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.

The Villainess Winning Back Her Beast Husbands

The Villainess Winning Back Her Beast Husbands

【Strong Female Lead + Multiple Male Leads + Intense Male Competition + All Male Leads are Clean】 Evangeline transmigrated into The Virago, the number one villainess in The Beast World, who didn't love handsome men, but only the "treasures" on their bodies. Under the original owner's carefully woven sweet words, the Merfolk Beast Husband had his tail severed to be made into a Mermaid Tail Skirt, only to be carelessly discarded after the rainy season. The Goldeagle Beast Husband had his Feather Wings broken to be made into a feather quilt, which was sold at a trading fair for supplies after the Cold Season. The Snake Clan Beast Husband had his Beast Crystal dug out to be made into a necklace, and was casually given away to her 'sisters' once the novelty wore off... The Beastmen were left maimed, their lifespans greatly reduced, their Star Patterns shattered, and they lost the ability to transform into their beast forms, unable to bear offspring anymore. All seven male leads were rendered sterile, sharpening their knives, vowing to slaughter her. The small world was on the verge of collapse. Heavy rains, floods, blizzards, wildfires, acid rain, insect plagues... followed one after another. * Merfolk Beast Husband Danton glared angrily: "Evangeline, your actions make me sick to my stomach!" Snake Clan Beast Husband Thorne was filled with killing intent: "I will dig three feet deep into the ground to find Evangeline and kill her, at any cost!" Goldeagle Beast Husband Drake made a ruthless declaration: "Evangeline, whether to the heavens above or the earth below, I will ensure you have nowhere to run!" ... “Ding ding ding, dang dang dang” “Dear Host, your happy retirement life begins now!” Evangeline looked at the mess before her, weighed the reality of the situation, and sneered, "If you're going to put it that way, then I'm going to turn on my cheats!"

Interstellar Beast World: Winning the Villain’s Heart with Cubs

Interstellar Beast World: Winning the Villain’s Heart with Cubs

Yue Yue was once the precious White Jade Snake female of her primitive beast world. She was pampered, adored female and practically treated like a rare treasure. But the moment she opens her eyes… BAM! Her home was gone, the forest was gone, and there were no familiar beastmen running around half-naked. Instead... People are flying in the sky without wings. People are talking to glowing bracelets. People are living in giant metal buildings that look like angry mountains. Yue Yue wants to go home immediately. Unfortunately, fate laughs in her face. She finds out she has actually transmigrated… and not as some powerful heroine, but as an F-level female who is infertile and has F-level spiritual healing, basically treated like a useless accessory that can be thrown away anytime. From “Most Cherished Treasure of the City”...to “Garbage Female.” What kind of karmic debt is this!? Just when she’s ready to sit down and cry, a cold mechanical ding! rings in her head. A system? Yes, she got a system...but not the good kind. This system wants her to save villainous beastmen, the ones who are on the path to becoming degenerated, uncontrollable monsters. They are cruel, bloodthirsty, evil, and absolutely the last people she wants to babysit. Even worse, she only survives by completing the system’s ridiculous tasks. Yue Yue’s reaction: “I’m a snake, I only know how to slither! Why me?!” Now she must fight for survival, cure villains, avoid getting eaten by polluted beasts, and somehow prevent the interstellar world from collapsing...all while trying to figure out how this bizarre place works. A useless female? A forgotten character? Ha! Watch Yue Yue shake the entire galaxy. ~ Excerpt: Yue Yue didn’t know what was happening. One moment she was quietly trying to escape from this strange place, but suddenly a huge shadow appeared in front of her. A very big, very long, very black shadow. She slowly looked up...and her soul almost flew out of her body. A giant winged serpent hovered above her; its scales were darker than night, and its violet-black eyes swirled as if they could swallow the world. Its wings beat once, sending a blast of wind that nearly threw her off her feet. Before she could slither away, The snake hissed at her. His stare was so intense she felt like her tiny snake heart stopped beating. Her voice came out shaking, trembling and almost squeaking, “B-Brother… we’re the same species, okay? C-Cannibalism is… very bad. Very, VERY bad!” The serpent blinked. Then, right in front of her eyes, his massive body shrank, twisted, and transformed into a dangerously handsome beastman. A very tall, black-haired, violet-eyed, and exuding the full aura of “I can kill you with a glance.” Yue Yue gulped. He looked down at her and picked her up. It is as if she were a fruit he found on sale. “What are you doing?! Put me down! I’m not edible!” He didn’t even respond. He simply opened the pocket on his strange suit...and dropped her in. Yue Yue flailed inside like a trapped dumpling. “W-Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Am I being kidnapped!?” Her life was over. She had officially been abducted by a psychopath serpent in human clothing.
