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.

Well, 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan is among the top WWII period novels. It not only shows the impact of the war on individuals but also explores themes of guilt and redemption. Then there's 'The Winds of War' by Herman Wouk. This novel gives a comprehensive view of the events leading up to and during the war. And don't forget 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah, which focuses on two sisters in France during the German occupation.

For me, 'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison is among the best post - WWII novels. It deals with issues of race, identity, and the search for self - worth in a society that was still grappling with the after - effects of the war. Also, 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck, though it was written during the Great Depression, its themes of poverty, struggle, and the human spirit were still very relevant in the post - WWII era. It shows the plight of the common people and their fight for survival.

Definitely 'Suite Française' by Irène Némirovsky. It's a remarkable work as Némirovsky was writing about the German occupation of France while she was living through it. 'Empire of the Sun' by J.G. Ballard is also a great read. It tells the story of a young boy's experiences in a Japanese internment camp during WWII. And 'The Longest Day' by Cornelius Ryan, which gives a detailed account of the D - Day invasion.

A third excellent WWII novel is 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut. It's a semi - autobiographical novel that combines elements of science fiction and historical fiction. Vonnegut uses his unique style to explore the senselessness of war and the chaos of life.

On the Goodreads list of WWII novels, 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' is a charming one. It shows how books and literature can bring people together even in the difficult times of the war. 'Code Name Verity' is another remarkable novel. It delves into the world of female spies during WWII. And 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman is a unique graphic novel that tells the story of the Holocaust in a very different and impactful way.
