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.

Hang out at the shop and take a peek inside their book, Mystical Music:
When Marek Dabrowski, a disillusioned pianist, stumbles into Madame Rosivda’s divination shop, he isn’t looking to have his fortune told, just an escape from the rain. Still, he takes her up on a free tarot reading. Out of curiosity, he returns for another reading and then another. Before long, he starts to see a direct correlation between the cards and his life. Judgment is a street-corner trumpet player named Abaddon. Death is a waitress from a local jazz club named Nyx. At the same club, he hears and immediately falls for Olive, a singer with secrets of her own. Soon Marek starts to hear the music in a new and exciting way, with just a hint of magick to guide him.

Meet the Author – Free Book Friday

This Friday from 4pm to 7pm, come by to meet our guest author, Christopher Micklos, and check out Tick Town!

Tomahawk Hollow has a huge problem. Slaughtered livestock. Disappearing townsfolk. And something in the woods hungry for blood. When a young reporter and her boss investigate, they discover a band of giant mutant ticks have made the rural Wisconsin tourist town their feeding ground.

Now, with the annual Harvest Moon Jubilee about to begin, Emmaline and Jackson must race to find the queen tick and her nest before a massive clutch of monster eggs hatch… and thousands more terrifying ticks are unleashed into the world!

Bursting with cinematic action, horror, fun, and suspense, TICK TOWN is an old-school, pulse-pounding pulp horror adventure. If you like classic creature feature horror fiction like JAWS and NIGHT OF THE CRABS or b-movie monster mayhem like THEM! and STARSHIP TROOPERS, you’ll love TICK TOWN!
