Hayle Coven Novels

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.

The American Dream: A Modern Officer Sent to the Revolutionary War

The American Dream: A Modern Officer Sent to the Revolutionary War

Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill begins. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation upholds its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning. Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improve from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you are interested in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off initially, I promise that the story improves quickly. Some early details were accidentally left out, as I wrote the first two chapters a year before writing the third chapter. If you wish to support my writing, feel free to support me on Patreon. All my chapters will be free, but I appreciate a tip! https://www.patreon.com/okmangeez

What are the main characteristics of American postmodernist novels?
2 answers

One main characteristic is the blurring of boundaries. For example, the distinction between high and low culture is often erased. Authors might incorporate elements of popular culture like comic books or TV shows into their novels. Another is the use of fragmented narratives. Instead of a linear plot, the story might be told in bits and pieces, jumping back and forth in time. Also, self - reflexivity is common, where the novel may draw attention to its own fictional nature, like a character in the story commenting on the act of writing the story itself.

John Barth is a significant figure. His writing often plays with the form and structure of the novel. Then there's Donald Barthelme. His short stories and novels are known for their fragmentation and playfulness. Toni Morrison, in some of her works, also shows postmodernist tendencies. For example, in 'Beloved', she uses non - linear narrative and complex intertextuality to great effect.

One of the best postmodernist novels is 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It's a satirical and complex work that challenges the traditional notions of war and bureaucracy. The circular and absurd plot, like the catch - 22 situation itself where the soldiers are trapped in a no - win scenario, is a hallmark of postmodernist literature.

A good starting point could be 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut. It has elements of postmodernism like the non - linear narrative. The story jumps around in time, and Vonnegut's unique writing style, which combines humor and dark themes, makes it accessible.

One main characteristic is the blurring of boundaries. For example, between high and low culture. It often plays with different genres and mixes them up, like a novel that combines elements of detective story, romance, and science fiction all at once. Also, postmodernist novels tend to question the idea of a single, objective truth. Instead, they present multiple perspectives and realities.

What are the common themes in postmodernist science fiction?
2 answers

One common theme is the fragmentation of identity. Postmodernist science fiction often presents characters with fluid and fragmented identities, as opposed to the more stable identities in traditional sci - fi. Another theme is the unreliability of knowledge. In these works, scientific knowledge or historical facts may be questioned or presented as malleable. And meta - narrative is also a theme, where the story itself comments on the act of storytelling.

One famous postmodernist novel writer is Italo Calvino. His books, such as 'If on a winter's night a traveler', are highly postmodern. They play with the form of the novel, with different beginnings and a self - reflexive nature. Kurt Vonnegut is also in this category. His works, like 'Slaughterhouse - Five', use non - linear narratives and satirical elements that are typical of postmodernist novels.
