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.

Though the story starts in America, it also visits China, Europe, Africa, and other areas of the world later on. -------------------------------------------------- Note from author: This novel was the winner of the Steampunk writing contest.

Steam - powered technology is a major characteristic. Think of things like steam - powered automatons, airships with steam engines, and huge mechanical contraptions that are often used in both daily life and in warfare within the story. Also, the fashion in classic steampunk novels usually combines Victorian - style clothing with elements of industrial gear, like goggles and leather aprons.

One of the best is 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells. It features a time - traveling inventor in a Victorian - era setting which has elements of steampunk.

The most classic steampunk novel recommendation
Lord of the Mysteries and Lord of the Secret Sorcerers were two classic steampunk novels. Lord of the Mysteries constructed a bizarre world of the steampunk style of the Victoria, and the 22 God Sequences were amazing. The setting, plot, and background of the novel were huge, realistic, and complicated. The main character and supporting characters were all portrayed in detail. " Master of the Secret Sorcerers " was set in the modern era of Victoria and described a world where reiki was recovering. Both novels were recommended as wonderful steampunk works.

Can you recommend some best classic steampunk novels for beginners?
For beginners, I'd suggest 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. It has a lot of well - known characters from classic literature, which makes it easier to get into. The steampunk elements, like the cool gadgets and the alternate Victorian London, are really fun to explore. Also, 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' is a good choice. It's a short read and the exploration of the duality of human nature in a somewhat steampunk - ish Victorian setting can be quite interesting for those new to the genre.

Steampunk novels recommended
There are a few steampunk novels that I can recommend. The first book was Extraordinary Dawn, written by a plagiarist. This novel told the story of the main character, Thulhu Botelli, who had transmigrated to a steampunk world. He used the system to add points to accumulate power to face the arrival of the Dawn of the Gods. The second book was " The Age of Steam 1886 " by Sasaki. This novel described an era where science and technology flourished. Humans began to conquer nature, and at the same time, there was a hidden dark world that ordinary people could not understand. The third book was Lord of the Mysteries, written by Squid Who Loves to Dive. This novel was a steampunk + Cthulhu theme. It told the story of the protagonist's soul transmigrating into the world of supernatural powers and steampunk, revealing the secret behind supernatural powers by investigating the suicide. These novels had unique technological creativity and a slightly dark and decadent worldview, suitable for readers who liked steampunk.

The steampunk novels of the Victoria
" The First Crow of the Wilderness " was a Xianxia novel written by One Leaf Gold. The male lead was Wu Tian. This was the new book by the author of " The Rock of Primitive Land ". It was like a seedling, but the author was reliable. The opening was well written. The story was about a rookie in the villain camp having all kinds of fun and chaos. Some people thought it was exciting and didn't take the usual path, while others thought that the updates weren't good enough. " The Mysterious World Under Steampunk " was a fantasy novel written by Mr. Jiucheng. The main character was a Bio-Human who had transmigrated into the Steampunk world. It was Cthulhu style, similar to the sorcerer world. The old author's new book was difficult to read in the early stages, but it gradually improved. The logic was self-consistent and the world was constructed with great effort. It was a recent fantasy novel, but it was a little thin and the updates were not very good. Steel Steam and Flame, a fantasy novel written by Shu Lan. Steampunk style, the main character Cassia, etc. The writing style was good but slow. It had a unique steampunk feel to it. The world was realistic and the descriptions were detailed. However, it was a little slow to heat up and the plot progressed slowly. I Became the Master of an Immortal Sect, a Xianxia novel written by Sword Immortal Yunshang. It was a story about transmigrating to become the sect leader of an immortal cultivation sect. He planted spirit herbs, refined pills, and tamed beasts to make the sect stronger. The Starry Sky Professional was a science fiction novel written by a plagiarist. The main character Fang Xing had transmigrated to the Interstellar Era and relied on the professional interface to do whatever he wanted in different worlds. A plagiarist's book was guaranteed to have a lower limit. The early stages of the book were good, but there were problems with water flooding and slow pace in the later stages. However, the overall plot was smooth and there were few poisonous points. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
