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 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. The narrator's version of events is constantly being undermined as the story progresses, keeping the reader on their toes. Another great one is 'The Great Gatsby' where Nick Carraway's narration is somewhat unreliable as he has his own biases and limited understanding of the complex relationships around him. Also, 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov has an unreliable narrator in Humbert Humbert, whose self - justifying and immoral perspective makes the reader question the truth of his account.

For beginners, 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Time' by Mark Haddon is a good start. The narrator, Christopher, has autism which affects how he perceives and relays events. It's an easy - to - follow story despite the unreliable narration. Another option is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's a short story but very effective in showing an unreliable narrator who tries to convince the reader of his sanity while clearly being deranged. 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan also has an unreliable narrator in Briony. The novel is well - written and engaging for those new to the concept of unreliable narrators.

Well, first, you can have the narrator withhold important information or give misleading details. Also, show contradictions in their account as the story progresses. That way, the reader is constantly unsure of what to believe.

Unreliable narrators in short stories often lack objectivity. They are too involved in the story's events to give a neutral account. Their language can also be a giveaway. They might use overly flowery or convoluted language to hide the truth or they may be very evasive. Also, they may have a psychological disorder or be in a state of mental distress that affects how they perceive and report what is happening. This makes it hard for the reader to trust their version of the story right from the start.
