MOCKINGBIRD COURT: Juneau Black in Kenosha!
2025-10-10 18:30 - 20:30 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
Welcome to Shady Hollow! It’s a small town populated by friendly animal folks, from birds to bears. The calm is marred only by the occasional murder. Twists and turns are just part of the ride in the cozy world of Shady Hollow. So grab a cup of coffee from Joe’s Mug, put up your paws, and dive into the series that readers are calling “gently bizarre” and “cute, quirky, fluffy fun, with a touch of lurking darkness.”
Join Juneau Black at Blue House Books to celebrate the sixth and FINAL installment of the Shady Hollow series, “Mockingbird Court”. On Friday, October 10th at 6:30 p.m., writing duo Sharon Nagel and Jocelyn Cole will help us wish our favorite woodland creatures farewell as they discuss their latest cozy mystery story.
This event is ticketed, check out the details and grab your ticket here: https://www.blue-house-books.com/events/3539020251010
About MOCKINGBIRD COURT:
In the latest installment in the beloved Shady Hollow series, everyone’s favorite vulpine investigator Vera Vixen must contend with a cold-hearted killer—and the ghost of her own past.
It’s a crisp, cool autumn in Shady Hollow, and preparations are underway for the annual Harvest Festival. Creatures have flocked from far and wide to partake in the seasonal festivities, from pumpkin carving to pie tasting to soup throwing. With all these new faces around town, it’s the perfect time for someone to slip in unnoticed.
Unless that someone is Bradley Marvel, the most famous author—and most noticeable personality—in any woodland warren. It seems the wolf is on the lam. Back in the city, a body was found in his penthouse apartment at Mockingbird Court, and Marvel skipped town before the questioning could commence.
Marvel claims to be innocent, and it’s up to Vera and her friends to piece together what might have happened that fateful night so many miles away in the beating heart of the big city. But things get complicated when Vera learns that she also knows the victim … and might even be implicated herself.
About JUNEAU BLACK:
Juneau Black is the pen name of authors Jocelyn Cole and Sharon Nagel. They share a love of excellent bookshops, fine cheeses, and a good murder (in fictional form only). Though they are two separate people, if you ask either of them a question about their childhood, you are likely to get the same answer. This is a little unnerving for any number of reasons. Sharon lives in Wisconsin, where she works as a librarian. Jocelyn lives in the city-state of Philadelphia, where she also writes romance as Elizabeth Cole.

Meet & Greet with Jeannee Sacken
2025-10-11 11:00 - 14:00 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
Jeannee Sacken is back with her newest release, “The Women Who Stand Between”, a suspenseful women’s fiction and the first of a brand new series. Known for her Annie Hawkins series, Jeannee’s writing combines mystery and suspense, romance, and women’s fiction all in one.
Join Jeannee Sacken at Blue House Books on Saturday, October 11th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to celebrate her new book! Each purchase will receive a free copy of her new novella, “Depth of Field”, the epilogue to the Annie Hawkins series. Jeannee will be chatting with excited readers and signing books, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this fantastic Milwaukee author!
About THE WOMEN WHO STAND BETWEEN:
Julia Wilde is one of the best wildlife cinematographers in the business. But while on location in southern Africa, she finds herself unfairly blamed for an accident that leaves several crew members dead. Blacklisted by the movie industry, she takes a job in the film department at a midwestern university only to discover that tenure depends on her making a movie.
With a small crew of talented filmmaking friends in tow, Julia heads back to Zimbabwe to make a documentary about the Mambas—a fierce, all-female, anti-poaching unit who risk their lives every day to protect endangered species.
But as Julia soon learns, being behind the lens is no protection from poachers who will do whatever it takes to protect their business and keep this movie from seeing the light of day.
About JEANNEE SACKEN:
A former university professor, Jeannée Sacken is now a photojournalist who travels to the ends of the earth, documenting the lives of women and children. She also photographs wildlife and is deeply committed to the conservation of endangered species. Described by “MKE Lifestyle” magazine as “Indiana Jones with a camera,” Jeannée has summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro, canoed the Zambezi River, kayaked the North Pacific, and driven through far-western Mongolia in a blizzard. Many of her adventures have been fictionalized into her novels.
Her debut novel, “Behind the Lens”, the first book in the Annie Hawkins Series, has won numerous awards, including the 2021 American Writing Awards Novel of the Year and the Hawthorne Prize. “Double Exposure” was a finalist for the Firebird Awards for Best Suspense, Romantic Suspense, and Women’s Fiction. “The Rule of Thirds” won the Killer Nashville 2024 Silver Falchion Award for Best Suspense and the 2023 Literary Global Award for Novel of the year, among other prizes.
