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.

THE CRONICLE OF THE VAMPIRE LORD AND CHINESE IMMORTAL

THE CRONICLE OF THE VAMPIRE LORD AND CHINESE IMMORTAL

A romantic-comedy action saga of eternal love, endless reincarnation, and two immortals who refuse to give up. For thousands of years, a woman named Elara has been trapped in a cruel celestial curse: Every time she dies, she is reborn— in a new body, a new life, a new era… but never free. Across 47 reincarnations, two immortal beings have chased her through history: Aldren The sharp-tongued, dramatic Vampire Lord, master of blood arts, world-class overthinker, and hopeless romantic who burns kitchens when trying to impress her. Li Wusheng The stoic, ancient Chinese Immortal, cultivator of the Heavenly Dao, socially awkward around modern humans, and eternally calm—except when Aldren exists. They are rivals. They are enemies. They are in love with the same woman. And they have been fighting for her for millennia. Elara’s 47 Lives Princess. Pirate queen. Imperial medic. Vampire bride. Every lifetime reveals a new side of her… and another tragic end. Haunted by dreams she can’t understand, Elara slowly regains her memories— and along with them, the emotional weight of every love, loss, and death she once endured. Her two immortals do everything to win her heart: Competing in martial duels Destroying cities by accident Fighting sky demons at 3AM Arguing in parking lots Attempting romantic gestures that go terribly wrong All while Elara tries to survive her newest reincarnation. The Truth of the Curse Elara is not cursed because of love. She is cursed because she is the Eternal Core— the reincarnation engine that sustains the realms. If she stops reincarnating… existence collapses. A celestial deity seeks to reclaim her power. Aldren and Li are forced into an uneasy alliance to protect her. For the first time in history, the three stand together. The Final Battle and a New Beginning When the deity attacks Earth, Elara unleashes memories of all her past selves. She saves the realms— but her soul shatters once more. Reincarnation #48 begins somewhere in the modern world. Aldren and Li swear to find her again. Their rivalry reignites instantly: “I’ll find her first!” “Your senses are inferior.” “You outdated bamboo-stick monk—!” “You overdramatic bat—!” And somewhere in the city, a teenage girl looks up at the sky, unknowingly waiting for chaos to enter her life again. Thus continues the eternal chase: A comedy of immortals, a romance spanning ages, and a destiny that refuses to end.
