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.

Hi, your novel is currently listed on Johnny Payne (the author)'s Goodreads profile. Did you add it there, and if so could you please remove it? I'm assuming you want it on your own Goodreads profile. (I am Johnny Payne's son.)

The book coming straight out of a classic in American literature. It’s normal that it’s not bad but the lack of space in some words (words sticking to another) is troublesome to read. And it’s frequent so it brings down the joy to read

Goblins in the world of killing

He had somehow transmigrated to the world of kacha, and he was still a low-level goblin? How to survive? Chen Yuan helplessly looked at his green arm. Thinking of the gods that existed in the unknown space and the future that he was about to face, he felt that he was being targeted. Fortunately, he could become a monster in the game, and thus, fantasy monsters from his previous life appeared in this world. Frost/Fire Goblins, Minotaurs, Cat Demons, Drakonids, City Lord of Light, Ice Dragon, Bone Dragon, Minotaur King, Michelle, Rotus, Direji, Casillas, Anton, Pray, Barkel, Kahn, and so on. Their powerful auras made the gods tremble. This was the transmigration journey that began with the brother slaughter. [PS: It won't be limited to the world of Gorga. It will travel through a few other worlds, such as Grey and Fantasy, Three Eyes, demi-humans, and some relatively small anime (possible). Of course, this is after Gorga ends.]

The fake daughter was forced to inherit billions of assets

[Completed] Warm Wine disappeared for 37 years and returned with his superpower. However, she accidentally wore it on the fake daughter who had been abandoned. Abandoned? Coincidentally, she could go back to find her brother. However, her eldest brother did not seem to treat her as a younger sister, her nephew did not treat her as a younger aunt, and her grandnephew did not treat her as a younger aunt. [Older Brother Over 60: Little Dimple, Big Brother has bought you cotton candy.] The middle-aged nephew said,"Auntie, it's my turn to pick you up from school today." His grandnephew, who was still a teenager, thought to himself,"Little Aunt, it's wrong to fall in love at such a young age!" Warm Wine: ??? Erm, listen to my excuses. I'm already a mature middle-aged man! Being treated like a baby, Wenjiu was very distressed. He could only divert his attention and seriously cover his avatar to increase his superpower, but... What was with this fake rich grandpa who suddenly appeared and wanted her to inherit the family property? The richest man's grandfather,"My dear granddaughter, do you have time to go home and inherit the family property?" Warm Wine: ??? The person involved expressed that he was a person with superpowers and did not need to have money. Moreover, she could not even spend all her money. ** The superpower was not very stable after the soul transmigration. Research showed that... She needed to get close to good-looking people and make them happy. The happier they were, the more stable they would be. Warm Wine was speechless. It didn't seem very reliable. Ji Xianyan, who had a good appearance, became the chosen prey. From then on, his mental activity became- - Why is she so nice to me? - Does she like me? - She must like me! One day, a young man with a bad temper blocked the path of the warm wine, his ears red,[I'm so annoying. I agree to your pursuit.] Warm Wine: ??? I'm sorry, I just want to be your little aunt.
