Guest Post: Tale from The Darkside
by E. Van Lowe
Ever since I first saw Star Wars: Return of The Jedi, where we learned that villain, Darth Vader was actually Luke Skywalker’s father, I have been intrigued with our dark side. Every one of us has one, no matter how sweet and kind we may be. Heck, if sweet Luke Skywalker’s dad has one, you know there is a dark side in us all.
At times I see it in myself. I’m a sweet, easy going guy, but every once in a while, someone cuts me off in traffic and boom—a murderous Darth Vader shows up. I chose the latest Falling Angels Saga novel, Heaven Sent, to explore the dark side in my characters, especially the series protagonist, Megan Barnett. Megan is kind, considerate, helpful, but there were moments in Heaven Sent where she was… Well, the only way I can describe it is, a bitch. I thought Megan’s transformation would be difficult for me, yet from her first transformation scene, I noticed I was having fun. I was smiling while writing those scenes.
I believe writing those scenes was cathartic. It definitely lightened my disposition: “Go ahead and cut me off in traffic, dumb kid. I’ll just have Megan take it out on one of her classmates.” “Hey lady, you didn’t realize a brimming shopping cart contains more than ten items? No problem, but one of Megan’s co-workers is about to get slammed.”
My problem is, I’ve turned the book in. Heaven Sent is due out on December 15th which means no more bad Megan to buoy my attitude. So Mr. slow-walker, today would not be a good day to start across the street when the “Don’t Walk” signal has been flashing for ten full seconds. If you do, my beat-up old car just might have to nudge you along.

Angels Saga Book One
By E Van Lowe
Genre: Paranormal YA
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.
