We are so excited to welcome author, Morgan Lockhart for a book signing for her debut novel, A Spell for Midwinter's Heart! Lockhart based the town in her book on Leavenworth and our winter festival, so we are even more excited to host her during the famous Christmas Lighting Festival in Leavenworth on Saturday, December 6th from 1-3pm.
Lockhart makes the Yuletide magical in her bewitching and charming holiday romance, releasing this fall. This is the perfect read for every Hallmark-obsessee and fans of the increasingly popular trend of witchy rom-coms with heart, such as Best Hex Ever, The Wedding Witch, and The Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping.
Rowan Midwinter has sworn off magic—for good. A spell gone wrong back in high school left her with nothing but missing memories and regret, and she left that world and her quaint mountain hometown behind. But, as Yule approaches and the much-needed snow still hasn’t fallen, Rowan is guilted into returning. She reckons she can put up with her family, friends, and former coven if it means saving the town’s beloved winter festival from the megacorporation threatening to take over and to erase its unique, inclusive holiday traditions.
But she didn’t count on Gavin McCreery, prodigal son of the festival’s landlord, who immediately makes her plans to save the festival—and to make it through the holiday magicfree—go awry. He insists on helping, even as his father continues negotiations with the looming and stingy megacorporation, and Gavin and Rowan’s unwanted chemistry keeps setting off holiday lights…literally.
As the quest to keep the festival alive grows increasingly complicated, Rowan realizes she must reconnect with what she tried to leave behind—her family, her coven, her memories, and maybe even Gavin, too—to let go of her fear of magic and allow her heart to lead the way.
Morgan Lockhart is a veteran video game writer, working with blockbuster and fan-favorite a transportive and swoony read full of real Yuletide traditions and imaginative charms and spells, while also showcasing the importance of nurturing community, healing generational trauma, and embracing what it means to truly forgive and grow. A finalist for both the Pacific Northwest Writers’ Association’s annual Writing Contest and the New Hampshire Romance Writer of America’s Blurb Contest, A Spell for Midwinter's Heart will make readers want to curl up underneath a blanket with a pine candle lit and a cup of hot cocoa in hand.
A Spell for Midwinter's Heart combines the playful banter of Jen DeLuca’s Well Met and infuses it with the cozy fantastical romance of Sangu Mandanna’s The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. The result is a delightful read filled to the brim with warmth, connection, and magic that only comes with holiday times.
