Title: Fire in the Woods
Publication date: September 23, 2014
Publisher: Month9Books, LLC.
Author: Jennifer M. Eaton
Synopsis: When a plane crashes in the woods near Jess’s home, the boy of her dreams falls out of the sky—literally. But David’s not here to find a girlfriend. He’s from another planet, and if Jess can’t help him get back to his ship, he’ll be stuck on Earth with nothing to look forward to but the pointy end of a dissection scalpel.
But her father runs their house like an army barracks, and with an alien on the loose, Major Dad isn’t too keen on the idea of Jess going anywhere. Ever. So how the heck is she supposed to help the sweetest, strangest, and cutest guy she’s ever met?
Hiding him in her room probably isn’t the best idea. Especially since her Dad is in charge of the squadron searching for David. That doesn’t mean she won’t do it. It just means she can’t get caught.
Helping David get home while protecting her heart—that’s gonna be the hard part. After all, she can’t really fall for a guy who’s not exactly from here.
As they race through the woods with Major Dad and most of the U.S. military one breath behind them, Jess and David grow closer than either of them anticipated. But all is not what it seems. David has a genocide-sized secret, and one betrayal later, they are both in handcuffs as alien warships are positioning themselves around the globe. Time is ticking down to Armageddon, and Jess must think fast if she’s to save the boy she cares about without sacrificing Earth—and everyone on it.

Jennifer's Top Ten Extraterrestrials!
Honorable mention:
Mork from Ork
Mork is a sentimental favorite. I grew up with Mork, and he introduced me to the genius of Robin Williams. I find it incredibly sad that someone who made millions of people laugh inside could have been hurting so much, and no one recognized it. I know many people will not even know who this character is, but go ahead and YouTube “Mork from Ork” or “Mork and Mindy” and get ready for a good laugh
#10
Daemon Black
I’m an author, so I just had to put in a character from a book in this list. However, I found it hard to come up with one. Daemon Black, from Jennifer L. Armentrout’s “Lux” series is who came to mind for me, probably because he is the most recent, and has received a lot of “press”. Daemon is sort of an anti-hero, because he really is not all that nice, and has basically no scruples, but he will do whatever it takes to protect the people he loves.
#9
The alien from “The Astronaut’s Wife”
I think it has always been a sci-fi concern that something would happen to an astronaut, and that one of these heroes would unintentionally bring something back to Earth. But what about an alien taking over the astronaut’s body and then trying to populate the planet? Oooo, creepy. Not even Johnny Depp’s cuteness could help make this guy cuddly.
#8
Predator
“Over here,” whispers the Predator. “Turn around.” Ewe, I get the willies just thinking about it. Isn’t it everyone’s worst nightmare to be chased by something that you cannot see? Go get ‘em, Arnold! Keep us all safe!

#7
The alien from Alien
Oooooo. Super creepy. Here is an alien that is not really trying to be bad. She’s just reproducing. Hey, everyone deserves the right to be a mother, right? I mean, come on, Sigourney Weaver, give another chic a chance!
#6
Optimus Prime
Just because you are an alien, doesn’t mean you have to be bad. Optimus Prime is the poster child for everything that is good in the galaxy—all wrapped up in a big, bad eighteen-wheeler (was he an eighteen wheeler?) Awe who cares? He was a big, bad truck with a heart of gold.
#5
Gonzo the Great
Everybody loves the Muppets. I remember growing up, never really knowing what Gonzo was. Hey, even the other Muppets admitted to not knowing what he was, until Muppets for Space came out and we all found out that Gonzo had a family on another planet. He’s a top contender for kid-friendly aliens out there.
#4
Jabba the Hutt
You can’t really talk about science fiction without thinking of George Lucas. Out of all the Star Wars characters, I think Jabba is the most recognizable. Who didn’t cringe when he licked his lips and pulled Princess Lea toward his gargantuan, worm-like form? His girth has also creeped into the American culture as being synonymous with being overweight due to over-indulgence.
#3
Spock
“Live long and prosper.” I think even if you are not a Star Trek fan, you are probably familiar with this phrase. Spock entered the hearts of science fiction fans as a no-nonsense character who looks human, but shows no emotion. Spock is a classic character that will live on for years, even if the franchise stops creating movies and television shows.
#2
E.T.
E.T. the Extraterrestrial was a huge box-office hit. Even the black shadow of E.T. is easily recognizable today. Not to mention… his ride in Universal Studios has one of the coolest “waiting in line” experiences out there. Maybe even better than the ride itself.
Dum-Dum-Dummmmmm. And the winner is…
#1
Superman
I don’t think there is a more recognizable alien in existence than Superman. He may be overlooked from time to time because he looks so “Human”, but I think it would be hard to find someone in a modern country that would not recognize The Man of Steel if shown a picture. The symbol for all that is good, Superman has become an iconic character that transcends age barriers to be enjoyed by generation after generation. Long live Clark Kent!
