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.

Some characteristics include fragmented narratives. For example, in 'Ulysses' by James Joyce, the story jumps around in time and place, and the stream - of - consciousness technique is used, which shows the random flow of characters' thoughts. Another characteristic is the exploration of the individual's relationship with society. Modernist novels often question traditional values and social norms, like 'The Great Gatsby' which reflects on the American Dream and the hollowness of the upper class society.

Her 'Nightwood' is a complex and often overlooked modernist novel that deals with themes of gender, identity, and love in a very modernist - flavored way. And of course, D. H. Lawrence, with novels like 'Women in Love', explored human relationships and the human psyche in a modernist context.

In 'The Great Gatsby' as a modernist novel, it examines the theme of identity. Gatsby has created a new identity for himself to fit into the world he desires. His real self is buried under the persona he has crafted. This reflects the modernist idea that identity is fluid and can be constructed. The theme of love is also explored in a modernist way. Gatsby's love for Daisy is more of an obsession based on an idealized version of her. It's not a pure, simple love but rather a complex and often self - destructive one, which is different from traditional portrayals of love in literature. Also, the theme of class struggle is present. The differences between the classes are highlighted through the characters' interactions and their attitudes towards one another.
