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 think 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien has a great beginning. It starts with Bilbo Baggins in his comfortable home, and then Gandalf arrives to disrupt his ordinary life and set him on an adventure. It's a really inviting start for readers to enter this fantastical world. Also, 'The Great Gatsby' has a memorable start that gives a sense of mystery and allure about Gatsby himself.

The opening of 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen - 'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.' This beginning is great as it gives a peek into the society's values at that time. It's humorous too, as Austen seems to be poking a bit of fun at the idea that all wealthy men must be looking for a wife. It makes the reader curious about the characters who will be involved in this concept.
