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 Infinite Mystery

The Infinite Mystery

A generation's mighty and most powerful expert died mysteriously and reincarnated without any memories on a small planet far away from the Cultivation World. This small planet was earth. Five thousand years ago, a great calamity descended on earth. Countless Spatial Cracks appeared in the sky and beasts invaded. After hundreds of years of fighting, humans discovered they could awaken a battle spirit that can help them raise their strength and grant them the abilities that were simply unimaginable for humans before. Qin Feng also awakens his battle spirit but unfortunately, it was swallowed by his own birthmark, The Infinity Symbol. This was just the beginning of the mysteries that surrounded him like invisible specks of dust. He soon discovered that the 'Infinity Symbol' was actually not his birthmark but something mysterious from another world. The Infinity Symbol helped him awaken a Divine Battle Spirit and granted him a Nameless Cultivation Technique that was beyond the world's limit. He also discovered that he could not die! Every time, he was killed, he returned back in time with the memories of what is going to happen in the future. Soon after awakening the Divine Battle Spirit, a mysterious beautiful lady stepped into his life and told him that he does not belong to the earth. He was actually the reincarnation of someone called 'KING'. The mysteries that surrounded him like the invisible specks of dust started to come on the surface from the day of his awakening, revealing many secrets to him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are some grammatical errors so please ignore them and enjoy the story.

What makes quirky mystery novels so appealing?
Quirky mystery novels are appealing because they break the mold. They often have unusual settings, like in 'The Eyre Affair' where it's a world obsessed with literature. The characters are also not your typical detectives. For example, in 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency', the detective is a woman in Botswana, and her approach to solving mysteries is based on her local knowledge and common sense. These novels offer a fresh take on the mystery genre.

Can you recommend some quirky mystery novels?
Sure. 'The Westing Game' by Ellen Raskin is a classic quirky mystery. A group of people are brought together to solve the mystery of Sam Westing's will. There are all sorts of strange characters and clues. Then there's 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. It has a really twisty plot that keeps you guessing. The characters are complex and the mystery is full of unexpected turns. Also, 'Crooked House' by Agatha Christie is a bit different from her other works. It has a rather strange family dynamic and a very interesting mystery to solve.

What are some popular quirky fantasy novels?
A few well - known quirky fantasy novels are 'The Phantom Tollbooth' by Norton Juster. It's a journey through a world of words and numbers where the main character has to solve various puzzles. 'Howl's Moving Castle' by Diana Wynne Jones. The concept of a castle that moves around on its own legs and the complex characters within it, like the wizard Howl, make it a really interesting and off - beat fantasy. 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' by Susanna Clarke is set in a world where magic returns to England in a rather strange and political way.

Best Quirky Romance Novels: Your Recommendations?
I also recommend 'Attachments' by Rainbow Rowell. It's set in the late 90s in an office where the IT guy, Lincoln, is tasked with monitoring the employees' emails for inappropriate use. He ends up falling for two of his female colleagues through reading their exchanges, without them knowing. It has a really sweet and quirky plot with a lot of charm.
