Can Quayla stop the Fallen without dying the Final Death?

Let's explore the options....
Welcome to Delirious Scribbles, my official website. I'm a traditionally and independently published USA Today best-selling cross genre author. I write almost every day, splitting my time across multiple series and many genres. You'll soon learn I love writing (scribbling) and cooking and a host of other things. Throughout this site you'll find stuff about all of it.
Since a writer's life is in itself something of a living anthology, it makes a static website difficult to achieve. So as I muck about with my spare moments, I might break things, move them or otherwise encourage a little joyous chaos. Please be patient, revisions are the heart and soul of good writing. I hope you enjoy your time here and be encouraged to reach out to me here or on social media. Now on with the show....
Greetings Program!
I'm Michael J. Allen
[Also teasingly known as The Delirious Scribbler.]
“Immersed and emotionally involved...”
I love how you can get so immersed and emotionally involved with the stories and characters. Don’t have a favorite [book] because I’m constantly hoping he will come out with more that keeps me engrossed. But if I have to pick, it’s the Blood Phoenix Chronicles. I again don't have a favorite [character] because I’m emotional involved with the characters but again if I have to choose its Quayla because it’s the first book and series I read from Michael Allen so it’s the one that’s closest to my heart.
“Beautifully Frustrating”
I met Michael as a part of a tabletop gaming group. After a few sessions, it was easy to appreciate his wit and attention to the minutia. Having been on the dangerous end of his aggressive gaming methods and roleplaying, I decided to give his Bittergate series a try. I wasn't disappointed. I found the things I appreciated in his gaming flowed effortlessly into his writings. The Bittergate series is an interesting new approach to a often formulaic genre, it puts the fantastic just below the surface of everyday life, as if you could almost catch a glimpse of it if you just glanced a little quicker. I can't really answer this one [which characters are my favorite] until the series is complete. There is something about each character that you can identify with and just as you start to really love or hate one, here comes a new bit of information that makes you reconsider your opinion. Beautifully frustrating and engaging. Now I just need the next book......
