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!

A promise unkept. A love she can’t forget. This wily human will do anything to reclaim the heart of the Goblin King.

Lady Melody Piobaire never lost faith her first love would come for her when she was forced from his side. That is, until she finds out he doesn’t even know who she really is…doesn’t even know she’s human. To make things worse, she’s the promised mistress of the sidhe king. Rather than bear Tír’s heir, she devises a plan to win back her true love in the most goblin of ways.

Orphaned elf Aodh never forgot what it was like growing up on the mean streets of Goblintown. And now, as Goblin King, he’s dedicated to being the just and attentive ruler the neglected goblins deserve. So when a spoiled human who knows nothing of what it means to be a goblin tricks him into marriage, he’ll do anything to be rid of her.

Melody is certain she can win Aodh’s heart again, so she isn’t prepared for his hot and cold hostility. Aodh is unsettled by the forward human in his home and the way she seems to know just how to get to him.

What can Melody do if her only love no longer wants her, or worse, no longer exists?

Join us for a ONCE IN A LIFETIME event with fantasy/romance author D. Lieber!
