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 of the best is 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells. It features a time - traveling inventor in a Victorian - era setting which has elements of steampunk. Another great one is '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' by Jules Verne. The advanced submarine, the Nautilus, with its complex machinery and the underwater adventures set in a Victorian context are very steampunk. Also, 'The Difference Engine' by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling is a classic. It imagines a world where Charles Babbage's mechanical computer was actually built in the 19th century, which is a fundamental concept in steampunk.

For beginners, I'd suggest 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. It has a lot of well - known characters from classic literature, which makes it easier to get into. The steampunk elements, like the cool gadgets and the alternate Victorian London, are really fun to explore. Also, 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' is a good choice. It's a short read and the exploration of the duality of human nature in a somewhat steampunk - ish Victorian setting can be quite interesting for those new to the genre.

Steam - powered technology is a major characteristic. Think of things like steam - powered automatons, airships with steam engines, and huge mechanical contraptions that are often used in both daily life and in warfare within the story. Also, the fashion in classic steampunk novels usually combines Victorian - style clothing with elements of industrial gear, like goggles and leather aprons. The characters might be inventors or adventurers who are dealing with the new and sometimes dangerous steam - powered inventions.

Go to the white head

Shen Yungui felt that his heart was stirred. The general's youngest son was bright and handsome. He played with her and they were a pair of happy enemies. Unfortunately, this scumbag only had one day's memory. Yesterday, he said he loved her, and today, he wanted her to marry someone else for the sake of the family. Shen Yungui was married. Prince Liang of Great Wei was handsome and had outstanding military achievements. He was her childhood sweetheart, and her mother looked at him as if he was her own son. It was a pity that this scumbag was smiling on the surface, but his heart was killing. The smell of blood on his body had never stopped. Since she was young, she was not afraid of her parents and brothers, but only this killing god, the smiling tiger. After Shen Yungui got married, he went to war again. She had never expected that the traitor of the Great Wei that had supported her to grow up would take root in the Imperial Court and almost take the lives of her father, brother, and husband on the battlefield. The building was about to collapse, and there were countless people who were like-minded with her. She picked up her father's sword and mounted the horse. There were thousands of people waiting for her triumphant return. On the battlefield, it was said that she went deep into the enemy city alone for her husband, whose life and death were unknown. The truth was indeed so. Qin Yanzhi, who was half-dead, was dug out from the pile of dead bodies by her. He felt that he did not have much time left. He was not willing to die. He lay on her back and told her his funeral." After I die, you have to…" "Bah! When I go back, I'll be a great general who has made great contributions. If you die, I'll definitely ask uncle for thirty Jade-faced Playboys to party in front of your soul every night, one per night!" Qin Yanzhi was speechless.
