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.

Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary!

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror. From the skittering sounds of footsteps racing behind me, to the soft yet unnervingly cold whispers curling around my ears... All of it. I hate it. So much so that I start puking whenever I reach a certain threshold. And yet, I am a Horror Game Developer. A crappy one at that. So, given my lack of ability, I decided to quit. And yet... [Congratulations, you've been selected for the Horror Game Developer System!] Nope, I don't want it. Let me quit. ※ Note : Your world might experience some changes. But don't worry! It's part of the game! *** This is a story about a game developer who hates horror, but has no choice but to develop games scary enough to traumatize people. You want to curse me for making you piss your pants? If that's the case, who do I curse? *** An SCP inspired story with its own twist! Discord : https://discord.gg/FK7ZQU3b9p

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

One of the best psychological horror novels I have read in my life. Despite my experience in the field of psychological horror, including games, novels, and films, and being one of the designers of psychological horror games, I can say that you have outdone yourself.

Ke Xue: Fake wine mixed with Crayon Shinchan

[Description: If betraying and hurting a person can absorb the other party's " Health Points ", what would you choose?] [Health Points Absorption Formula: Target's remaining Health Points * Affinity %* Damage %] Makoto Koyama, who had just transmigrated and had already entered the countdown, pondered over this question and formula. Then, he decisively opened his avatar and plunged into the darkness. [Makoto Koyama: As long as the target is a bad person, then I am a good person!] Cough, survival was not shabby! Therefore, many years later, a bottle of fake wine appeared in the winery, which was used to gain the favor of the members of the winery but secretly backstabbed them. A bottle of fake wine named Nikolaschka. ~~~ "Vodka, this game is over." But now we need to enjoy another game, a game of cat and mouse." After saying that, Gin grinned. His cold and sharp gaze swept across the group of backbone of the winery and finally fixed on the rye whiskey. Akai Shuichi: "Big Brother, you mean…" Under Vodka's shocked expression, Makoto Koyama, who had betrayed Akai Shuichi after experiencing a crisis of trust in the Gin, chuckled in his heart. P.S. Comic manga was more of a daily comedy. Keyword: Conan, ReLIfe Return to 17, Crayon Shin-chan, Azure Sea.

Then, he joined the Umbrella camp without hesitation."Let me help you." "Get lost!" Don't come over!" In the Terminator world, Qin Yue reached out and grabbed the 800-kilogram heavy fist of the Terminator. He laughed."What are you guys thinking? How can the strength of a machine compare to the body of a living creature that I worked so hard to strengthen to the extreme?" (Note: The introduction only represents the world you will go to, it has nothing to do with the order.)

"Who exactly are you?" asked Tao Tie. "Me?" Bi Zhaobing raised his dead fish eyes and looked coldly at Taotie in front of him. He slowly pulled out a card.
