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.

Five thousand years ago, a great calamity descended on earth. Countless Spatial Cracks appeared in the sky and beasts invaded. After hundreds of years of fighting, humans discovered they could awaken a battle spirit that can help them raise their strength and grant them the abilities that were simply unimaginable for humans before. Qin Feng also awakens his battle spirit but unfortunately, it was swallowed by his own birthmark, The Infinity Symbol. This was just the beginning of the mysteries that surrounded him like invisible specks of dust.

The Infinity Symbol helped him awaken a Divine Battle Spirit and granted him a Nameless Cultivation Technique that was beyond the world's limit. He also discovered that he could not die! Every time, he was killed, he returned back in time with the memories of what is going to happen in the future. Soon after awakening the Divine Battle Spirit, a mysterious beautiful lady stepped into his life and told him that he does not belong to the earth. He was actually the reincarnation of someone called 'KING'.

How did wartime influence mystery novels?

Wartime influenced mystery novels in several ways. For one, it provided a backdrop of chaos and uncertainty. In many mystery novels, this setting added an extra layer of tension. For example, in 'Murder on the Orient Express', the political unrest of the time is felt in the background. The characters are from different places and carry their own stories influenced by the wider world situation. Also, wartime often led to a sense of paranoia, which mystery writers could use to great effect. In 'And Then There Were None', the isolation and the fear among the characters could be seen as a reflection of the wartime mentality.

The settings are usually war - torn areas. These novels use the backdrop of war to heighten the drama and the stakes for the lovers. War can act as both a separator and a unifier for the characters in love. The characters might be separated by battle lines, yet their love endures, or they might find common ground in their shared experiences of war. They also tend to explore themes like sacrifice. One or both of the lovers may have to sacrifice their own desires, safety, or even their lives for the sake of their love or for the greater good in the context of the war.

I would recommend 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'. It has a great plot set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. 'A Farewell to Arms' is also excellent, with its poignant love story intertwined with the chaos of World War I. And don't forget 'Slaughterhouse - Five' which is a very unique take on World War II.
