The Kenosha Book Festival is on its way so let’s get a sneak peek and meet some of our local authors.

All of Studio Moonfall’s Meet the Author events are free so come on down to 5031 7th Avenue and maybe you’ll find your next favorite book!

Our featured author for Friday, April 14th from 5pm to 7pm will be M.P. McDonald!

Check out the bio below and learn more at https://mpmcdonald.com

M.P. McDonald is the author of thrillers with a psychic twist and a reluctant hero, and post-apocalyptic fiction

centered around saving family. During the day she works as a respiratory therapist, where her first-hand experience with treating those with life-threatening illnesses and injuries gives her stories a realistic touch.

Her cat, Tigerheart, a strict taskmaster, keeps one paw resting (restraining?) on her shoulder to ensure the writing gets done in a timely fashion. She allows a few breaks, but only if M.P. shares her chips.

When not writing, M.P. can usually be found with her nose buried in a book, swimming in the pool if it’s not too cold (but since she lives in SE Wisconsin, it’s too cold most of the time!) or hanging out with family and friends.

For the past decade (2011-2021), she has been crafting these poems, posting them on social media, borrowing from friends’ statuses, writing for friends, and sharing at open mics. It wasn’t until recently that she realized she could share these creations with a much wider audience.
