Edge of Ridiculous (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998884301)

Anne Coffer lives in West Texas where nothing grows but the imagination. Born in the 80s and growing up in a small town in New Mexico, only the local library offered escape from the confines of reality and school. Anne's fascination with science fiction and fantasy were inherited from her father, who sat down with Anne as a child weekly to catch the newest episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Xena: Warrior Princess. A slew of other fantasy books and films would feed the inner muse monster that would eventually push Anne to write her first full length novel at age 11 (after many, many unfinished attempts starting from kindergarten). It was about a girl exactly her age (and suspiciously looked exactly like her) going on whirlwind adventures. Anne is also pretty sure the show Sliders stole its inspiration from her epic tale Lost written in the third grade. Though it was only 56 pages long (hand written) the basic concept was there. (Not really I'm just kidding, I mean, about them stealing the idea. I really did write that story.) She won her first writing contest in 7th grade and has felt empowered to force her stories on people ever since. She's sorry.
