Well. 2025. That was something, right?

I fell way behind on making new books but had a few good ones with the Color of Kenosha Rocks, a top secret one that only Patreon members got to see, and perhaps my greatest achievement ever achieved in the history of achieving things – Chubbimals. I love them.

The Kenosha Book Festivals went well though I do plan on doing a few museum heists to score some loot and increase the marketing budget for them. Next year, we’ll be adding some cool new stuff and maybe installing a gladitorial arena if my landlord is okay with it. If not, we’ll have plenty of new authors for you to meet.

And we’ve got a TON of new authors in the shop from Reader Nation in Las Vegas. In fact, the store is so full of books, I’m not sure what to do other than to try and convince everyone reading this into signing up for the monthly goodies at Patreon for the glorious Studio Moonfall expansion. Imagine if the interns had tiny bedrooms to live in so they wouldn’t have to commute and could just work all the time. They’d love it!

Soooo, grab your Winter Challenge Stamp Card and I’ll see you at Studio Moonfall!

This week, the shop will be open Monday through Wednesday from 11am to 3pm, closed Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11am to 7pm, and Sunday 11am to 3pm.

Oh! One more thing!

I’m starting weekly coupons in the email newsletter, so click here to go sign up!

Meet the Author – Free Book Friday

Author Eleanor Wells is coming to Studio Moonfall – 5031 7th Avenue in Kenosha – on Friday, January 2nd, 2026.

Visit the shop and take a peek inside the book, All Our Yesterdays: 

It’s the summer of 1999 in rural Minnesota, and eighteen-year-old Marcy Lewis is at a crossroads. Having graduated high school without committing to college, she wonders about the meaning of her life and what she is meant to achieve. On a trip with her sister to New York City, she meets up-and-coming musician Cole Hargrove, and the spark between the two of them is instantaneous. After Cole is inspired to write songs about her, he becomes one of the biggest names in music. As Marcy is thrust into a world of wealth and fame unlike anything she’s ever known, she finds herself torn between her sense of identity and status as one of pop’s greatest muses.

Meet the Author – Free Book Friday

Fantasy author Meadoe Hora is coming to Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue in Kenosha, on Friday, December 19th, 2025, from 4pm to 7pm. Stop by the shop to meet the author, chat about mythology-inspired fantasy, and explore a bold reimagining of an ancient legend.

Featured Book: Ariadne’s Crown

For fans of Circe and Elektra, Ariadne’s Crown retells the Greek myth from the perspective of the woman history often overlooks. Killing the Minotaur is only half the story.

As heir to the throne of ancient Crete, Ariadne lives in the shadow of her heroic brother. She’s impulsive, restless, and unsure of her place until a proud Athenian warrior arrives with the tribute that threatens a fragile peace. Theseus is the enemy, yet his words make Ariadne question everything she’s been taught.

When loyalties collide and the gods take notice, Ariadne must choose between family, fate, and the dangerous pull of Dionysus himself.

“This is perhaps one of the best and most entertaining young adult mythology novels I’ve read this year.” – Readers’ Favorite Review

Meet the Author at Kenosha Harbor Market

Author Kaitlyn Bolyard is coming to Kenosha HarborMarket, indoors at the Women’s Club, 6028 8th Ave., on Saturday, December 20th, 2025, from 9am to 1pm. Stop by the Studio Moonfall booth to meet the author, talk about character-driven storytelling, and discover a novel that blends curiosity, ambition, and moral tension.

Featured Book: Mr. Wilson’s Wives

After being shunned by the women in her family for writing a tell-all memoir, Elizabeth Rodriguez escapes to northern Wisconsin in search of peace and inspiration. Instead, she finds herself drawn into a mystery sparked by a local obituary. Erwin Wilson, married twenty-three times, becomes the focus of her attention and the possible subject of her next book.

As Elizabeth interviews locals and tracks down former wives, her investigation deepens. When her younger brother unexpectedly arrives, she pulls him into the search. But with every answer uncovered, Elizabeth must confront a harder truth: some stories may cost more than they’re worth, and repairing family bonds may matter more than chasing the next bestseller.

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.

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?
