best octavia butler 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.

In a world where the chosen one has defeated the demon lord and brought peace to the realm, now 500 years have passed since the demon's defeat. Aetheria, the world, appears peaceful, but is it truly so?

Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~

Als Belle mehrere Stunden vor Morgengrauen aus einem Albtraum aufwachte, holte sie sich ein Glas Wasser. Sie hielt vor dem Fenster ihrer Küche inne, als sie eine brennende Laterne vor dem Garten ihres Herrenhauses bemerkte. Ihr Butler stand dort mit einer Schaufel in der Hand. Dies war keine Stunde zum Gärtnern. Neugierig machte sie sich nach draußen, aber als sie nah genug herangekommen war, um eine große und tiefe Grube neben ihrem ewig stoischen und höflichen Butler zu sehen, sah sie, wie er einen verwesten Körper aufhob. EINE LEICHE! Ihre Augen weiteten sich ängstlich, als sie ihren gutaussehenden Butler sah, wie er den verwesenden Körper in das frische Loch warf. Sie fragte entsetzt: "Was tust du da?!" Überrascht, seine junge Herrin zu dieser Stunde wach zu sehen, starrte er sie mit demselben Gesichtsausdruck an, den er all die Jahre beibehalten hatte. Er hatte sichergestellt, dass sie schlief, bevor er hierherkam. "Gärtnern." "Und die Leiche?!", schaute sie ihn ungläubig an. "Dünger", antwortete er ihr, bevor er die Schaufel aufhob, die auf dem Boden lag. Belle war jetzt sicher, dass etwas von ihrem Butler Besitz ergriffen hatte. Wer vergrub schon Leichen als Gartenpflanze?! Dann hörte sie ihn fragen: "Möchten Sie mir beim Einpflanzen helfen, Fräulein Adams?" Er schenkte ihr ein süßes Lächeln. Hinweis: Wenn Sie ein Buch mit Komödie, leichtherziger Romanze und einem gotischen Hintergrund genießen. Dieses Buch ist für Sie~

What was my name again? I suppose it doesn’t matter anymore, after all, I already left that life behind. Now, I dedicate my entire being to serving the Villainess. Everything else is secondary. *** A Sociopath, that was the only correct way to describe him. On Earth, he lived as a quiet observer, one whose days lacked meaning. Until he found her. A side character at first, then the final villainess of a cliché fantasy manhwa and thus, his obsession was born. After a sequence of strange events led to him being hit by a truck.... He died. But in these type of stories, death was rarely ever the end. When he opened his eyes again, it was not to heaven nor hell, but to a familiar world, one that had remained only in pages. But he didn't awaken as the hero, Villain or even a helpful side character. Instead, he was reborn as a butler, one that died even before the story began, and meant to serve Renelle Ardent. The woman destined to descend into villainy, to be cast aside by society, and to die beneath the weight of her own obsession. But this time, she would not stand alone. Just one tiny difference though... The Villainess is not following the script

Wie war noch mal mein Name? Ich schätze, das spielt keine Rolle mehr, schließlich habe ich dieses Leben bereits hinter mir gelassen. Jetzt widme ich mein ganzes Sein dem Dienst an der Schurkin. Alles andere ist zweitrangig. *** Ein Soziopath, das war die einzig richtige Beschreibung für ihn. Auf der Erde lebte er als stiller Beobachter, dessen Tage ohne Bedeutung waren. Bis er sie fand. Zuerst eine Nebenfigur, dann die finale Schurkin eines klischeehaften Fantasy-Manhwas, und so wurde seine Besessenheit geboren. Nach einer Reihe seltsamer Ereignisse, die dazu führten, dass er von einem Lastwagen erfasst wurde ... starb er. Aber in dieser Art von Geschichten war der Tod selten das Ende. Als er seine Augen wieder öffnete, befand er sich weder im Himmel noch in der Hölle, sondern in einer vertrauten Welt, die bisher nur auf den Seiten existiert hatte. Aber er erwachte nicht als Held, Schurke oder gar als hilfreiche Nebenfigur. Stattdessen wurde er als Butler wiedergeboren, einer, der noch vor Beginn der Geschichte starb und dazu bestimmt war, Renelle Ardent zu dienen. Die Frau, die dazu bestimmt war, zur Schurkin zu werden, von der Gesellschaft verstoßen zu werden und unter der Last ihrer eigenen Besessenheit zu sterben. Aber dieses Mal würde sie nicht allein sein. Nur ein winziger Unterschied allerdings ... Die Schurkin hält sich nicht an das Drehbuch -----------
