BLOG TOUR ~ Signs & Wonders by Morgan Brice #Interview #Excerpt #Giveaway
✨ INTERVIEW ✨
What was it that led you to write in the genre you write?
A: I love stories with supernatural elements and plenty of action. And I love MM romance. Put those together and I can’t resist!
Are your books’ character led or plot led?
A: In my mind, it’s 50/50. The series follow evolving, established relationships so character is a big part of the story because we’re watching the characters learn and grow, it’s not a one-shot. But each story has a mystery/adventure at its heart and for the Witchbane books, there’s a plot arc for the whole series instead of each book being a different case. So it’s really both.
What is your favourite part of the writing process?
A: I like all the parts, just not always when I’m doing them. So outlining is fun except when I get stuck. Writing is fun except when I’m missing something in a scene. It varies day to day.
What is your least favourite part of the writing process?
A: Editing. It’s necessary but never fun.
Where do you get your inspiration for your characters?
A: Like most writers, I am always people-watching and then mashing up characteristics depending on the story.
If I came to dinner what would you feed me?
A: I’d ask you what you like and go from there!
What do you prefer writing – a one-off novel, a series, or short stories?
A: They can all be fun. I gravitate to series because I like to have the chance for characters to learn and grow and for us to see them do that.
Where do you see yourself, personally and professionally, in five years’ time?
A: Being nearly caught-up on my to-do list and having a pile more books out!
Do you have any other projects in the offing we should look out for?
A: The next book I’ll be working on is book 3 in the Treasure Trail series!
Where’s the best place for new readers to find you?
A: You can find all my books and social media links at http://www.MorganBrice.com

Can Seth and Evan save the warlock’s next target, bring down his crime syndicate, and live to tell the tale?
Blurb
When a coven of dark warlocks killed Seth Tanner’s brother, Seth became a man driven by vengeance, sworn to stop the cycle of ritual killings, willing to die for the cause. He never expected to fall head over heels in love with the witches’ next intended victim. Evan Malone didn’t believe the supernatural was real until Seth swept in with his magic and motorcycle to save him from being the next sacrifice.
Now they’ve gone on the road together, hunting the rest of the coven while they figure out how to keep the white-hot, once-in-a-lifetime bond between them. Days are filled tracking their paranormal quarry, honing their monster hunting skills, and gaining control of the small magics that have made a life-or-death difference. Nights are spent together, entangled in adrenaline-fueled passion, learning how to make this love last forever despite the odds. Seth fears that if they don’t eliminate the rest of the coven, they’ll be on the run forever, and more people will die. Evan is afraid that Seth’s obsession with revenge means they might not survive to get a happily ever after.
Seth and Evan head to West Virginia to confront one of the dark warlocks, a master con man running a cybercrime empire. Can Seth and Evan save the warlock’s next target, bring down his crime syndicate, and live to tell the tale?
Signs and Wonders is a thrill-packed supernatural thrill ride with plenty of paranormal suspense, hurt/comfort, hot nights, found family, deadly magic, immortal witches, determined hunters, haunted places, creepy ghosts, impressive explosions, spooky chills, and sexy thrills, and features an evolving, established romantic relationship with all the feels.
Excerpt
“You are dead and buried. This is not your place. Let go and move on to what lies ahead.” Seth continued the ritual, although his heart broke for the young woman whose life had been cut short by a thirst for adventure.
“I don’t want to go.”
Jenny’s spirit no longer attacked, weakened by the sigils Seth had chalked. She looked young and scared, lost in a place between life and death.
“Your family and friends cherish your memory. But you do not belong here. Go in peace, and do no more harm. In the name of that which creates, empowers, and sustains, and by the will of all those who loved you—move on.”
Jenny’s ghost flickered again and then faded as an icy wind swept through the atrium, making dust motes dance in the light.
“Is she gone?” Evan kept his shotgun racked and ready.
“I think so. At least for now, if not permanently. Milo said that if the banishment didn’t send her on, it would sap her strength so she couldn’t hurt anyone again for a while,” Seth replied. “I tried to get one of the local mediums to come with us, but once they found out where we were going, they all said ‘hell no.’”
“Guess we were just dumb enough to do it anyhow.” Evan’s grin made it clear he relished the adventure.
“Sounds like us.” Seth bumped Evan’s shoulder in agreement.
The abandoned Molly Stark Hospital was legendary for its haunts, but the crazed spirit that attacked them wasn’t from the building’s past as a tuberculosis sanitarium. Jenny Summers was a much more recent death, an unfortunate urban explorer who had come to investigate the hospital’s supernatural reputation and fallen to her death through a hole in the floor.
Unlike the hospital’s other ghosts, Jenny’s angry spirit lashed out at security guards and tour guides who ventured too near the building. That made her a hazard, meaning someone had to set her soul to rest. When the head of security couldn’t persuade any of the local ghost hunters to rid the site of Jenny, he had reached out to Seth’s mentor, Milo, who had tapped Seth and Evan since they were passing through the area.
“These old hospitals were built to stand forever, even when no one needed them anymore,” Evan noted wistfully as they slipped out the back door, locking it with the key borrowed from the security chief.
The four-story Spanish Revival hospital dated from 1929, when it had been considered cutting-edge in its amenities. Huge windows, wide verandas, and courtyards were meant to provide sunlight and fresh air to patients. By the time it shuttered in the 1990s, medical advances had left the huge complex behind.
“There are over a thousand feet of tunnels running between the main building and the outbuildings,” Seth said as they slipped through the cut in the chain link fence.
