Kenosha Book Festival – THIS WEEKEND!

Join us from 10am to 3pm at Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue, on Sunday, August 16th for Chapter Five of the 2026 Kenosha Book Festival!

Along with over 20 authors, we’ve got double the story time, a steampunk invasion, and pizza cones! Come be part of the fun!

Meet the Author at Studio Moonfall

Fantasy author B.C. Taylor is coming to Studio Moonfall – 5031 7th Avenue in Kenosha – on Friday, August 14th, 2026.

Visit the shop and take a peek inside the book, The Lost Witch:

Five deadly Trials. An ancient, sinister evil.

One lost witch with the power to save the world.

Welcome to Asylum.

Twelve-year-old Hayden Black has never been normal, that much she knew, but when her father is abducted by demons, she learns just how remarkable she truly is. Not only is she a witch, but Heaven’s angels have chosen her as the next Salem Witch, destined to protect the world from evil… if she can survive the deadly Salem Witch Trials first.

Now Hayden must traverse the magical world of Asylum and learn to use her powers. If she doesn’t master all five elements — air, fire, water, earth, and Spirit — before her seventeenth birthday, she forfeits her life.

Hayden might have started her journey orphaned and alone, but it doesn’t take her long to forge new friendships and attract new enemies. Hayden thought her only nemesis was the residential bully, but her greatest enemy, a terrible evil lurking in the shadows, has yet to reveal itself.

Will Hayden master her air magic in time to save her friends and find her father? Or will she perish alongside them?

The Lost Witch is the first book in an urban fantasy series intended for readers ages ten and above who love Percy Jackson and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Fantasy author S&E Black is coming to Studio Moonfall – 5031 7th Avenue in Kenosha – on August 7th, 2026.

Visit the shop and take a peek inside the book, The Chimera Snare: Fragments: 

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?

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.

Daddio and the Escape from Clone Murder Island

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!
