About this ebook

Angels and demons, good and evil, selfless love and selfish lust tug and grate on the inhabitants of Angus Brownfield’s latest novel, An Angel At Satan’s Ball. Ulysses Everard, Angelic Advisor since Homo sapiens began migrating out of Africa, finds his latest ward, country girl Sarafina Birdseye, more of a challenge than any previous. Assuming the persona of a suave professor at Respected University, he soon falls in love with the innocent and vulnerable incoming freshman. A high-ranking demon, Semyaza, senses that Ulysses can be drawn into the ranks of Fallen Angels if she mounts an attack on his beloved. Aware that she’s attracted to the professor but also to raw sex in quantity, Sarafina finds herself the key not only to an angel’s fate but that of countless souls awaiting permanent berths in heaven. The more she indulges her sexuality, the more Sarafina decides she is unworthy of her idolized mentor. Except for Sequin, a blue collar angel, both angels and demons misjudge the selflessness of Sarafina’s love for Ulysses and where this will lead them both. One will become The Exemplar God has awaited since the Big Bang, the other will find a thoroughly unangelic route to salvation.

Angus Brownfield

Write what you know. I know me and I'm talking to you, reader, in the first person, not the anonymous third person, because when I write I write about me and the world that thrives around me. I wrote decent poetry in college, I couldn’t get the hang of short stories. I finished my first novel so many years ago writers were still sending their works to publishers instead of agents. My first novel was rejected by everyone I sent it to. The most useful rejection, by a Miss Kelly at Little, Brown, said something like this: “You write beautifully, but you don’t know how to tell a story.” Since then I've concentrated on learning to tell a good story. The writing isn’t quite so beautiful but it will do. Life intervened. Like the typical Berkeley graduate, I went through five careers and three marriages. Since the last I've been writing like there’s no tomorrow. I have turned out twelve novels, a smattering of short stories and a little poetry. My latest novel is the third in a series about a man who is not my alter ego, he’s pure fiction, but everyone he interacts with, including the women, are me. My title for this trilogy is The Libertine. Writers who have influenced me include Thomas Mann, Elmore Leonard, Albert Camus, Graham Greene, Kurt Vonnegut and Willa Cather. I don’t write like any of them, but I wish I did. I'm currently gearing up to pay attention to marketing. Archery isn’t complete if there’s no target. I've neglected readers because I've been compulsive about putting words down on paper. Today the balance shifts.
