For Rayshell and her best friend Trish, senior year of high school is going to hell in a handbasket. The feud between Celestine and Daeva is bleeding into their world. When a mysterious visitor infiltrates her dreams, Rayshell is thrust into a realm of profound, otherworldly secrets. Together, Rayshell and Trish uncover the unbelievable—they are the living vessels for two banished Celestine guardians.
Amidst mystical recollections and a wondrous magic system that shatters the veneer of their everyday lives, the two friends embark on a journey against time to connect with the Celestine guardians’ allies in hopes of freeing them from their imprisonment. Simultaneously, the shadows cast by Daeva darken. The notorious outlaw, Merisek, has positioned himself to claim dominion over the Order of Existence—a trio of powerful artifacts capable of reshaping reality. Armed with two of these relics, Merisek races against the emergence of the Celestine guardians to claim the third. The stage is set for a showdown that will determine the fate of existence itself.
Rayshell and Trish are all that stand between Merisek and his unhinged desire to twist the fabric of reality into his making. As the threads of destiny unravel, the question looms: who will be the author of existence, and what profound truths will be unveiled in the final, decisive act?

Kenosha Book Fesitval – Chapter Five
Holy moly! This weekend’s book festival was GREAT!
If you made it, did you load up on enough books to last until the next book fest on August 16th?
Memoir/Children’s Author Steve Tindall is coming to Studio Moonfall – 5031 7th Avenue in Kenosha – on Friday, July 24th, 2026.
Visit the shop and take a peek inside the book, Underway!:
What was it like being aboard a US Navy destroyer in the 1970’s? Having spent five years aboard two of them I sat down and chronicled my experiences underway. Ports of call, meals underway, the rigors of operations, the sights, smells, and sounds of being on the “big water” are all shared with the reader. It wasn’t glamorous but it was full of excitement, adventure, and learning how to transform from directionless teen to mature adult. So cock your cover at a salty angle, hitch up your bell bottomed jeans, and prepare for the ride of your life.
Come out to Studio Moonfall this Sunday from 10am to 3pm for Kenosha Book Festival – Chapter Four!

Visit the shop and take a peek inside the book, My Girlfriend Bites:
Sixteen-year-old Aiden sees himself as a disaster. He ran away from a fight, leaving his best friend behind to get clobbered. His confidence sucks. What girl would ever fall in love with him?
Bree can’t have friends at her new school because they might find out what she is and expose her family to the creatures that are hunting them. Bree knows she shouldn’t, but the girl offers Aiden a ride home in the pouring rain. Her black car is warm and dry.
Aiden wants her so bad that he will do anything to regain his confidence and be the strong boyfriend a girl werewolf needs him to be. All his problems would be solved if his new girlfriend could turn him, but Bree says that bite thing is only a myth.
Can Aiden win her heart and save her life? Or will he lose his confidence and get Bree and her family killed?
My Girlfriend Bites is the first book of a new young adult paranormal werewolf romance series that features unexpected twists and turns, an exceptional story, with a different take from other werewolf books. If you like a romance mixed with serious real-world problems that’s sometimes funny and sometimes dark, then you’ll love the first installment in Doug Solter’s fun and gripping paranormal romance with a twist.
The Studio Moonfall interns have pulled the elf costumes out of their storage unit to get things ready for their Christmas in July themed book festival. However, since they’re not from this planet, it’s going to be pretty interesting to see what all they have in store.
Also, they seem to be convinced that Waldo is Santa Claus.

Bring your own brats and I’ll supply the books! It’s basically the same as any other day but now you get to bring me bratwursts instead of tacos. Amazing!
Join us for a Book-tacular Christmas in July with a wintery frozen for Princess Storytime from 10am to noon, pizza cones getting served up by Deliciosos (just like the elves eat in the North Pole), and a ton of guest authors:
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned that I’m making a book with Andy Weir, right?
Well, the Kickstarter is all wrapped up and we raised over $55,000!!!
I’m not sure what the situation will be for getting any copies in the shop so stay tuned. There should be some ways to get them if you missed the Kickstarter but without some of the fancy bonuses. We’ll see!
Featured Books
Check out this week’s Featured books and stop by Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue, to pick up a copy and get a 10% discount!
Shop hours are Wednesday through Sunday 11am to 7pm.
Okay. Now I’m pretty sure that I have in fact mentioned that I’m making a book with Andy Weir. Good. That’s settled.
But have you backed it yet??
We’ve got less than three days for you to be part of the Kickstarter and gobble up all the special perks for our graphic novel anthology, Parallel Truths.
Get your chance to see Daddio’s escape from Clone Murder Island and check out all the art and stories from all the rest of the writers and illustrators bringing this book to life.
This Sunday is the Kenosha Civic Day Parade! Come down to Studio Moonfall to hang out and watch (as long as you can get through the road closures) and get special deals on books all weekend!
Guess who’s going to be judging all the floats rolling through downtown Kenosha?
Me! But don’t worry, the interns will be along for the ride to make sure I don’t take any bribes or get too heavy-handed with the shameless self promotion during the parade.
This week at Kenosha HarborMarket, our guest authors, T.R. Nickel and Kristen N. Winiarksi, are bringing pretty much every genre of book. Come see for yourself!

Our Father’s Day Kenosha Book Festival – THIS SUNDAY!
What goes together better than books and axe throwing??
Join us this Sunday for the Kenosha Book Festival/Father’s Day Street Party from 10am to 3pm at Studio Moonfall. We’ve got games, local authors, and more – including a sneak peek at Daddio – my story in the graphic novel anthology I’m making with ANDY WEIR!!!
We have special events throughout the day like Princess Story Time with the Little Mermaid from 10am to noon, Grandpa’s Story Time with my Dad(!) from noon to 2pm, and the Game Library at White Lilac all day featuring Marblehead’s and Wisconsin game designer James “The Geek” Pearson. And making this shindig even cooler, it’s Make Music Day all throughout the country so downtown will be filled with bands and musical acts here and elsewhere.
I have mentioned that I’m making a book with Andy Weir, right?
Although I’m an author and illustrator, for this graphic novel anthology, I was just writing so I had to make sure whoever was taking up the pencils for the art was going to have a heck of a good time.
So we’ve got a story of survival where even if you don’t make it, you’ll get a second chance while the mayhem is live-streamed around the world for entertainment. All that plus a dog who’s just trying to do a job alongside all this human nonsense.
Nelson Daniel, the artist who brought my story, Daddio and the Escape from Clone Murder Island to life absolutely hit it out of the park. Once you see it, you’ll want to jump into the pages yourself to save Daddio from these zillionaire nepo-baby psychopaths.
Parallel Truths will be a Kickstarter exclusive and it won’t be making to my store shelves so back it today while you can!
If you’re going to throw a Kenosha Book Festival on Father’s Day, you should probably go all out for Father’s Day.
We’re blocking off the street to make room for axe throwing, cornhole tournaments, and more on June 21st. Bring the whole family for all the different things we’re stacking on top of Kenosha’s indie-est book festival.
You can find info about each of the events at the links here:
