A Double Publication Party


 White Whisker Books, is having a special day at Vroman’s Bookstore on Thursday March 13th at 7 pm. That evening, they will be debuting two new books.  The first is mine, Falling, the fourth and final book in The Falling Angels Saga.  Here’s the cover blurb:

The End is Near
Will Megan Barnett go falling back into the arms of dreamy earth angel, Guy Matson, upon his return? Or, is she in fact, falling in love with the demon, Orthon?  Or, will her out of control abilities send her falling into Satan’s open arms?
In the final, heart-stopping chapter of the Falling Angels Saga, Megan Barnett is on a quest to rid her life of Satan forever, but Satan has other plans, including a lavish wedding, and he’s willing to destroy her family and everyone she loves to have his way.  To add to the drama, rogue demons have risen from hell with plans of their own.
Will Megan finally have her happily-ever-after, or is she doomed to an eternity in HELL



On that evening, I will also be announcing the winner of my The Easter Egg Contest.


In the second presentation, author Shelly Lowenkopf will be bringing out his first collection of short fiction, Love Will Make You Drink and Gamble, Stay Out Late at Night. It's not officially published until June 5th, so this is a pre-publication party for Shelly, but there will be some advance copies for sale.


Shelly’s stories have been published in magazines and literary journals over the years. All the stories take place in Santa Barbara which, as Shelly describes, “is an oceanside city north of Los Angeles, where people go after they've burned out in San Francisco and L.A.—but there's no safe haven anywhere.”  Shelly's presence has special significance for me as Shelly was my favorite writing professor at USC.  It was Shelly who encouraged me to follow my dream.  So we have him to blame :)

The party is open to the public.  There will be refreshments served.  I hope to see some of you there.  Those of you who live in other parts of the country, please tell your friends in Southern Cal to come out and join us.  I promise to take good care of them.  Peace.

Falling Cover Reveal



If you haven't yet seen it, here's cover for the final book in The Falling Angels Saga.  Falling.  Isn't it stunning?  I really have to hand it to Jayde for designing such beautiful covers for this series.  Here's the blurb:

Think twice before you agree to marry Satan. There’s no divorcing the devil.

The End is Near

Will Megan Barnett go falling back into the arms of dreamy earth angel, Guy Matson? Or, is she in fact, falling in love with the demon, Orthon? Or, will her out-of-control abilities send her falling into Satan’s open arms?

In the final, heart-stopping chapter of the Falling Angels Saga, Megan Barnett is on a quest to rid her life of Satan forever, but Satan has other plans, including a lavish wedding, and he’s willing to destroy her family and everyone she loves to have his way. To add to the drama, rogue demons have risen from hell with plans of their own.

Will Megan finally have her happily-ever-after, or is she doomed to an eternity in HELL?

Falling will be available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble on March 13th in both ebooks and paper books.

COVER REVEAL---Sort of

Jayde (book cover designer), along my publisher, thought it was time to give The Falling Angels Saga a face-lift. After all, both Boyfriend From Hell and Earth Angel were Amazon children's/YA ebook top 10 best sellers.  I thought "If you're going to freshen up the covers, how about giving me my props and making my name a bit larger."

Over the next few days I'll be revealing the updated covers leading up to the February 10th, Falling cover debut. The changes in the covers are subtle.  Jayde was going for a fresher, more modern, less stylized look. I think the new covers are even more eye-catching.  What do you think?  Here's the old Boyfriend From Hell cover followed by the new.  I'd love to hear your thoughts.




Friday, we'll reveal Earth Angel.  And don't forget to weigh in, positive or negative, we'd love to hear your opinion. Peace.

Win An Amazon Gift Card With a Bookie


Last week I saw a post on Ann Handley's blog talking about the shelfie--Photos readers sent in of their book shelves.  I loved the idea, and thought I'd use it to for my next contest.  Instead of doing a shelfie, I'm asking readers to send me a photo, or two, or three, of themselves and a favorite book.  I'm calling these selfies with books--Bookies!


In honer of my latest novel, Falling, coming out in just over a month, I've decided to hold a host of contests and giveaways.  This one begins today and ends next Sunday (February 8th).  Just take a selfie of yourself with a book--any book.  Hopefully it's a favorite book, or a beloved book.


I've taken a few of myself.  I've even taken one with my ipad, so you ereaders, don't let not having a physical book stop you.  I hope you guys can get creative with this.  I'm not sure what that means (do it in costume), but I want the contest to be fun.  I'll post my favorites on my Facebook Page during the week.  By the way, if you haven't liked my page yet, why not stop over and do it right now:  E's Facebook Fan Page.

CONTEST

Send your Bookies to me at info@evanlowe.com under the subject heading Bookie.  Next Monday (February 10th) I will select a winner at random.  I will announce the winner on Tuesday February 11th, and send that person a $10 Amazon gift card just for playing.  It's that easy.  If I don't receive at least 10 entries from 10 different participants no prize will be awarded.  If this contest goes well, I'll do it, or something like it, again real soon.  So please, tell your friends.  If I get 30-50 entries or more I'll up the prize next time.  You have 6 days to send in your bookies.  I'm looking forward to getting lots of them.

That's all for today.  I hope to receive lots of Bookies over the next 6 days.  Peace.
