UFI welcomes E Van Lowe Author of The Falling Angels Saga. Thanks for Joining us!!
What can you tell my
readers about yourself that they might not know from looking on your bio or
reading in another interview?
I
love this question. There are so many things readers don’t know about me. I love sports, playing and watching. Sports play as big a role in my life as
writing. I also love to help people
especially young writers. But the big
thing people don’t know is I am a joker.
I love having fun with people.
What do you enjoy doing on
your down time?
This
is a carry-over from my last answer.
Sports. I try to play tennis 3-4
times a week. I try to workout in some
form almost every day. I also enjoy
hanging out with friends, movies and TV.
What is your Favorite part
of writing?
Finishing! LOL!
Seriously, there is no charge in life bigger than writing the words ‘the
end.’ Finishing means there’s a chance
an audience might find it. You can’t
beat that.
Do you have any certain
routines you must follow as you write?
No. I did when I was starting out as a writer,
but not anymore. Everyday has a
workload. Interviews, guest blog posts,
edits, movie and TV meetings. Days when
all I have to do is write are the best days.
And while I don’t have a routine, when I am in writing mode the goal is
always to turn out 3-5 pages a day.
What are some of your
Favorite books or Authors in the Urban Fantasy/ Paranormal Genres?
I
love this question, too. Laurell K.
Hamilton is the person who inspired me to write this genre. Reading Laurell K. and then Kim Harrison I knew
this was the genre I wanted to make my home.
I also enjoy J.K. Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, and I am currently reading
Cassandra Clare’s Clockwork Prince, which means I’m also hooked on Mortal
Instruments and Infernal Devices.
How would you explain The
Falling Angels Saga to someone who
has never heard of it before??
Angels
and Nephilim and demons, oh my!
Seriously, it’s the story of an ordinary girl who unbeknownst to her has
been promised to the devil. Everything
that transpires in the series is an offshoot of that promise. A handsome
Guardian Angel intervenes. The angel and
Megan fall in love, amidst many complications.
While the series is exciting and romantic, it also has a funny side,
which is something you don’t normally find in my genre.
What can you tell me about
the world that The Falling Angels Saga is set in?
Because
Megan Barnett is an ordinary girl, the series is set in the ordinary world of
Glendale Arizona. Wait, Megan isn’t so
ordinary. She’s a smart girl, an AP
student who is also a mathlete and gets off on useless trivia. Megan is not a member of the school’s in
crowd. She’s a geek. But when handsome bad boy, Guy Matson, comes
into her life, everything changes.
What book in the series
was your favorite to write?
I
just finished writing Heaven Sent,
which I think is the best book in the series, but I’d have to say Boyfriend From Hell, because without
that book there’d be no Falling Angels Saga.
Which character was your
favorite to write about? What about the hardest to write about?
My favorite character is Aunt
Jaz. I styled her off of the Oracle in The Matrix, but once I got a fix on her,
she took on a life of her own. We see a
new side of Aunt Jaz in Heaven Sent, when
a man comes into her life. The hardest character
to write is Harrison because he’s Australian and I want to get the accent and
colloquialisms right. Don’t get me
wrong, I love writing Harrison, but I have to do extra research to make sure he
comes off convincing.
What Other Projects can we
look forward to reading from you?
Right now I’m taking a break
from writing books and working on a few outside projects. In January I will either start work on the
final Falling Angels book or the second in the Hollyweird series.
Thank you so much for having me. I really enjoyed this interview.

Boyfriend from Hell
Falling Angels Saga #1
Fifteen year-old Megan
Barnett and her single mom, Suze, have a special relationship—they are
friends, close friends, who do almost everything together.
“But
come on, guys, she’s my mother… Can I really tell her that while we’re
snuggled up on the sofa watching Spider Man Three, I’m secretly
undressing James Franco with my eyes? Of course not…”
The
special bond takes a turn for the worse when Suze decides to start
dating again. She hasn’t had a man in her life since Megan’s father left
ten years ago.
Enter two mysterious young men, Megan’s new
classmate, sinfully attractive bad boy, Guy Matson, and the dangerously
handsome art dealer, Armando. Before long Megan and Suze both wind up in
steamy relationships.
But neither of the handsome pair is quite
what he seems. In fact, one of them is Satan, with his sights set on a
new bride. Megan has precious little time to figure out how to stop him.
If she doesn’t, either Megan or Suze are quite literally going to HELL.
Earth Angel
Falling Angels Saga #2
Just because Megan Barnett recently defeated Satan, has a fantastic new best friend, and has won the love of deliciously
handsome,
Guy Matson, doesn’t mean her troubles are over. Far from it. For Megan
doesn’t realize it, but in her possession is a powerful weapon, a weapon
sought after by both angels and demons and everything in between. They
will do ANYTHING to get it.
Heaven Sent
Falling Angels Saga #3
As summer break for
Glendale Union high begins, heartsick Megan awaits Guy's return while
struggling to control her emerging abilities. Love is in the air, but
can the new loves in Megan, Maudrina, Suze and Aunt' Jaz's life be
trusted? Nothing is what it seems. Meanwhile, the Satanists are set to
hatch their most diabolical scheme ever, and if it comes to pass, Satan
may finally win out.
Megan has precious little time to unravel
the cryptic message hidden in the riddle she received at the end of
Earth Angel. If she doesn’t, the life of someone most dear to her will
be lost forever, and Megan may yet find herself living in HELL.
