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.

One way is to look for a central character who is on a journey, either physical or metaphorical. In 'Don Quixote', Don Quixote's travels across the Spanish countryside are a key feature. Also, the presence of episodic adventures is important. For example, in 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', Huck and Jim have a series of encounters along the Mississippi. Another factor is the character's growth or lack thereof during the journey. In 'Candide', Candide changes his view of the world through his experiences.

Sure. 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy has a kind of picaresque journey as the father and son travel through a post - apocalyptic world. It's a harrowing but powerful read. Another one is 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay' which I mentioned before. It's really engaging with its two main characters' rise and fall in the comic book business. And 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus has some elements of a picaresque as the protagonist Meursault moves through different situations in a rather detached way.

The main characteristic of picaresque novels is that they typically follow the adventures of a roguish hero or anti - hero. These protagonists are often from a low social class. For example, in 'Lazarillo de Tormes', the main character is a poor boy who has to fend for himself in a harsh world. Another feature is episodic structure, with each chapter or section presenting a new adventure or encounter. The novels also often provide a satirical view of society, showing the vices and follies of different classes through the eyes of the picaro.
