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.

What are the benefits of a modern retelling of classic novels?
Well, it can attract a wider range of readers. Younger generations, who might be put off by the archaic style of classic novels, are more likely to pick up a modern retelling. It also allows for a fresh take on the characters. In a modern version of 'Jane Eyre', for instance, the character of Jane could be more assertive in a way that reflects modern feminism. And it can keep the essence of the classic alive in a new cultural context, ensuring that these great stories don't get forgotten.

How to do a retelling of a classic novel?
To retell a classic novel, focus on the most important parts. Let's take 'The Great Gatsby' as an example. You should talk about Gatsby's grand parties, his love for Daisy, and the tragic end. Omit the minor details. Just keep in mind the overall mood and message of the novel. So, you can start by setting the scene of the 1920s and then gradually unfold Gatsby's story, his dreams, and how they were shattered in the end.

The Legality of Retelling Stories and Novels
However, problems may arise when it comes to commercial use without permission. If someone retells a well - known novel and tries to sell their retelling as a new product without getting the rights from the original author or publisher, it is illegal. For instance, taking 'Harry Potter' and retelling the whole story in a slightly different way and selling it as your own creation would violate J.K. Rowling's copyright.

No. It depends on various factors. For one, if you're retelling a public - domain story, it's generally legal as long as you're not plagiarizing a particular well - known retelling. Public - domain works, like those from the 19th century where the copyright has expired, can be freely retold. For example, many new versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales are created legally.
