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.

I'd recommend 'Snow Crash' for a beginner. It's one of the early and important cyberpunk novels, but it's written in a way that's accessible. It has a really cool concept of a virtual meta - verse and how society functions within it. Also, 'The Peripheral' is a good choice. It eases you into the idea of different timelines and the implications of future technology in a not - too - complicated way.

Also, 'Ghost in the Shell' (the novel) is excellent. It's a thought - provoking exploration of the relationship between humans and machines in a cybernetic future.

One of the great ones is 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson. It combines cyberpunk elements like advanced technology and a dystopian future with detective - like elements as the main character Case is on a quest that involves a lot of mystery and investigation. Another is 'Altered Carbon' by Richard K. Morgan. It's set in a future where consciousness can be transferred between bodies, and Takeshi Kovacs, a former soldier, acts as a sort of detective solving a murder mystery that spans different bodies and lifetimes. And 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson also fits. In this novel, Hiro Protagonist has to navigate a complex cyberpunk world filled with various factions and mysteries, much like a detective would.

I also recommend 'Altered Carbon' by Richard K. Morgan. Set in a future where consciousness can be digitized and transferred between bodies, it explores themes of identity, immortality, and the divide between the rich and the poor. The world - building is top - notch, with a dark and seedy underbelly to the high - tech society.

I think 'Ghost in the Shell' by Masamune Shirow is among the top cyberpunk noir novels. It delves deep into the concepts of identity and consciousness in a world where humans and machines are becoming more and more intertwined. The story is complex and thought - provoking. 'Hardwired' by Walter Jon Williams is also a good one. It has a fast - paced plot with a tough female protagonist in a cyberpunk setting. And 'Mona Lisa Overdrive' by William Gibson is a great addition to the genre, continuing the themes and atmosphere he established in 'Neuromancer'.
