No Foolin’?!

THIS IS NOT A JOKE

Script is submitted and contract signed – I’m doing a graphic novel anthology with author of Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir!

Join a clone and his lovable dog companion this fall in Daddio and the Escape from Clone Murder Island. Along with Andy Weir, the anthology will have a handful of authors whose books you may have seen at Studio Moonfall, like David Viergutz and Lydia Sherrer (no relation). It’s being published by Author Nation, the big conference I do in Las Vegas every year, and produced by Legendary, the company behind the new Godzilla, Dune, and upcoming Gundam movies.

I’ll have more info sooner than later so keep an eye out for the Kickstarter once it’s announced.

Indie Bookstore Day

Indie Bookstore Day is coming up on April 25th, the day before the first Kenosha Book Festival of the season. To get things started, we’re expanding store hours to Wednesday through Sunday from 11am to 7pm.

Starting today, you can pick up your Indie Bookstore Passport. We’ve got 17 shops in the region on board so start exploring!

If you can’t wait to get your passport, CLICK HERE to for printable version.

And for the Kenosha Book Festival, we’ll start announcing all the authors this week (?) so keep an eye on the Studio Moonfall Facebook page.

The State of the Patreon

With having to jump into writing the script for the Andy Weir anthology, I ran into a major log jam on production for the three coloring books I’m currently working on. But don’t worry. We’ve got good news!

All of the coloring pages for the 2026 Color of Kenosha are off to the businesses for approval. As long as there aren’t any major changes, we’re still in the window to get the books in time for the first Kenosha Book Festival on April 26th. Fingers crossed.

And for members of the Patreon, April stickers are in! I’ll do a quick mail out of everything currently on hand. For the coloring books from February until now – The Color of Kenosha, Quest for the Golden Egg Roll, and Night of the Living ZomBeans: Vol. 5 – we should have all of those in around early May so I’ll send them out all at once.

… oh dang. What will the May book be?

And of course, if you aren’t a member yet, sign up for the monthly rewards or I.O.U.s of monthly rewards HERE. You can even give a membership as a gift HERE.

Alien Road Trip

Hey there, sport.

Studio Moonfall will be closed Wednesday and Thursday this week so that I can take the interns down to Texas to wrangle up some rattlesnakes and battle a minotaur.

I’ll try to take some good pics.

Normal hours resume on Friday and we’ll be extending hours in April in prepation for Indie Bookstore Day and the start of the Kenosha Book Festival.

See you soon!

Dungeons & Egg Rolls

Our first adventure at Mr. Yee’s was a blast!

Right now, I have to focus on wrapping up the 2026 Color of Kenosha and getting things rolling for the book festivals but I’m hoping to get the dice rolling soon. I’ll announce it here once our goblins are ready so stay tuned.

It’s the Birthday Week!

While the Blind Date with a Book Sale continues until Sunday, we’ve once again come to that time of year when the interns and I become another year older, more senile, and willing to do even riskier things to prevent winding up back at a terrible day job.

Stop by this weekend, get a Blind Date book, $1 used book, and bring presents!

After the plummeting temperature and disastrous failure of the Sixth Annual G.O.O.B.E.R. leading to endless tears of our precious alien interns, Mr. Nanners, Bookley, and Boogs are stepping in to try to save the day.

• Snow Daze Do-Over – Saturday, February 7th
• Blind Date with a Book Sale – February 7th through 15th
• Intern Surprise Birthday Party

Ice Sculptures are rolling in this Saturday since the original date was too cold for happy downtown-strolling and cocoa-sipping. We’ll be getting a taste of Wonderland at Studio Moonfall so come on by for free hot cocoa, $1 used books, and a brand new special deal…

Blind Date with a Book is starting alongside Snow Daze with 20% off a TON of mysterious books from many genres – all from local and independent authors. Keep an eye on the Facebook event page for clues about the books to choose from.

SHOCKINGLY, the interns all share the same birthday as me, February 12th. Wow!

Please, bring them cake and presents. They like tacos and D&D monster miniatures.

February Patreon Rewards

Quest for the Golden Egg Roll is in the works!

Doing something a bit different for this one. As I draw up the pages, I’ll be be posting them on Patreon for people to print for free. The book itself won’t be out for a bit because I’m planning to do a BIG print run alongside the 2026 Color of Kenosha books.

So, the book itself we’ll be coming in April but until then, you can print off and share as many copies as you’d like (if you’re a member of the Studio Moonfall Patreon).

If you want to get in on the action, plus get a 10% discount in store on new books, games and D&D, and puzzles, sign up for as little as $3 per month at www.patreon.com/donovanscherer

And if you’re already a member, this month’s stickers are at the shop or in the mail!
