Absolute Awakening by Angel Allendale  

About Absolute Awakening by Angel Allendale:

Absolute Awakening is an epic science fiction/fantasy novel that unleashes Kýrie Kylkynne, a free-spirited teenager whose mind whirls against firecracker mood shifts while she thwarts the expectations of the Inner Universe of Aalenstar. A drug reaped from the soul of a mortal has corrupted the traditional rituals for obtaining magical power. Tasting the Catalyst drug is intensely empowering, gifting unparalleled skills more quickly than legitimate discipline, but with dangerous and unpredictable mastery. The drug strips the Taster of their moral compass, enslaving them to one of the deadly sins, including despair, forcing them to wrestle with the volatile reality of sin and virtue. The Crep Systeme of magicians dominates the production of this drug through the transgalaxy SoulTrade. Their strategic economic, political, and social systems are constantly entangled with the ruling Falcon Agency warrior scholars who protect the interests of planets and peoples across the universe.

Kýrie awakens to her true identity when the universe realizes what a powerful sorceress she can become. She recklessly endangers herself to pursue answers, a badass girl with bigass dreams. She hides her turbulent mental demons, though they embolden and jeopardize her every move. The Falcon Agency seeks her allegiance as they search multiple star systems for the underwater centers where the drug is created, seeking to annihilate its destructive influence.

Dragons breathe mystery beyond the path of starships, Time Trappers plunge into the space-time fabric, and assassins infiltrate all sides. Kýrie is too smart to obey blindly, as the Crep Empress beckons and the FalconLeaders command, but she is also too audacious to avoid mischief in the stars and the greater allure to Taste the treacherous drug.

Author Bio:
Angel Allendale builds rockets and revelry with dozens of cousins under desert stars. She longboards with her Siberian Husky in the Arizona sun between wanderlust travels. Her lived experience with bipolar disorder impassions her to write the beauty and battles of the world around her. She believes in Passion and Compassion to conquer all.

There is a mental health advocacy component in Angel’s novels. Characters battle their own psyche; as the loss of one’s precious mind is the worst tragedy that a person can suffer. Angel came to this realization through her own trials and triumphs with mental illness. Her intellect was her comforting best friend while growing up, constantly driven by the ravenous need for new knowledge and the idea that she could overcome anything with the support of her mind. She found experts of insight, devouring Kant, Confucius, Jung, Descartes, Rumi, and Voltaire. Unfortunately, through her Bipolar Disorder, she frequently experiences the loss of her mind. The Purgatory that greets her is a mind-numbing, bone-rattling, stark defiance of reality. Angel replicates this struggle within her main characters as a way to push the reader’s perceptions of themselves in new directions, as well as seeking to eliminate the stigma around those who are assailed by similar demons.

It is important to Angel that mental health issues be addressed. She supports the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the largest grassroots organization to address Neurological, Mental Illness, and Substance Abuse issues across the United States. She is currently the Poet Laureate for the NAMI Southern Arizona chapter. Cultural competency is imperative when dealing with matters of the psyche. She has helped create programs that focus on sex, drugs, social, academic, and mental well-being with low socio-economic status Native Americans on reservations in Arizona. She has worked with juvenile sex offenders who exhibit co-morbidity with alcohol and drug abuse in lock-down residential homes. She has worked with HEROIC, a student run non-profit in bordertown Arizona, to establish medical clinics and schools for orphans within their impoverished communities. While studying abroad in Morocco, Angel worked in a Centre D’Écoute, a “Listening Center” for domestically abused women and girls where she helped provide therapeutic lessons and safety for these women from their families and the societal pressures of their religion. Angel works with intensive initaitives focused on development entrepreneurship in East Africa to confront the baffling cycle of poverty in innovative ways. Her discoveries in multiple cultures provides unique flavor to her writing, including an adept use of different languages.

As a holistic soccer trainer, she helps young athletes focus on their mind, body, and soul while programming their bodies to be elite performance machines.

These work experiences have touched Angel in innumerable ways. There is inspiration in the despair and muses found within the mysteries of these diverse cultures. Having worked with youths so significantly, Angel can offer a realistic voice to struggling young adults, as well as all those who have lived experiences with mental illness.

Author Bio:
Who am I…?
I published my first book in elementary-Mystery of the Missing Tabby. The school library still has it, as far as I know. That was my first real work, and writing became priceless to me over the next years. In Jr. High, I had a teacher tell our class that none of us could match the classic authors that we would be studying. We weren’t good enough. I took that to heart and turned in an A- paper with a rookie mistake that prevented me from getting the respect I wanted from that lady. I hated it that she was right. I still do. I also adore her for waking my brain to the possibility that someday I could be as good as one of the iconic writers that helped frame the world of literature. I’ll never know if she did it intentionally or if she was just stating a fact, but it worked for me. I’ve never wanted to do anything else. Thanks to that drive, the fire she finished waking, I now live off my writing and run my own publishing company. I have more than a dozen novels out and thousands of fans. I have a long way to go before future children study me in schools, but I’m still just as hot for it now as I was in that stuffy, musty classroom in 7th grade.
So, that’s who I am. I am building, and living, the American dream. Who are you and what have you done?
That’s a hard question to answer if you’re still trying to get there. I understand. Here’s some free advice: Follow your dreams, even when the world says it’s crazy. Sometimes, you’ll find a life that satisfies you more than you ever thought was possible and it has nothing to do with cash or fame. Chase that, starting right now, and the next time someone asks who you are; tell them you’re an immovable force, a wild dreamer, a hopeful comet shooting toward the goals that orbit your existence. And then lift your chin. There aren’t many of us left who want to be good at what we do. Everyone else just wants that green shit.

Author Bio:
Someone asked me why I wrote The Deadly Caress. It’s what captured my attention at one time from a newspaper article and I started to get the what if’s going. What if a person was to discover that the woman she thought was her mother wasn’t. How would she feel? What if this mother was murdered? What would this person do?

Then there’s a scary scene with Amanda driving down a mountainside and that comes from my memory banks. I grew up across the road from a very bad intersection and every weekend there would be at least one horrific accident. Some of these were youths speeding or chasing each other. Others were drunks or drivers who had miscalculated the sharp turn and careered into an oncoming car or the nearby light post. My dad would run over to see if an ambulance needed to be called as we were the only family in the street to have a phone. He’d take blankets over if the person/people was badly injured and I would help him. My sister and my mother would be too upset to be of help and didn’t go.

Once a car overtook another and miscalculated. He caught the side of the vehicle and the side panel was peeled away like a giant orange peel. This I have included in one of my scenes.

I find my characters everywhere.
