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.

warm-blooded animal

Four years ago, he was a talented ice skating youth and the most anticipated best defender in the football world, God Jan. He was a genius racer who had appeared out of nowhere two years ago, and the Qin God who had excellent strength in the sports circle. That year, he was not even 18 years old. That year, he was not even 20 years old. In the past, he never smiled. In the past, when he faced reporters, he always smiled and welcomed them. He was neither servile nor overbearing on the day he gave up the ice ball, and he was silent on the day he left the track. From then on, the ice rink lost its high-spirited youth, and the track lost its leader who flew against the wind. What kind of existence was he? She was a natural beauty who was surrounded by the opposite sex. She was always so mysterious. When he met her, there were many misunderstandings. "Do I still have a chance to get to know you again?" he asked. She looked at him coldly." I accept your apology, so let's stop here." He had fallen in love with her, and he had never left her when they were in love. "I'm fine," he said lightly. She denied," No, you're not good." He was so angry that he laughed." Why can't the little girl see me getting better?" Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak." Race again. I know it has always been your dream." He was so lucky that she had created many opportunities for him and given him courage that he had never had before. She always said," You're my confidence!" This was the story of youth and dreams, competition and silence, defeat and growth. No one could stand at the top forever, no one could retreat unscathed, no one was omnipotent, but one had to have a clear conscience. Humans were warm-blooded animals, but they did the most hot-blooded things!
