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.

What are the characteristics of sci fi mystery novels?
1 answer

One characteristic is the blend of scientific concepts. For example, in many sci fi mystery novels, there might be advanced technology like time travel or teleportation that is integral to the mystery. Another is the sense of the unknown. Just like in regular mystery novels where you don't know who the killer is, in sci fi mystery novels, you often don't know what the strange scientific phenomenon really is. For instance, in 'The Three - Body Problem', the mystery of the Trisolaran civilization and their plans is deeply tied to scientific concepts.

How are guns depicted in sci - fi mystery novels?

Guns in these novels can be symbols of power and danger. They are not just simple firearms like we have today. Sometimes, they are genetically keyed to the user, meaning only a specific person can fire it. This kind of feature can be a key part of the mystery. If a gun is used in a crime and it's supposed to be only usable by a certain character, it raises questions about how it got into the wrong hands. Also, the design of the guns can be very futuristic, with sleek lines and glowing parts, which helps to create the sci - fi atmosphere while also being a tool in the mystery - solving process.

One top thriller was 'Gone to Dust'. It had an engaging plot that revolved around a crime scene cleaner who gets involved in solving murders. In sci - fi, 'The Calculating Stars' was great. It was about an alternate history where a meteorite hits the earth and a female astronaut tries to make a difference. For mystery, 'The Dry' is a good pick. It's set in a drought - stricken town with a lot of secrets.

The combination of elements. The science - fiction part allows for amazing and imaginative settings like far - off planets or future societies. This provides a unique backdrop for the action. The action keeps the readers on the edge of their seats, with battles, chases, and high - stakes situations. And the mystery adds an extra layer of intrigue. For example, in 'Dune' by Frank Herbert, the sci - fi world of Arrakis is full of political and technological wonders. The action of the war and the mystery of the Spice are what draw readers in.
