Greta Kelly in conversation with MJ Kuhn for the release of THE QUEEN OF DAYS

Help us celebrate the latest book release from Kenosha author Greta Kelly!

Learn about Greta’s inspiration, her writing process, and what we can expect in her latest novel filled with heist and hijinks!

About the book
From Greta Kelly, the author of the Warrior Witch duology, comes “The Queen of Days,” an epic adventure that weaves together a flawed-but-lovable family of thieves, a battle between fallen gods, and stakes high enough to cause vertigo—perfect for fans of “The Lies of Locke Lamora” and “Six of Crows.”
For Balthazar and his family of thieves, stealing a statue during the annual celebration of the god Karanis was just a good bit of fun…or a way to stick it to the governor who murdered his parents. And yeah, the small fortune in reward doesn’t hurt—even if his boss also hired the mysterious Queen of Days to join the crew as “the weapon of last resort…”
Whatever that means.
But Bal doesn’t know the ceremony isn’t simply empty words and dusty tradition; it’s true magic. The kind of magic that rips open a portal for the god himself. Only the idol that Karanis planned on using for a body now lies broken at the Queen of Days’ feet. And half of it is missing.
With the aid of a lovable brawler, a society lady turned bomb maker, a disgraced soldier, and a time-eating demon, Bal must hunt down the missing half of the statue if he has any hope of earning his money, keeping his crew alive…and perhaps even saving all of humanity. But as his journey sends him racing through the city—and across realities—he discovers that doing all this might just doom the city.
The city be damned. It’s time to kill a god.
About the author
Greta K. Kelly is (probably) not a witch, death or otherwise, but she can still be summoned with offerings of too-beautiful-to-use journals and Butterfingers candy. She currently lives in Wisconsin with her husband EJ, daughters Lorelei and Nadia who are doing their level-best to take over the world.
About M J Kuhn
M.J. Kuhn is a fantasy writer by night and a mild-mannered marketing employee by day. She lives in the metro Detroit area with her very spoiled cat, Thorin Oakenshield. When she isn’t writing, you can find her weightlifting or spending far too much money buying games on Steam.

Old Northside Historic Walking Tour

NEW in 2023! On the fourth Sunday of the month, May through October, the Kenosha County Historical Society (who operates the Kenosha History Center and the seasonal Southport Light Station Museum) presents the Old Northside Historic Walking Tour.
The tour starts at 1 PM at Veterans Memorial Park (shown). The tour is expected to last 90 minutes and will make its way through the old north side of Kenosha: “over the Rhine.” Historically, the neighborhood was a mix of workers and business owners, primarily immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, and shows a slice of life in the self-contained urban neighborhood of the past. The tours are led by volunteer historians, who grew up in the neighborhood.
Reservations are required and are $10 per person. Reservations can be made in person at the Kenosha History Center, via email at kchs@kenoshahistorycenter.org, or via phone at 262-654-5770. No physical tickets are given out; the tour guides will be given a list of registered names the morning of the tour.
