I’ll be working the shop way too much this week so please for the love of god, come by and justify my existence.

We’ve got all sorts of holiday treats to trick you into visiting the shop like free hot cocoa, gift card bonuses, and with every Color of Kenosha coloring book we sell through December 15th, we’ll be donating one to our local Meals on Wheels.

And we’ve got authors coming by every weekend to fill your upcoming hibernation season with stories to read by the fire, all curled up with the neighborhood opossums who have snuck into your home for warmth.

Special Events:

Meet the Author – Jessie Rose – Friday 4pm to 7pm

Meet the Author – D. Lieber – Saturday 4pm to 7pm

Meet the Author – Ron Purtee – Sunday 12pm to 3pm

BOOK-O-WEEN!!!

Click here to get all the details on Book-o-Ween!

Hi! This is Studio Moonfall’s human figurehead, Donovan Scherer. This October, smack dab in the middle of Book-o-Ween, I’ve got a roving pack of indie authors making their way to the Southport Literary Fair with the Kenosha Public Library and Blue House Books.

Join us at the Southwest Library, 7979 38th Ave, on Saturday, October 5th from 11am to 5pm for this awesome, free event. Click here to follow the Facebook event

Blue House Books has lined all sorts of great writers for this event with panels, workshops, and everything else you could want. We’re even bringing in food trucks! And if you want a special one of a kind bonus, check out the exclusive, ticketed meet and greet with Brynne Weaver. Find details for that one at the bottom of BHB’s event page.

I’ll be doing a panel with Mary Winn Heider on using illustrations in chapter books and graphic novels. After that, Marcia from Kenosha Public Library will even be running a workshop on helping you start your own graphic novel. 

Who knows? 

Maybe you’ll come up with something for me to feature at Studio Moonfall!

For the full list of events, visit Blue House Books’ website for details. In the meantime, here’s a peek at a bunch of the books!
