First Full Moon
by Michelle Alstead
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: August 28th 2018
Summary:
More secrets. More lies. I'm going to die.
She wanted a car for her sixteenth birthday, not magical powers… Candy McGregor is a teenager living in Sequim Falls, a small East Coast town, where the McGregors own just about everything. While her grandmother grooms her to run the family business—a pharmaceutical empire—Candy dreams of a life where she’s known as more than just a last name. When the monthly family dinner turns into a horror show, Candy discovers the McGregors aren’t so much blessed as they are cursed. At midnight on her sixteenth birthday, Candy inherits both the ability to do magic and the destiny to become a wolf on the next full moon. There is hope of a life that doesn’t require being chained up once a month. If Candy can undo the original spell that created the curse, she can rid the world of werewolves and remain a witch. But there’s one really big problem. Not everyone hates being a wolf. With the next full moon looming, Candy must take on forces that will do anything to stop her. Will she break the curse or surrender to life as a monster?

Interview
with Michelle Alstead
Can you
tell us a little bit about the characters in First Full Moon?
Candy is
the heroine of the story. She’s struggling to overcome circumstances she was
born into. She very much wants to get out from under the shadow of her family and
strike out on her own. She belongs to a very big family with a lot of cousins
but her “pack” really consists of her cousins: Larkin, Bennett, and Jasper.
Each of which have their own personalities. They’re all working toward one
common goal: break the curse but their reasons for doing so are different.
Can you
tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have planned for the
future?
I’m
currently finishing “The Last Piece” which is a Christian romance novel and the
second novel in the “Bright Lights” due out December 1st.
How long
would you say it takes you to write a book?
When I’m
inspired, I can write a novel in a month.
What is
your favorite childhood book?
The
Chronicles of Narnia
If you
could spend the day with one of the characters from First Full Moon who would
it be?
I would
hang out with Larkin, Candy’s cousin and best friend.
Please
tell us why you chose this particular character, where you would go and what
you would do.
I think
Larkin and I would go shopping. She’s one of my favorite characters because she
has no fear and very much accepts who she is. She also makes bold fashion
choices.
What was
the hardest scene from First Full Moon to write?
The
climax where Candy experiences a great loss toward the end was the hardest. The
book didn’t originally end that way.
What made
you want to become a writer?
It’s a
calling, not a choice.
Just for
fun
