What Happens When an Angel Falls? (book review and giveaway)

About the Book - About the Author - Prizes!!!

Welcome to Novel Publicity's first ever publishing house blog tour. Join us as three new titles from Perfect Edge--we're calling them the Perfect Edge Trifecta--tour the blogosphere in a way that just can't be ignored. And, hey, we've got prizes!

About the book: It's been rough lately for the Lord of Darkness, with ex-girlfriend drama rearing its head at inconvenient moments, ancient gods returning to take over the universe, and Satan's own unstoppable laziness. But whatever. Satan is okay, and he thinks you're okay, too. This whole eternal damnation thing is all a bit of a misunderstanding. He runs Hell as a resort, kind of. A vacation spot. The point is, he's not a bad guy. He's trying to save Heaven and all of creation, and he only has a dimwitted giant, a surly waitress, and a monkey to help him. So, a thank you might be nice. Maybe buy him a cup of coffee next time you see him. And you will see him. It's the Apocalypse, and all that.

Pick up your copy of this Fantasy/ Satire through Amazon US, Amazon UK, or Barnes & Noble.

You can read an excerpt on the giveaway page: just click the middle tab!


About the author: Michael Paul Gonzalez lives and writes in Los Angeles. He is the editor at ThunderDomeMag.com, an online lit zine and small press. He is at work on his next novel as you read this. Seriously. He probably just rattled off a really amazing chapter, and someday you’ll read it and think back to this moment, and exhale. Connect with Michael on his website, Facebook, GoodReads, or Twitter.


Review: Ok you know me, there are times when I like to read books that shake up the status quo some (anybody for My Imaginary Jesus?). This is definitely one of those books-I laughed my way through most of the book, which I stayed up til 2 am reading it in one sitting, as I couldn't wait to see how it ended! This book has so much snarky satire in it, that you should NOT read it with a highlighter in your hand, as you may find yourself highlighting odd phrases as they are hysterical! Luckily for my I was on the ereader, though I think the bookmark feature got worn out that night!

The book takes an improbable team of misfits and makes them SO lovable that you are cheering for them to have a successful ending to the book, and the quest they find themselves on through Lucifer Morningstar's (that's Satan to you, remember he is a fallen angel) inattention to keeping tabs on his minions.How the author blends in man's different mythologies (don't worry he explains them, to those readers who don't know them) is amazing. HOW did he think all this stuff UP?

This book is NOT about today's religions (ok, maybe some snarky asides are), but how mis-conceptions and our personal history can result in literal calamity, and how our true inner goodness (there is a little angel in everybody) tells more about us than we realize.  Please Michael, make your next book as fun to read as this one was! I laughed my way through it just about every page! This is a book you will WANT to be passing around, and then re-reading.

And now for the part you really want to hear about, right? LOL

Perfect Edge Books was founded in late 2011 to unite authors whose books weren't "obviously" commercial. Our books tend to sit in various genres all at once: literary fiction, satire, neo-noir, sci-fi, experimental prose. We believe that literary doesn't have to mean difficult, and that difficult doesn't just mean pointless. We prefer to cultivate a word- of-mouth approach to marketing, and keep production as simple as we can. Learn more at www.PerfectEdgeBooks.com.
