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.

Many generation ship novels show that over time, due to the isolated environment of the ship, the humans on board may start to evolve differently. For example, in some stories, they develop new physical traits or mental capabilities to adapt to the ship's conditions.

Well, consider a generation ship where the initial group of humans had a certain set of skills and behaviors. As generations pass, those skills and behaviors that are no longer useful may fade away, while new ones emerge. For instance, if the ship's systems start to break down and the crew has to rely more on manual labor, physical strength and mechanical knowledge might become more highly valued traits. And on the genetic level, the small population on the ship means that any genetic drift or mutation has a higher chance of becoming prevalent. So, over time, the humans on the generation ship may look and act very differently from their ancestors who first boarded the ship, all because of the unique environment of the generation ship in science fiction.

Generation ship novels are unique because they deal with the concept of multi - generational travel. Unlike other space travel stories that might focus on a single - generation journey, these novels explore how a society develops over many generations in a closed environment of a spaceship. The characters are not just traveling through space but also building a new kind of culture within the ship.
