A 19th Century maid trying to save the world from an approaching comet? That's funny right? Ok maybe it's just me but...** 
I still haven't made up my mind if this is meant to be satirical or not. So it's not just me then who thinks that story seems odd? Lol I'm going to do a search on it, it's got me too curious now.
It seems they have a few of their facts wrong, trust the tabloids. I got this:

Author Profiles website, it includes a picture of the guy... :/
I found a synopsis too
Quote:
Synopsis:
When a meteor strikes London, its inhabitants are devastated. It's not long before corrupt individuals start taking advantage of the disaster and, with the city lying in ruins, nothing seems certain to those who dwell there. In only they knew that, held captive and tucked away in an attic in the city, there is an angel. An angel who fell to earth with the meteor, whose only hope lies in the friendship of a servant girl named Agetta. For in this dark time of treachery and deceit, escape is not likely to come easily.
at
Amazon, for curiosity's sake, nothing else...
