Small-town magic, two heavy hearts—one unforgettable winter solstice
Cole Morrison left Jewel’s snow-covered fir trees ten years ago. But after a disastrous family Thanksgiving, Jewel seems like the only place left to go. When a run-in with a gorgeous stranger leaves him with debt to pay, Cole’s escape from his past turns out to be much more than a lonely Christmas vacation.
Jesse Carroway, the local Jewel witch, has been running his family’s successful, small-town Apothecary ever since his grandmother passed away. When Cole stumbles into his shop and accidentally wrecks a good portion of his inventory, Jesse does the only thing he can possibly think of—offers Cole a job and himself some help for the upcoming holiday rush.
Cole’s clumsy with candles and doesn’t trust easily, but soon Jesse gets a peek at the guy behind his bad-boy reputation. As the nights lengthen toward Yule, Jesse wonders if magic is to blame or if Cole might’ve fallen into his life for a reason…
Interview with Brooklyn Ray
For those interested in exploring the subject or theme of your book, where should they start?
FULL MOON IN LEO is about loss, love and witchcraft, so I would start with reading THE REMAKING OF CORBIN WALE by Roan Parrish, which is a beautiful magical realism contemporary. Also, exploring and researching Pagan rituals and holiday festivities would be a fun pairing.
How did you become involved with the subject or theme of your book?
I’ve been practicing witchcraft for a long, long time, so it’s been an ongoing thing for me. Very much a part of my daily life.
What were your goals and intentions in this book, and how well do you feel you achieved them?
I wanted to write a book about hope and heart, and I think I got there. Jesse and Cole have a beautiful, lasting love story that blossoms into a found family, and I’m happy with how that unfolded.
Anything you would like to say to your readers and fans?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sticking it out with me this long. I can’t wait for what the future holds.
What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
Oh, absolutely the food. I loved, loved writing about Pagan cooking for Yule and I also really loved describing candle-making and love rituals. It definitely hit close to home.
Can you tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have planned for the future?
Right now, I’m planning on republishing a couple other contemporary romance books, but until then I’m working on pen name material, short stories, working with a new (amazing) team, and getting back on the publishing horse.
How long have you been writing?
Ten years. Published for five.
