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.

S.P.E.C.T.O.R - [A Sci-fi space adventure with fantasy elements]

S.P.E.C.T.O.R - [A Sci-fi space adventure with fantasy elements]

Adam was having a great time camping in the woods with his girlfriend until they were suddenly attacked. During the attack, his girlfriend was shot while he was thrown from a cliff. Unconscious and on the verge of death, an android appeared before taking him to a spaceship, Spector, which healed him up. Now this Spector wants him to be its operator, so that they can leave Earth. But before that, he needs to settle the grudge he has against those who attacked him and killed his girlfriend. Armed with advanced technology, Adam hunts them down before heading out to explore the universe. Strangely, though, he has to do all this and more while livestreaming to the whole universe. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Schedule: Daily. This story is also available on RoyalRoad, Webnovel and Patreon. Access 50+ chapters on Patreon.com/Sweeps083 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/D2FWBPA3yc ------------------------------------------------------------------- I plan to use the usernames of readers who leave comments as some of the livestream viewers in the novel, so if you want to be included, leave a comment. Also, add what planet you would like to be from and if you would rather your viewer be pro MC or against the MC, or maybe you just want to see the universe burn. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Regardless of space years, temporal incidents, appearances, and mentality, all individuals in this story are over 18+. Sexual content, while not the primary focus of this novel, is a part of it. The warnings listed below are in the chapter titles that have sexual content. * = Minor sexual content. ** = Around 1/2 of the chapter has sexual content. *** = Over 3/4 of the chapter has sexual content. This novel also contains Yuri elements. While there is technically a possible harem member who has a futa, I have already thought of a way around it, so there will be no futas in the harem.
