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.

SYDLYNN HAYLE IS BACK in an all-new series!

Enters the Phoenix

A burst of fire blazed in the corner of my eye, jerking me around toward the back door. I barely remembered moving, feet flying over the hardwood, hands slamming against the glass and throwing it open, hurtling out into the dew-wet grass.

Fire climbed from a curled up ball of humanity, near the edge of the hedge row leading to the park on the other side of our property. I staggered to a halt, power reflexively tightening around me, ready to attack, when the figure unbent, half sitting, half lying on the ground, her face turned up toward me.

“RUN!” Her scream pierced me to my soul, froze my magic in place before it could harm her. Flames burned her, devoured her, dark hair and eyes on fire, but she managed to stagger to her feet, eyes pure gold as she gestured toward me. “Sydlynn Hayle, if you love your family, run and don’t look back!”

Things have never been better for Sydlynn Hayle and her family, living out their lives in Wilding Springs, Pennsylvania. Her battles and struggles have come to a halt, her two young children happy and well-adjusted, marriage to her beloved Quaid all she could ever ask for. But when a woman of flame appears to her and warns her of impending danger, Syd understands at last the quiet she’s enjoyed has all been a smoke screen, hiding the truth. Her old enemies have returned to destroy her and everything her family has fought for, with repercussions that could threaten the very Universe.

So much for happily ever after.

Hayle Coven Destinies

This time I did lunge for him, grasping his upper arms in my hands while Sassafras gasped behind me.


I didn't shake my son. Oh, I wanted to. But the mother in me and the all-powerful Doombringer were too tightly locked in battle to allow me to do anything but hold him gently and ask the obvious question.


"You crossed over?" Dear elements, what would that mean for the Universe? Gabriel's first Gateway had opened the way for Dark Brother to come here, hadn't it? Did my son just make it possible for Creator's sibling's terrible army to cross to our Universe? I had to talk to Max, to warn him-


"No, Mom," Gabriel said as if such a suggestion was ridiculous and really I needed to take a deep breath and some heavy duty drugs to chill out already. "But I felt where Trill crossed."


The young Zornov again. Honestly, my ability to waffle back and forth between trusting her and Creator's plan and just wanting to beat some sense into her was giving me a migraine.
