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.

One of the best is 'The Three Musketeers' by Alexandre Dumas. It's set in 17th - century France and follows the adventures of d'Artagnan and his musketeer friends. It's full of sword fights, political intrigue, and honor - bound quests. Another great one is 'Sharpe' series by Bernard Cornwell. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, it features Richard Sharpe, a rifleman who rises through the ranks. His battles and personal growth make for exciting reads. Then there's 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett which, while also about the building of a cathedral, has plenty of action in the historical context of 12th - century England, including battles, sieges and power struggles.

Definitely. 'North and South' by Elizabeth Gaskell is a historical fiction with action elements. It shows the contrast between the industrial north and the rural south in England during the Victorian era, and also has some intense scenes of social unrest and factory strikes. 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel is another good one. It focuses on the life of Thomas Cromwell during the reign of Henry VIII, with court intrigues and power struggles that are full of action. And 'The Clan of the Cave Bear' by Jean M. Auel, set in prehistoric times, has a lot of action as the main character, Ayla, tries to survive and adapt in a world full of danger.

I would recommend 'Gates of Fire' by Steven Pressfield. It tells the story of the Battle of Thermopylae in a vivid and engaging way. Then there's 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco. It combines mystery and action in a medieval monastery setting. 'The Killer Angels' by Michael Shaara is also excellent. It's about the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, and really brings the battle and the characters to life.
