Hayle Coven Novels

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.

The Science Ace Go Back To The Past To Save Her Brothers

The Science Ace Go Back To The Past To Save Her Brothers

# GROUP PAMPERING In her previous life, Su Su offered up her life for science, and in the end, she developed a system that could let her travel through time and space, allowing her to return to a time 30 years ago, to the day before her family was destroyed. She was only four at that time, and she was the legitimate lady of the Su family, though she ended up wandering the streets. At the same time, the imposter, Su Nan, lived a lavish life in the Su family, and she was also well loved by her brothers. When Su Su brought with her a dirty doll and stepped into the Su family's mansion, they were holding a grand birthday party for Su Nan. But this was also a sign that the Su family’s tragic fate was about to change! However, the imposter, Su Nan, panicked. “She’s just a beggar, and yet she’s pretending to be Su Su! Chase her out!” The guests snickered and agreed with her. “Where did this girl come out from? The Su family lost their eldest daughter when she’s just one years old. Someone must have told this four-year-old girl to do this, right?” Su Su ran into her noble and reserved big brother’s arms. “Brother, I’m Su Su! I came back! If you don’t believe me, we can do a paternity test!” In her previous life, she was only discovered and brought back to the Su family when she was an adult. Unfortunately, by then, the Su family was already persecuted to the point where it was almost ruined. This time, Su Su swore that she would save her brothers! Much later, when the four-year-old Su Su used the technology to save the Su family, Su Nan’s real identity was exposed. In truth, the Su family’s downfall was linked to this imposter…

What makes some science fiction novels underrated?

There are several reasons for science fiction novels to be underrated. Sometimes, the cover art or the title doesn't attract readers. A dull or unappealing cover can make a potentially great book be passed over. For example, some older science fiction novels with cheesy or uninformative covers might not get the attention they deserve. Also, if a novel doesn't fit neatly into an established sub - genre category, it can be overlooked. A book that combines elements of cyberpunk and space opera in a unique way might not have an obvious audience. Moreover, if the author is not well - known or part of a big - name literary clique, their work might not get promoted as much. This was the case for many indie - published science fiction novels in the past, which often had great ideas but little exposure.

A good underrated science fiction novel is 'Flowers for Algernon' by Daniel Keyes. Although it may be more of a science - fictional exploration of the human mind and intelligence, it's often overlooked in discussions of pure science fiction. The story of Charlie's transformation is both heart - breaking and thought - provoking. 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress' by Robert A. Heinlein is also underrated. It's set on the Moon where there's a revolution brewing against Earth's rule. Heinlein explores concepts of libertarianism, politics, and how a lunar colony could function. 'The Quantum Thief' by Hannu Rajaniemi is an underrated gem. It's set in a far - future solar system with a complex and convoluted plot involving quantum technology, memory, and identity theft.

For me, 'A Fire Upon the Deep' by Vernor Vinge is underappreciated. It has an amazing universe and story. Also, 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin is great but doesn't get all the praise it deserves. And 'The Book of the New Sun' by Gene Wolfe is another one that's not as well-known as it should be.

A somewhat underrated 1970s science fiction book is 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's set on a planet where people have no fixed gender until they enter a sexual cycle. It's a thought - provoking exploration of gender, society, and politics, but it doesn't always get as much attention as some of the more action - packed science fiction from the era.
