This Week at Studio Moonfall

Snow Business Brings No Business

Small Business Saturday was so bad with the snow that I’ve had to have the interns get side gigs doing singing telegrams. Unfortunately, their singing is so bad that the Better Business Bureau and Neighborhood Watch have started fining me.

To help pay for the fines, we’re extending the Black Friday deals and including the cool new Studio Moonfall tote bags and Mystery Stickers with any $25 purchases throughout next Sunday or when we run out of tote bags.

Please help. The interns can’t go back to jail.

Meet the Author – Free Book Friday

But when one of her friends vanishes, Everly dives headfirst into the dangerous Shadow Trade world—filled with supernatural creatures, ancient artifacts, and secrets that could get her killed.

Stop by the Studio Moonfall booth to check out her book, Mr. Wilson’s Wives.

After her family cuts her off for writing a tell-all memoir, Elizabeth Rodriguez heads to northern Wisconsin looking for peace and a fresh start. Instead, she finds an obituary for Erwin Wilson—a man who was married twenty-three times.

Elizabeth can’t resist. She starts tracking down locals and ex-wives, convinced their stories will make her next bestseller. When her younger brother shows up out of the blue, she pulls him into the investigation. But the more they learn about Erwin’s complicated life, the more Elizabeth has to ask herself: is she doing this for the right reasons? And are some stories better left alone?

See you November 29th!

This Week at Studio Moonfall

Meet the Author – Free Book Friday

Visit us on Friday, October 3rd, 2025 at Studio Moonfall from 4pm to 7pm to meet Fantasy/Romance author, D. Lieber.

Hang out at the shop and take a peek inside their book, Bitten by the North Wind:

A reluctant werewolf, the man who turned her, and the prophecy that brought them together. Volatile Wisconsin werewolves wrestle with messy emotions and Norse mythological forces in this paranormal romance.

Thea never thought accepting a date with the office hottie would wind up with her being turned into a werewolf. After months of struggle and unmasked rage, she’s finally ready to step back into her human life. She’s absolutely done with having to rely on him, and she never wants to see him again.

Syver has been a werewolf for most of his life, and he’s been well in control of his wolf side for years. When he accidentally turns Thea in a moment of passion, he accepts that she’s angry with him. The only thing he can do is teach her what she needs to know about being a mánagarmr and the forces of nature they embody.

Despite everything he’s done to her, Thea still can’t resist Syver’s touch, and his knowledge of that fact makes him unbearably arrogant. Syver can’t seem to think straight or control himself whenever Thea is around, putting them both in danger.

Can these two werewolves learn to control the chaos within them before someone ends up dead?

Meet the Author – Free Book Friday

Visit us on Friday, October 3rd, 2025 at Studio Moonfall from 4pm to 7pm to meet Poetry & Horror Author, R.E. Bunch.

Hang out at the shop and take a peek inside their book, Red Horn:

“From the flames, I rise. The flesh rejuvenated from the charred, brittle bones of a weaker creature. I am alive.”

“Hands like claws and mouths like jagged caverns, howling for their next meal. It cannot be stopped until it is suppressed into a place of abundance.”

From the award-winning author of The By-Blow Promise Land, comes a new terrifying tale that is generations in the making.

Red Horn, a small rural town in northern Wisconsin, is sacred. A tight-knit community built on centuries of tradition and rituals that will bring about an age of peace. If Victor Ours, the heir apparent, has his way-the madness stops with him. The dark truths of the Ours’ family come to light. The angel they pray to is preying on them, and no one can stop it. Victor must make his decision: go into the unknown alone or stay to keep the peace everyone else wants.

Get a sneak peek at Red Horn at https://studiomoonfall.com/authoralley/rebunch/
