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.

But I love you

In her previous life, Xia Shengge had always thought that she was an illegitimate daughter who could not be exposed to the public. Her birth was a sin. He was willing to be his sister Xia Ruoling's double and shooter. Even if he had to take the blame and go to jail, he would never complain.

Xia Shengge removed her ugly makeup and swore to take away everything that Xia Ruoling was obsessed with… No, wait! Forget it. Lu Jiucheng was a paranoid and sickly big shot. He was the famous " Life-Taking Yama " in Yun Du, and she really couldn't afford to offend him. However, when she turned around, Xia Shengge was blocked by Lu Jiucheng at the corner. He kissed her passionately on the lips." You were the one who provoked me first. Now you want to run away? Too late." * * * The nine cities of Shengge, a lifetime of gentleness. In this world, there were always some encounters because they were destined, and there were always some misses because they wanted to reunite.
