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.

Sojourners of a Titan: An Eastern Fantasy Transmigration Story

Sojourners of a Titan: An Eastern Fantasy Transmigration Story

Waking up in a strange world, Judith found herself in the middle of a desert, in chains and in rags. At first she assumed she was being trafficked, but soon after, she realized she was somehow in the fantasy world of her favourite novel. A fantasy world in which humans lived on a planet sized titan, bonded with mythical creatures to gain powers and went through insane climate conditions due to the titan periodically moving closer to its version of the sun. These were just the surface level of this world, because one of the reasons Judith fell in love with this fantasy world, was because of its complex ecosystem, simple but well thought out power system, riveting political battles and incredibly endearing characters. Finding herself in this world, Judith didn't know what to feel. But thinking back on her old world, the pain and struggles she had gone through and the losses she experienced, it was a no-brainer to prefer this world. And even better, this was a world she knew better than the back of her hand. So if one thing was for certain, she was going to use her knowledge to make this world hers. With this determination, Judith set out to carve a life out in this world, and succeed where she had failed in her previous one. ... At least that was the plan, but as it turns out, the person responsible for sending her to this world, was not doing it out of the kindness of her heart, but aimed to use her. Sun Qi sent Judith to this world to be a sacrifice, so she could gain the power she needed to save herself from a curse that would end her life. But disagreeing with this, Sun Qi's brother Wukong went into this world, in order to stop Judith and send her back to her original home. Unfortunately, things don't pan out as Wukong had initially planned. When he finds out that sacrificing Judith may be the only way to save his sister. But doing so would go against everything he stood for. Wukong will have to decide what is important to him, as he watches the events of this world unravel and in turn shape him. -------------- Author here, this novel will be very loosely based on the titular character Sun Wukong.
