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.

Darwin and Joshua's adventures are well written and entertaining. This is written like Douglas Adam's and Dashiell Hammett had a love child and it is J.G.M. Daw. Well worth the read! I am looking forward to more adventures from the Finderverse.

I love this novel as it doesn't follow the same cliche story tropes that we found in most web novel platforms. It is opened with betrayal and I love the way the author depict the work realm that Trisha and Dashiell was in, with a hint of comedy and suspense. I am curious how their story leads them into marriage in convenience. More chapters please

The daily life of opening a dessert shop in the galaxy

Text: There was a dessert shop right opposite the Treasure Island of the galactic garbage disposal station. Wen Xun felt that it must be the best dessert shop she had ever eaten. The manager was a good-looking man with a weird temper, and the part-time shop assistant was an internet-addicted girl who only knew how to use the heater in the shop and not work. Missy X, Half Bio-Human, Black-bellied Male Lead Also known as "On How a Chef Overwhelms Pirates","I'm in my twenties, I'm tired, I'm dancing in the kitchen," and "What made the daughter of the former Chancellor of the Exchanges serve tea and water to be the woman behind the successful chef?" "What else can you do other than surfing the internet here?" Xu Zhili put his hands on his hips and gritted his teeth. "I'm going to the garbage dump next door to pick up trash." Wen Xun is righteous and has no sense of guilt Reading Guide: 1. An empty world view. If there is any similarity, it will be a coincidence! 2. The author's reasoning is terrible. Basically, he doesn't have overly complicated reasoning (in fact, he can't write it). There may be loopholes in his logic. Please spit it out. 3 double C's, the plot is generally easy without abuse
