today we are hosting the
Earth Angel Book Tour
I apologize for my tardiness posting this information.

I've had a chance to read this book Earth Angel, as well as
Boyfriend from Hell- I have to say, they are amazing books. 
You are going to LOVE both books.

I want to introduce to you author E Van Lowe and the incredible books


Boyfriend from Hell
By E Van Lowe
Genre: Paranormal YA
Book 1
Aww, Hell No!
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 guys 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
Boyfriend From Hell is the first book in the Falling Angels Saga from the author of the gruesomely hilarious, Never Slow Dance With A Zombie

Book #2, Earth Angel

Earth Angel
By E Van Lowe
Genre: Paranormal YA
Book 2

Heaven Can Wait!

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.

In E. Van Lowe’s humorous, romantic and thrilling sequel to Boyfriend From Hell, Megan winds up in a gripping life or death battle to save herself, the boy she loves, and all of mankind from unthinkable evil.

Now on to our guest post from
author E Van Lowe

Humor Me
When I was a boy growing up in the Bronx I loved making my older brother laugh.  I’d do anything: tell bad jokes, drizzle milk out of my nose, armpit farts, butt farts.  I was a real laugh riot.  However, as I got older, I grew more serious… and at some point in time the arm farts stopped being funny.  
Outside of performing for my brother, I’d never thought of myself as a funny person.  My early writing was dramatic, almost melodramatic.  As an undergrad I’d read Hubert Selby Jr.’s Last Exit To Brooklyn, an epithet-filled tale about the horrors of living in 1950s Brooklyn.   I decided these were the kinds of stories I wanted to tell.  The difference was, I wanted to tell my stories about growing up in the hard-scrabble streets of the South Bronx.  
I set out writing humorless tales about the underbelly of society.  I gave one of my gut-wrenching tales to my brother, and as he read it he started to laugh.  ”Hey, what’s so funny?”  I demanded.  “This,” he said pointing to the pages in his hand.  I loved making my brother laugh. However, I did not like making him laugh when I wasn’t trying.  I was insulted.  “Why is it funny?” I asked.  “Because this doesn’t sound like you.  This isn’t your life.”  I admit I had taken a few liberties, like my father holding up a liquor store at gunpoint and getting thrown in jail for trying to support his family.  My father was a cook.  And let’s face it, a cook isn’t nearly as exciting as a gun toting papa.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was on the road to writing humor.
Humor has served me well.  My first YA novel, Never Slow Dance With A Zombie, was a laugh-out-loud satire about high school life.  In that first novel I wanted to prove to myself that I could be funny in prose as well as in a script.  In  Boyfriend From Hell and Earth Angel there’s a good dose of humor, but is blended much better with action and drama.   This time I am not trying to prove anything to myself.  I am just trying to tell a good story.  I hope you enjoy it.
