Ebook by Angus BrownfieldTraditional cosmology turns upside down in Angus Brownfields' fable about degrees of good and evil among humans. Told in multiple voices—human, angelic and demonic— An Angel at Satan's Ball begins when the Almighty bets Satan that His distinguished angel Ulysses can’t be inveigled by his fallen son’s craftiest hunter, Semyaza. As Semyaza attempts to bring down Ulysses by attacking his love, the human Sarafina, all must struggle between their own literal and figurative heavens and hells as they learn of fate, love and sacrifice. About theAuthor Angus Brownfield was born in Iola, Kansas, in 1937. His place of birth was an accident, as his mother was visiting an old friend when he decided to emerge. Fortunately, the friend's husband had delivered Angus's four older siblings, and his debut was without incident. Born in the second dip of the Great Depression, Angus and his family went where they had to in order to survive. Thus his first memories are of midwestern cities and midwestern values. Although schooled in English literature at the University of California, Berkeley, he strayed into public health and medical care planning, authoring businesslike research proposals and long-range plans that molder in the archives of various bureaucracies. In 1986 he shifted gears and began writing fiction. In 2011 several novels conceived in the late eighties and early nineties emerged from long gestation as ebooks. The productivity continues with An Angel at Satan's Ball (2013) and, scheduled for early 2014, Bread to the Wise. Angus currently lives and writes in the Rogue Valley, Oregon.
