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.

Hi, your novel is currently listed on Johnny Payne (the author)'s Goodreads profile. Did you add it there, and if so could you please remove it? I'm assuming you want it on your own Goodreads profile. (I am Johnny Payne's son.)

I really am a necromancer

After transmigrating to the Sorcerers World, Yihua became a Level 1 Necromancer Apprentice with extremely poor aptitude. He had thought that it would be the beginning of hell, but he did not expect that he would be able to obtain merit from punishing evil and helping others. Doing bad things would not deduct merit points, but doing good things would definitely be rewarded! As long as he did 100 million good deeds every day and accumulated merit and karma, he could speed up his cultivation progress and even directly break through! Even the lowest-level acolyte cantrip, Light Treatment, would have terrifying power if it was broken through endlessly. " However, why is there something wrong with the phototherapy technique after the breakthrough?" He watched as the entire world's people were illuminated by the advanced version of the light therapy spell, the world-class Great Holy Light Spell. The sinful people wept bitterly and committed suicide one after another, while the kind people knelt on the ground in gratitude and swore to follow him to the death. Feeling the increasing merit points, Yi Hua took over the rule of this world with the Holy Light Undead Army that was loyal to her and muttered in her heart," " I'm clearly a necromancer who plays with souls and does all kinds of evil. How did I become the savior in the eyes of several worlds?" ------ Elements included: Undead, Strange, Farming, Holy Light Undead, Power Management, Cthulhu, Melee Sorcerers, Sorcerer Civilization, World War.

A long whip is a good sword

Before she took off her mask, her male god would spar with her every day, and she would be tortured to death under his clothes every day. Of course, she was ranked fourth on the leaderboard. How could she beat the first? After taking off the mask, they sparred again. "Weren't we having a good time fighting before? Why can't you do it?" "You weren't mine before, but you are now." …… In the fantasy holographic online game world, there was a huge nightmare conspiracy. Should he live in the cruel reality, or should he not wake up from the beautiful dream he had woven? In this online game world, there were a total of five worlds: the human world, the demon world, the demon world, the immortal world, and the undeveloped world. The fifth realm was an open game that players had to find themselves. There was actually a man-made bug at the entrance to the Fifth Realm. The person trapped in this bug would never wake up in reality. A mysterious white deer and a clear spring water. As long as he looked into the white deer's eyes, it was as if he would fall into it. …… She held two whips in her hands and claimed that she would never play the role of a tank in the party (pulling the enemy's aggro onto herself and blocking damage for her teammates). For him, she made an exception. …… He looked into her eyes. Little Yuan, you want to be the hero of this world, but I only want to protect you." Why was this man so damn flirtatious? Why didn't she notice it before she took off her mask?

" Sister Gu is beautiful, kind, considerate, and has a nice scent on her. I want her to be my mommy!" Murong Xin said. Murong Lin: " Sister Gu is beautiful, gentle, clever, and skilled in cooking. I want her to be my mommy too!" "She's your mommy!" Big Iceberg Murong Yan replied. Gu Mei: " I didn't, I didn't. Don't spout nonsense. She's still a virgin!" "I have evidence!"
