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.

I love gamer novels, unfortunately this is definitely not a gamer novel. there is no visual representation of a system, it’s like telling a blind man that there is a good book to read.

The real man in the Divine College's Mighty Soldier Company

Hey, hello friends, I'm Hua Ye. Just now, a friend asked me what happened to Teacher Hua. He sent me a few screenshots. Let me take a look! Roar! It turned out that there were two young men yesterday. They were in their twenties. One was called Ge Xiaolun, and the other was called Lin Xiaofei. They said, hey…One of them said that my cervical vertebra was damaged from training on the surface of the star. Teacher Hua, can you teach me your black hole technique and treat it? I said yes. I told him that it wasn't good to train your death energy on the surface of a star, but he was not convinced. I say, little kid, you two can fire at me, but he won't budge. He said that it was useless. This is Black Hole Force. Traditional techniques are all about force. He insisted on trying it out with me, and I said yes. Sigh! As soon as I finished speaking, he stood up with a bang. Very quickly! Then, he used a Dragon Fist. Boom, a lightning strike. I blocked it all! I'm afraid I'll hurt them, so I'll withdraw my fist. I stopped fighting when I was withdrawing my fist. They suddenly attacked me. One threw a two-way foil at me, and the other hit me with a vitality bomb. I was careless and didn't dodge! He was beaten into a paper man by them. I say, young man, if you don't talk about martial arts, you won't understand. Ah, they immediately apologized, saying…they said they were just randomly shooting, but they weren't randomly shooting. A proper two-way foil and a terrifying vital energy bomb. Clearly, they came prepared. These two young people didn't care about martial arts and came to cheat! Sneak attack, my thirty thousand year old comrade. Is this good? This was not good! I advise! These two young people should reflect on themselves and not be so smart in the future. Uh…the universe should prioritize harmony and martial arts. Don't engage in internal strife.
