human life but also touches on themes of love, fulfillment, and what it means to be human. Highly recommended!

A touching story about what it is like to have a human experience through the eyes of a Starbeing

I really enjoyed this book! I found it very entertaining, unique, and I loved the concept. There were a few parts that I had to stop and re-read again as I couldn't quite understand, I wasn't sure if this was due to editing, but I still thought it was beautifully written and I enjoyed it that much I still think it deserves 5 stars. I am right into anything metaphysical anyway so it was right up my alley, and there were moments at the end that were so touching and special. A great reminder to not be so staid and ponder possibilities and different perspectives!

A Delightful Read!

Fresh Off the StarShip is a delightful Sci-Fi read! But beside that, the story makes one think a little deeper about our privilege to play the game of life with all our wonderful five senses compared to other galactic entities in non-physical form. A fascinating read and I’m hoping the author extends this into a series!

"Fresh Off the Starship" is an utterly delightful, thought-provoking, and heartwarming novel. Seamlessly blending science fiction, comedy, and romance, the story takes readers on a whimsical journey that is both deeply human and otherworldly.

The accidental landing of our starbeing protagonist in the small Kansas town, in the body of Missy, sets the stage for a narrative that brims with humor and charm. The author brilliantly utilizes this premise to explore humanity through the fresh, innocent lens of an outsider, making ordinary moments seem extraordinary.

Missy is an enchantingly relatable character, even as she navigates life on Earth in a wonderfully peculiar way. Her interactions with the locals are a source of much amusement and warmth, and her observations about human life are strikingly insightful. The author does an excellent job of capturing her sense of wonder, naivety, and evolving understanding of humanity.

"Fresh Off the Starship" isn't just about humorous encounters and fish-out-of-water scenarios; it's a book that asks profound questions about love, life, and the nature of humanity. The starbeing's original mission—to help humanity—takes on an unexpected dimension as she experiences life on Earth, delving into themes of compassion, acceptance, and the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

The portrayal of the small Kansas town and its inhabitants is equally delightful. The book captures the heart of this tight-knit community, its values, and the way it comes to accept and love the unexpected alien visitor. These human connections and the love story that slowly unfolds add another level of depth to this novel.

The prose is engaging and light-hearted, with moments of deep insight peppered throughout the narrative. The pacing is just right, ensuring that the story is captivating from start to finish.

In conclusion, "Fresh Off the Starship" is a charmingly quirky tale that explores humanity with humor, heart, and a touch of celestial magic. It's a stellar read that resonates long after the final page, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to be human. This novel is truly a gem, proving that sometimes, the most enlightening journeys are those we never intended to take. A must-read for those seeking a story that warms the heart and tickles the funny bone.

The author's vivid descriptions and imaginative storytelling bring Earth and the interstellar world to life, immersing readers in a captivating and light-hearted adventure.

The book's pacing is well-balanced, blending moments of introspection and self-discovery with humorous and lighthearted scenes.
