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.

What are some of the best classic satire novels?
A really good classic satire novel is 'Candide' by Voltaire. It satirizes the philosophical optimism of the time, showing the harshness of the real world through the naive Candide's travels. 'A Modest Proposal' by Jonathan Swift is also notable. In this short but powerful work, Swift sarcastically proposes that the Irish should sell their children as food to solve their economic problems, which is really a scathing satire on the English treatment of Ireland. And 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde can be considered a satire on the aesthetic movement and the pursuit of pleasure at all costs.

Examples of Effective Satire Quotes in Classic Novels
Charles Dickens in 'Great Expectations' has some good satire. The character of Miss Havisham, with her decaying mansion and her warped view of love, is satirized through quotes like 'I'll tell you what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self - humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter - as I did!' This satirizes the extreme and often self - destructive nature of some forms of love and the delusions that can come with it.
