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 makes humorous science fiction novels so popular?
One reason is that they offer a break from the more serious and often complex traditional science - fiction. People can enjoy the imaginative concepts like time travel or alien encounters but with a comical twist. For example, in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', the way the universe is presented in such a zany way makes it appealing. It's like having a laugh while still exploring big ideas.

What makes humorous science fiction so appealing?
Humorous science - fiction allows for a lot of creativity. Writers can create crazy worlds and situations that would be too out - there in a more serious genre. It gives them the freedom to play with ideas. Take 'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension' for example. It has a mix of humor, action, and wild science - fiction ideas. The humor makes the audience more accepting of the strange concepts like interdimensional travel. It's a way to have fun with science - fiction and not be too bogged down by the hard science or serious themes.
