Hayle Coven Novels

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Can you recommend some quirky spy novels?
Yes. 'The Eiger Sanction' by Trevanian is quite quirky. It combines mountaineering and spying in a really unique way. The main character is an art professor who is also a retired assassin and gets drawn back into the world of espionage. It has a lot of action and some really strange characters. Then there's 'The Day of the Jackal' by Frederick Forsyth. While it's a more traditional spy thriller in some ways, the meticulous planning of the assassin (the Jackal) and the cat - and - mouse game with the police makes it stand out and gives it a touch of quirkiness.

What makes a spy novel 'quirky'?
A spy novel can be quirky when it plays with the genre's conventions. If it has a comical tone instead of the serious, brooding atmosphere often associated with spy stories. For instance, making fun of the cliched spy gadgets or the over - the - top villains. Also, if the narrative structure is different. Maybe it jumps back and forth in time in a really disorienting but interesting way. And when the motivation of the characters is not the typical 'save the world' or 'defend the country' but something more personal or strange, like a spy who is on a mission just to get revenge on a former partner who stole his favorite coffee mug.

What are some popular quirky fantasy novels?
A few well - known quirky fantasy novels are 'The Phantom Tollbooth' by Norton Juster. It's a journey through a world of words and numbers where the main character has to solve various puzzles. 'Howl's Moving Castle' by Diana Wynne Jones. The concept of a castle that moves around on its own legs and the complex characters within it, like the wizard Howl, make it a really interesting and off - beat fantasy. 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' by Susanna Clarke is set in a world where magic returns to England in a rather strange and political way.

Best Quirky Romance Novels: Your Recommendations?
I also recommend 'Attachments' by Rainbow Rowell. It's set in the late 90s in an office where the IT guy, Lincoln, is tasked with monitoring the employees' emails for inappropriate use. He ends up falling for two of his female colleagues through reading their exchanges, without them knowing. It has a really sweet and quirky plot with a lot of charm.
