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.

The Empress only wants to raise her cubs alone

King Chong had a young princess under him, and the emperor named her Li Chengyi. Li Chengyi had been spoiled since he was a child. When he was six years old, he cried and made a fuss as he resolutely entered the palace to be the princess's study companion. King Chong did not understand, and neither did the emperor. With her status, there was no need for her to be gilded, not to mention that the princess was extremely unfavored. Li Chengyi was the only daughter of the Shangguan family and was the childhood sweetheart of the current Emperor. When the Emperor was still the Crown Prince, she was the Crown Princess. After she ascended the throne, she should have been the Empress, but the Emperor made Liangdi the Empress and only gave her the title of Consort. Two years later, the Shangguan Clan was exterminated and she was banished to the Cold Palace. His Majesty said that she was just a substitute for his empress. She was hanged in the Cold Palace. Perhaps the Dragon God had taken pity on her, but she woke up in an unfamiliar body. Li Chengyi finally decided to let go of the love and hatred of his previous life and take care of his daughter, whom he had never even seen in his previous life. However, when Cheng De grew up, he happily introduced all kinds of beautiful men to Li Chengyi. Other than the handsome man, Li Chengyi also had a debt of love from his previous life, a group of uncles, and a bald handsome man. Li Chengyi chose to hold his daughter's hand." My child, what's the point of dating? I'll help you usurp the throne."
