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.

Well, 'Lucky Jim' by Kingsley Amis can be considered in a way. It mocks the academic world which has some undercurrents of power play and misbehavior that can be related to the idea of crime in a satirical sense. Then there's 'The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon. It's a complex novel that satirizes various aspects of American society including crime - related elements like conspiracy and mystery. Also, 'Inherent Vice' by Thomas Pynchon again, with its hippie - era setting, satirizes crime and the seedy underbelly of society at that time.

Well, regular crime novels typically center around the crime, the investigation, and the apprehension of the criminal. They follow a more or less set formula. Satirical crime novels deviate from this. They use the crime as a backdrop to comment on society. For example, they can satirize the class system by having a crime that is related to the power dynamics between different classes. In satirical crime novels, the characters may not be the typical 'good guys' and 'bad guys' as in regular crime novels. The narrative might be more fragmented and less linear, jumping from one satirical point to another. Also, the language in satirical crime novels can be more playful and full of wordplay compared to the more straightforward language often found in regular crime novels.
