Praise from Colleagues

Erich von Däniken 

"Heather's book, "The Anunnaki Connection is the best compendium about extraterrestrial visits in years. All research is strictly scientific, but Lynn managed to write it in a way which is understandable to everyone. The book is a MUST for everyone interested in Ancient Aliens." 

—Erich von Däniken, bestselling author, of Chariots of the Gods and The Gods Never Left Us

Marie D. Jones

"I became aware of Heather Lynn's amazing body of work when I asked her to contribute a Foreword to my book, Viral Mythology. Her research is impeccable, and her dedication to her subject matter is obvious, but what struck me the most is her desire to connect the dots between various areas of study that often go ignored. She has ideas and theories that are valid and intriguing, and she backs them up with a professionalism that is solid, a combination which is often hard to find. I am so pleased to include her among my colleagues and friends."

—Marie D. Jones, award-winning screenwriter, producer, and best-selling author of over 20 books, including Viral Mythology: and Women on the Fringe.
